Blind Yeo
The project began in the solitude of lockdown, before coming alive in a creatively explosive residency at the newly opened Cornish Bank in 2022 – a vibrant not-for-profit community arts space in the centre of Falmouth. The band has since grown into a kraut-y, folky, groove-heavy, psychedelic carnival of sound best experienced live!

Led by Will Greenham, Blind Yeo features a shifting cast of members which at present includes Henry Greenham, Sam Pert, Anoushka Helm, Jake Sheridan, Phil Self, Phyllida Bluemel and Dan Gilbert. Since their humble beginnings, Blind Yeo have become embedded in the thriving underground Cornish scene, performing memorable sets across UK festivals including Lost Map’s Christmas Humbug in Edinburgh, Great Estate, and Tropical Pressure in Cornwall.
Blind Yeo self-released their debut EP Echoesin April 2023, with tracks receiving plays from NTS, Soho Radio and BBC Introducing. It was followed in May 2024 by their Lost Map debut single ‘Otherside’ – a six-and-a-half-minute blur of motorik beats, rave synths and jagged electric guitar runs which received support from BBC 6 Music’s New Music Fix. Blind Yeo’s second EP Anam Cara was recorded last summer in guitarist Dan Gilbert’s cob house, off-grid, solar powered studio hidden in woodland just off the north coast of Cornwall. Instead of putting it out as a purely standalone release, they’ve decided to pair it up with Echoes to create a revealing document of the band’s first two years together, and the thrilling journey of discovery they’ve been on to date – a journey that shows no time of stopping anytime soon.
