A gig held at Mr Wolfs on Monday 15th February. The event starts at 20:00.
Roadhouse Reduced: The songs, strums and throat of Mike Ashdown assisted by the sublime Tony Barrett-Powell (lead guitar) and Steve Brookes (harmonica)
David 9 Lunas: Living in the UK from four years old, David a Trinidadian, has been mesmerizing audiences up and down the country for a while now; usually solo but sometimes with a kick-arse rhythm section that he calls The King Pigs
Specialising in slide and fingerpicking David's style is both fluid and forcefully rhythmical with powerful vocal that ranges from lush to gravelly.
In 1990, David charted at No1 in Ireland with band No Sweat, as their lead guitar player/song writer. Managed by Def. Leppard's Joe Elliott.
David recorded and toured extensively in the US and the UK on the back of No Sweat's debut album recorded by Super Producer Keith Olsen (White Snake, Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac).
No Sweat dissolved so David was invited to join B.L.O.W a London trip-rock band made from the ashes of the Scarborough boy rock band Little Angels after they had heard him sing two year previously!
B.L.O.W sold well with their album'Pigs' with David as front man in the summer of 1995 that culminating in an MTV interview and acoustic performance that was reviewed favorably by London's major music magazine, Kerrang amongst others.
B.L.O.W parted when drummer Mark Rich left to join the newly formed Skunk Anansie
David's solo acoustic career began and he accommodated a more punk-folk vision as the solo artist: David 9 Lunas.
In June 2014 David 9 Lunas first solo album, Rain Water and Wine became available
In April 2015 David 9 Lunas launched his first EP, Mushroom Tea at a launch party at The Spice of Life in central London. All CD's are available through Band camp, face book and you can purchase a CD at all live performances.
Jack Harrison is a 27 year-old singer-songwriter and musician based in English coastal town, Bridport (Dorset). Jack writes and performs songs on guitar/piano influenced by folk/alt.rock/indie/blues music - his voice, musicality and writing however remain distinctive. Jack's songs vary from finger-picked, intimate-vocal tracks to 4-piece arranged rock'n'roll numbers, each displaying a strong command of melody, lyric and personality.
For the past few years Jack has worked closely with cellist/producer Matt Benjamin and the pair have played shows, festivals, radio sessions as a duo (sometimes as a trio with guitarist and singer Aidan Simpson) across the country including a main stage slot at'Moseley Folk Festival 2013' and a two-night stint at London venue'The Islington' in 2014. They have recorded two EPs, 'Going to the Fayre'/ 'A Brighter Black' (the latter alongside Aidan Simpson) and have also composed, arranged and performed live soundtracks for arts council funded theatre and contemporary dance productions.
On top of this the pair regularly put on events, gigs and parties around the south-west in an array of settings bringing singers, musicians and artists together from across the country and overseas as well as offering a platform for burgeoning local talents.
