Brighton date on first-ever UK tour for Melbourne singer-songwriter Ernest Aines

But it won’t just be about the tour. Ernest’s first-ever steps on UK soil will also be about finding out more about his family.

“My dad's side of the family is a mystery but part of my family lives there. And it will be really exciting to meet them for the first time. They are in the Bath area. It is a little bit daunting but it would be great to find out more about my father's side of the family. My dad was adopted and it's going to be a really intriguing journey to find out more. I really know nothing in terms of my uncles and aunties that are living but fortunately from what I have heard they are lovely and I would like to think that I might find out more about what happened with my granddad. He was a musician as well, I believe. I think he played the drums and I just want to know more about that lineage.”
