Award winning Blues / Classic Rock Band From Newport, South Wales. playing original material

Luke Doherty – Was born on 29th March 1994, in Newport, Gwent. He had an interest in music at a very young age. Although no one in his family play an instrument, he was determined to learn to play something, and at the age of 5 he started playing piano, but didn’t like it. He then asked to play the drums but was told by a drum teacher he was way too young and to wait a couple of years. He then settled on a 1/2 size acoustic guitar which he had to give up after 3 months due to medical reasons. At 71/2 he was nagging his parents again to learn guitar, so they bought him a second hand 1/2 size electric guitar and a second hand amp and he has never looked back. He instantly became hooked on blues, intently watching any blues musicians he could find on TV or DVD.
Luke met Eric Clapton when he was 9yrs old at the John Mayell 7Oth Birthday concert in Liverpool. Also aged 9 he asked his parents if he could take Rock School exams which he sailed through to grade 8 by the age of 11, as well as a extra performance grade 8. He was then interviewed on BBC Radio Wales because he was the youngest person to have passed grade 5, 6 and 8. Also when he was 10 years old he recorded Parisian Walkways, of which Gary Moore has a copy.

*THE ONLY GNR TRIBUTE TO PERFORM WITH MEMBERS OF THE OLD AND NEW GNR LINEUP*

Guns 2 Roses have existed since late 2002 and have become biggest GNR tribute in history with the credentials to prove it!

Their ability to emulate classic GNR has even been approved by members of the actual Guns N Roses and is also why G2R are the most famous GNR tribute band in the world having played live with actual members of GNR on multiple occasions with footage on YouTube from each event. They have and still play to thousands throughout the world from UK, Europe, India, Middle East and USA. 28 countries in total so far and are assigned to all the major tribute festivals, venues and agencies in the UK and Europe.

The ever-popular award winning ‘Dark Side Of The Wall’ return once again to present an evening of classic Pink Floyd music in their own inimitable style.

One of those is the band’s long-serving, and Leicester-based, bass player Steve Chilton, says, “I always think that one of our great selling points is the fact that we love what we do. Live gigs should always be about that band and audience interaction. Pink Floyd’s music and persona is often perceived as quite serious but whilst we perform their music with the love and respect it deserves, we always bring our own personalities to the stage. This is definitely no ‘look-a-like’ tribute band and we’re proud of that. Who’d want to look like Pink Floyd anyway?”

In well over 2 hours of reverent tribute to their heroes DSOTW perform music from all Pink Floyd’s classic albums and feature tracks such as Comfortably Numb, Money, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Another Brick In The Wall to name just a few. If you’ve seen Dark Side Of The Wall in concert before then you’ll know it’s a gig not to be missed as they bring their theatre show into the more intimate setting of the Musician.

Please join Simon and special friends Rebecca Mileham & Kevin Hewick for this wonderful triple bill

"Simon Waldram can evoke the most calmest acoustic pastoralism this side of Roger Water's 'Grantchester Meadows' yet he has an experimental edge and radical punk ethos that makes him more than just a man and a guitar even when he is 'just' a man and a guitar. Prolific, and with an impressive amount of music already released in his name, Waldram is a fascinating and unique figure on the alternative music scene." - Kevin Hewick

A very exciting double header in a Green Man warm up with Tiny Ruins and opening the show the awesome Ka Safar.

A band project comprising Richard Dawson, Rhodri Davies, Dawn Bothwell and Sally Pilkington, Hen Ogledd’s meaning comes from the Welsh name for The Old North.

Mogic - came out in November 2018 - is Hen Ogledd’s third LP (their first for Weird World), and their most surprising and accessible work yet.

Each hailing from historically different tribal regions of the Old North, the musicians on Mogic challenge the idea that the ancient world was rife with magic, while the new is infiltrated by cold logic. The tracks on Mogic create new phantasmal blends of images and ideas that draw upon the mystical and technological. Mogic is a discombobulating pop prayer exploring artificial intelligence, witches, nanotechnology, pre-medieval history, robots, romance, computer games and waterfalls.


This dynamic record of eddies and swirls, ravishing melodies, hallucinatory textures and bonkers rhythms is pinned down by some deft performances: Pilkington’s picture-perfect pop and earthy singing, Davies’ blazing harp splutterations and guitar moans, Bothwell's twisted telephone techno and bamboozling lyric-bombs and Dawson's utter bass.

TINY RUINS

“...an album that both bruises the heart and lifts the soul...songwriting that demonstrates a novelist’s eye for detail.”
— Uncut review of Brightly Painted One

While spanning continents, Tiny Ruins became a sought after collaborator. A New York recording session culminated in the EP Hurtling Through (2015) with indie-rock legend Hamish Kilgour (The Clean), while 2016 single Dream Wave was recorded and produced by award-winning cult filmmaker and musician David Lynch:

“A tranquil, pared-back track [with] a gradually rising sense of the macabre… very special indeed.”
— The Line of Best Fit
