Recording career

Bastille Emerge

After Dan Smith had been playing with Woody for just over a year, he met Will at one of his gigs.[1] Farquarson had shown great interest in Smith and Woody's music and was willing to become a bassist for the band.[2] The last member of Bastille was recruited by Dan Smith at a party. Kyle Simmons was hard to convince but Smith's perseverance paid off when Simmons joined in 2010.[3]

Bastille

Bastille have collaborated with many people such as Naughty Boy, Ella Eyre, Rudimental, Gabrielle Aplin and Angel Haze. Their singles Pompeii and Of the Night reached number two in the UK Charts in 2013.[4]
