Rebecca Downes |
www.rebeccadownes.com |
"Rebecca Downes is fast establishing herself
as one of the star attractions amongst the new vanguard of blues
performers in the UK, with her unique and powerful voice,
drawing influences ranging from Blues and Soul to Jazz and Rock.
Rebecca’s voice and performances have been, quite rightly,
likened to such legendary artists as the full on Tina Turner,
the bluesy feel of Etta James, and the raw power of Janis
Joplin. Her passion for music comes from a deep belief in the
power and authenticity of live music and a love for what she
does."

Eugene Hideaway Bridges |
|
"Born in New Orleans, Eugene is a nomadic
musician living his life on the road travelling from America
through Europe, to Australia with many other stops in between. A
towering man with a huge voice, playing an unparalleled brand of
blues, oozing enough genuine charm to light up a small city. If
you like your blues music laced with soul, funk, gospel and
rock, delivered with buckets of class and warmth take a listen
to Eugene’s musical catalogue". |

Giles Robson & The Dirty Aces |
|
"The centrepiece of the band is
vocalist and harmonica player Giles Robson and together with
guitarist Filip Kozlowski they are responsible for the deadly
riffs, grooves, licks and solos. All supported by a tight rhythm
section of Tommy Hull bass and Simon Small drums. Their new
album "From The Basement" is like a shot of adrenaline. Their
steaming mix of alt-rock, classic punk, garage rock, rhythm &
blues and rock & roll is reminiscent of The Black Keys and The
Strypes but also influences from 60's / 70's Stones, The Stooges
and Dr Feelgood are clearly audible". |
