Embrace and Tom Speight

Embrace, formed in 1990 by Huddersfield's McNamara brothers, emerged during the late '90s post-Brit-pop era. Blending Oasis and Verve influences, they achieved UK fame with hits like "All You Good Good People" and albums such as "The Good Will Out" (1998). Known for their anthemic rock style, they signed with Hut and later Independiente, collaborating with keyboardist Mickey Dale. Their creative journey spanned multiple albums, including the chart-topping "Out of Nothing" (2004). Embrace explored new musical directions with their self-titled 2014 release and celebrated their 20th anniversary with "Love Is a Basic Need" (2018).

Tipped by major publications, Speight is a prolific artist known for his EPs and albums, with 300M+ streams and strong BBC Radio 2 support. He has toured globally, headlining shows and supporting big acts like Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi.
