With a Little Help From My Friends – Matt Long Tribute Album Launch Party!

Brave Rival are the South East’s rip-roaring rock and blues machine. Hailing from Portsmouth, the UK Blues Award Nominated band features the powerful and beautiful twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick. On lead guitar, providing dramatic guitar solos and crunching rock riffs is Ed “The Shred” Clarke. And holding it all together is the rhythmic backbone, the self-proclaimed engine room of Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums). Drawing influence from the likes of John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Tedeschi Trucks, Brave Rival offer a style and sound that you’ve always known, and yet never heard before.

Formed in Gillingham in 2020, The Zac Schulze Gang have been storming the south-east scene playing awesome rock & blues from 60s & 70s.

Will Wilde is a force to be reckoned with - a phenomenal harmonica player with a voice to match. Will's intense harmonica style steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson. Will gained popularity on Youtube with his mind blowing harmonica covers of classic rock guitar solos, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird, which racked up over 3.5 million views, and helped him gain his 96K+ subscribers. These videos brought him to the attention of blues rock guitar legend Walter Trout, who invited him to play on his album 'Broken', which went to number one on the Billboard Blues Album Chart. To return the favour, Walter played guitar on the title track

Greg has his own special, fiery, impassioned brand of rhythm and blues, putting his own stamp on the music of the greats who inspire him - Ray Charles, Steve Winwood, Booker T, Taj Mahal, Steely Dan, Little Feat, and more. Greg breathes new life into what is often considered Vintage music, reminding people of all ages of why this music once dominated the world. " "His style is rhythmic, fluid and above all, very exciting" - Classic Rock presents the Blues Magazine "If you think you have heard everything, then think again – The Greg Coulson Band are so cool my Goosebumps had Goosebumps” - Blog Of The Blues “The Best Band I’ve seen in ages!” - Mickey Gallagher (The Blockheads) "The Crazy and exciting Organ solos of Greg Coulson" - Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio 6 Music "Greg Coulson is a hyperactive example of the ability of the blues to grab new generations with it's indefinable magic. Definitely one to watch!" - Classic Rock Presents The Blues Magazine
