Emmy The Great used to be in a band. Then one day the band stopped showing up to rehearsals. And when she bumped into the band at college or at Sainsburys, her band would go 'Look! Frank Sinatra!' and scarper. So Emmy took the hint and started playing by herself.

Sometimes she plays with a mysterious man with a violin bow. Sometimes she also plays in groups.
