Editor's note

Gabrielle, the Bristol band with a quiet grip.

A steady UK presence since the '90s, known for 'Dreams' and 'Out of Reach.'

For a sense of their range, listen to the early hit 'Dreams' and later tracks like 'Walk On By' or 'I Wish.' They're not flashy, but they've held a lane.

They landed a number one with 'Dreams' right out of the gate in 1993, and 'Out of Reach' from 1996 stuck around as one of those songs people just know. Even with lineup changes and a settled plagiarism claim over 'Give Me a Little More Time,' they kept putting out albums like 'Walk on By' and 'Rise.' Their Ivor Novello Award in 2010 nods to a songwriting consistency that's easy to overlook.

The band started in Bristol in the early '90s with Louise McSharry on vocals. After McSharry left in 2002, they continued with members like drummer Jamie Anderson, releasing albums such as 'Always' and 'Under the Sun.'

Archive material and source history

Gabrielle came out of Bristol in the early 1990s with Louise McSharry on vocals, Chris Ball on guitar, and John Baggot on bass. Their self-titled debut in 1993 had the single 'Dreams' that went to number one in the UK. The follow-up album in 1996 included 'Out of Reach,' which became one of those songs people remember.

McSharry left in 2002 to go solo, but the band kept going with other members like drummer Jamie Anderson and keyboardist Ben Maitland. They put out albums like 'Walk on By' in 2000 and 'Rise' in 2004, and later ones like 'Always' and 'Under the Sun.' Some of their other songs include 'I Wish' and '5 O'Clock.'

There was a plagiarism claim about 'Give Me a Little More Time' in 1994 that got settled out of court. They got an Ivor Novello Award for song collection in 2010.
