history

Singer Reid (born December 30, 1989 ) and guitarist Rothman (born September 23, 1989 ), both originally from London, met in the dormitory of Nottingham University . In 2009 they founded London Grammar and initially only appeared as a cover band. After drummer Major (born February 23, 1991 ) joined the group, the first songs were written. Further local appearances followed, mostly in front of a small audience, but the band remained largely unknown.

With the single Wasting My Young Years , the band reached the British charts for the first time in June 2013. The debut album If You Wait was released on September 9, 2013.
