Self Esteem AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor

Self Esteem has announced a third show at Bristol Beacon later this year.

She will now perform at the city venue on October, 3, 4 and 5, with support coming from Nadine Shah and Moonchild Sanelly.

The announcement comes after a series of well-reviewed shows at Duke of York’s Theatre in London in April.

Rebecca Lucy Taylor, AKA Self Esteem emerged from cult favourite status to mainstream star following the huge success of her 2021 single ‘I Do This All The Time’.

An acclaimed second album Prioritise Pleasure quickly followed, tackling the ‘hypocrisies and joys found in her experiences of modern day womanhood across dating, friendship, comparison culture, self love, women’s safety and sexual assault and much more’.

Prioritise Pleasure received Mercury Prize, BRIT Award, Sky Arts and NME Award nominations, was crowned The Guardian and Sunday Times Culture’s Album of the Year, and ‘I Do This All The Time’ was also named The Guardian’s #1 song of 2021.

Before finding success as Self Esteem, Taylor spent a decade as one half of indie duo Slow Club before adopting the pop star persona she’d always dreamed of.

She released her first Self Esteem album Compliments Please in 2019, featuring fan favourite singles ‘The Best’, ‘Girl Crush’ and more.

Taylor has appeared on The Graham Norton Show, Celebrity Gogglebox, Friday Night Live, performed three times on Jools Holland including the NYE Hootenanny, graced the covers of magazines from Grazia to NME to Sunday Times Style, and is one of a handful of artists to have been playliste across BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music simultaneously.

Branching out into the world of acting, Taylor starred in a regular role in the Sky series Smothered , before completing a run playing Sally Bowles in the multiple Olivier Award-winning production of ‘Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club’ in London’s West End.

Starring alongside Jake Shears (lead singer of Scissor Sisters) as Emcee, the pair’s time on stage was extended due to popular demand, and showcased the sheer range of talent in Taylor’s repertoire.

A one-off collaborative single with Moonchild Sanelly, ‘Big Man’, was released in the summer of 2024.
