FOUR Swiss brothers are hoping to break the UK’s music scene through a series of free intimate gigs at Youth Hostels.

MTV Award nominated, double platinum-selling band 77 Bombay Street will be visiting YHA Ambleside on February 10 as part of their tour next year.

Formed in 2008, the Swiss chart-topping foursome is fronted by brothers Matt, Joe, Simri-Ramon and Esra Buchli.

The ambitious band have set their sights on breaking the UK’s music scene by using YHA as a platform to engage a new fan base.

In Switzerland, the band has topped the charts with both its 2011 and 2012 albums ‘Up in the Sky’ and ‘Oko Town’ respectively which went platinum.

Their latest album, ‘Seven Mountains’, was written in London and produced by Chris Vallejo, who has already worked with artists including Passenger and Empire Of The Sun.

It combines folk-rock, pop and classical acoustic sounds with gorgeous results.

Delighted to be returning to the UK and touring YHAs in 2016, Matt said: “We are really excited to be working with YHA (England and Wales) and coming to the UK to showcase our music.

“There is something really special about Youth Hostels, people from around the world coming together exchanging travel tips with a mutual respect and the sense of belonging in a global community.

“Big parts of our song writing were inspired and took place in London and we are really excited to be back touring with our third album.”

77 Bombay Street will join a number of young, signed and unsigned musicians including George Ezra, Amber Run and Prides that have used YHA’s network of venues to showcase their music to new audiences.

Hannah Marsland, Network Marketing Manager at YHA (England and Wales) said: “YHA is delighted to be involved with the band’s UK launch.

“As well as hosting the gigs for artists to showcase their talents, it is also an opportunity for YHA (England and Wales) to reach out to young people and highlight the incredible wealth of affordable adventure and accommodation on our doorstep."
