ANOTHER VU
A TRIBUTE TO THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Meet The Band
CAM FORRESTER (Guitar & Lead Vocals)
A multi-instrumentalist & songwriter from Essex, Cam has led various original music projects as a singer, performed in cover bands (most notably the established Northern Soul band The Signatures, as a keyboardist from 2015-2017), and worked with several local artists as a Hammond organ session player.
In 2019 he released a solo album entitled ‘What’s Going On Upstairs?’ - a rich fusion of ethereal wall-of-sound soul, gritty indie rock, and dreamy shoegaze.
Since 2021, he has focused on YouTube content production, specialising in comprehensive music documentaries, and insightful tutorials.
Cam also restores vintage musical instruments, classic Citroëns, and is generally passionate about all things creative and retro.

BOBBY TAMARALI (Guitar, Viola & Vocals)
In addition to his expertise as a guitarist & musicologist specialising in the improvisational styles of Sterling Morrison and Lou Reed, Bobby is an accomplished singer-songwriter, arranger, and bandleader (most recently with The Delmore Effect).
Of further note, he was shortlisted by the influential indie band Pavement to join them on their highly anticipated reunion tour.
Alongside his cherished Custom Shop 1964 Gibson ES-335 guitar, he also plays a custom hand-built electric viola, bringing the pivotal and rarely replicated drone tonalities of John Cale to our live performance.
Beyond his musical pursuits, Bobby is an anti-establishment dissident, a physician, and a philosopher. He divides his time between London and downtown New York.

ELLA WALLACE-MANNING (Percussion)
Ella is a self-taught drummer from Norwich.
She first picked up the sticks to play with the DIY punk band PMT, and later the pop-punk band Compact Pussycat (who she performed with for over 10 years), playing support for bands such as UK Subs, The Damned, Goldblade, The Vibrators, and Stiff Little Fingers - to name a few.
She has also worked with multiple local artists such as Maria Uzor (a.k.a Girl In A Thunderbolt - and one half of Sink Ya Teeth).
