Biography

The Feeling channelled ELO and Supertramp through millennial studio polish, winning airplay with unapologetic tunefulness.

Dan Gillespie Sells’ clean tenor rides pianos and guitar jangle engineered for singalong clarity.

Their catalogue suits formats that still rotate British pop-rock escapism between heavier guitar hours.

Lossless streams separate Leslie guitar, backing vocal panoramas, and tight rhythm-section pocket hits.

The Feeling are from Sussex and take their cue from 1970s soft rock such as ELO, 10cc, and Supertramp. Dan Gillespie Sells is the frontman, alongside the brothers Kevin and Ciaran Jeremiah. The debut Twelve Stops and Home (2006) produced Sewn, Fill My Little World, and Love It When You Call.

Join with Us (2008) and Together We Were Light Years Away (2011) followed. Gillespie Sells later wrote the music for the stage musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, which opened in Sheffield in 2017 and became a West End hit.
