LIVE MUSIC...
Leannán
Leannán is an accomplished acoustic duo, weaving intimate tales of enduring love, loss and life, into a gentle tapestry of stories to nourish the soul. Greater than the sum of their parts, Leannán takes songs that inspire them and well-crafted original compositions to impart a powerful musical intimacy.
The name Leannán, derived from the Gaelic word for beloved or lovers, is well chosen for the real-life couple Amy Gray and Stephen Jones, who definitely wear their heart on their musical sleeve. Their chemistry is palpable as they take listeners on a melodic journey through a range of eclectic genres. Inspired by a blend of singer songwriter, folk, Americana and country,
Leannán perfectly balances interwoven vocal harmonies with mesmerising acoustic guitar to create their own magical story that will leave you wanting more.
Electric Experience
Electric Experience, a dynamic 3-piece band hailing from the East Midlands, delivers a potent blend of solid rock covers and original tracks with a hard-hitting edge. With roots in England and a decade-long stint in Australia and New Zealand, where they graced major festivals and events like the Super Bikes Championship and Moto Grand Prix, Electric Experience brings a wealth of international experience to the stage.
Now back in England, they've welcomed the immensely talented young drummer, James, whose beats form the backbone of their sound. Infused with the free-spirited essence of rock legends like Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple, Electric Experience promises a professional yet exhilarating performance that's as enjoyable for them as it is for their audience.
Out of Karma
Out of Karma, comprised of Joseph, Ameer, Pascal, and Alexandra, weaves a rich tapestry of musical influences spanning India, Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands, and Europe. Their sound is a fusion of World, Jazz, Reggae, and Soul. Their debut single "Hero" garnered acclaim, landing them on the "Brown Punk" label founded by Tricky of Massive Attack and Chris Blackwell of Palm Pictures/Island Records. Notably, they were special guests of Jazzie B of Soul II Soul at Victoria Park London, captivating 80,000 fans. Their EP 'This Life' and subsequent singles like 'Gunshot' and 'Crazy Times' showcase their versatility and social consciousness. Their latest release, "Sliding Souls," became BBC's single of the week, resonating with audiences worldwide. With infectious grooves and soulful vocals drawing from diverse influences, Out of Karma promises an unforgettable musical journey.
The Luddites
The Luddites are a newly formed 5-piece covers band from Leicester, playing your favourite modern and retro rock/indie/pop hits. Expect energetic songs, tight vocal harmonies and a handful of searing guitar solos & pop surprises thrown in for good measure. From Queen, Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles to Blur, Arctic Monkeys and Billie Eilish, there's something for everyone!
