The bands sound is shaped by their love of diverse genres, both personally and within the band line-up. Their driving rock sound is very similar to that of classic American R&B based bands such as Georgia Satellites and ZZ Top, blended with the precision and musicianship of highly influential bands such as Mr. Big and Steve Vai. |

Stretchneck are a Rock and Roll band with strong American rock and blues influences. Names like Johnny and Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, Leslie West, Montrose, Boston, and of course, Van Halen, all spring to mind. But lets not forget our own 'greats', like The Who, Stones, Small Faces and of course Gary Moore. They're all here in our music. In fact it was the sheer aggression of a certain Mr Pete Townshend that steered me personally away from the soppy pop of the late sixties. |

Loose Endz |
A jazz singer, a rock guitarist and a classically trained flautist formed Loose Endz after a joint performance in a church, of all places, back in 2002.
With this strange combination they produce music of outstanding quality and emotion, and their repertoire ranges from all areas of the musical spectrum.
They were inspired and greatly influenced by the music of Eva Cassidy, and perform many of her covers from the simple Fields of Gold to the bluesy Stormy Monday.
Recreating classic rock songs such as Stairway to Heaven/Led Zeppelin and Little Wing/Hendrix, the band offer unique interpretations in a style never heard before.
The band later extended in 2006 with the introduction of a bass guitar, this gave the sound a lot more depth enabling them to experiment with various new material.
Now adding the finishing touches they have included drums to create a complete full sound and the chance to branch out into other areas of music.
The band consists of: Carole Westwood – vocals, percussion, Chris Woodley – acoustic and electric guitar, Annie Rees-Jones – flute, vocals, percussion, Doug McKendrick – bass, vocals; and Ian Hart - drums
They currently perform in pubs and restaurants in and around the Midlands area and are in the process of writing their own material in preparation for a new cd. The original trio recorded their first cd called “Raw”in 2003, as a result of which they performed a live acoustic session on BBC Radio WM in March 2005.
They supported Linda Lewis when she appeared at the Robin 2 Club in Wolverhampton in 2006 and also the Steve Gibbons Band later the same year, from which there is a live recording on cd. |

He's made 3 solo albums The Rothko Room (1992), From The Edge To The Weir (1994) and D Samba (2002). The first two are "song albums" but D Samba features instrumental composition for the acoustic guitar and whilst the earlier works are fundamentally in a rock genre the new album is moving into jazz and latin territory.
Howard is working on a new album at present and two rough mix tracks from the album, called 'Looking At Now Through Then' which can be heard on the myspace page. He is also releasing the radio-single for you to hear. It is called The Undertow. |

"The unique combination of various musical styles makes it difficult to pigeon-hole The Jelly Royale. They offer a mix of drum and bass-led funk, hip hop, reggae and punk with a bit of blues guitar thrown in, which is then moulded into their own individual jelly style. The lead vocals are stunningly distinctive and harmony-based backing provides further intrigue." |

Acoustic guitar and vocals with harmonies, backed up by bass and gentle drums, playing a kind of alternative singer-songwriter fayre. A bit folky, a bit jazzy, lots of great fingerpicking, and a fun vibe.
We recently played the Ironworks in Oswestry and the Greenwood Centre in Coalbrookdale. We've got some friends in Bridgnorth and are hoping to raise our profile in the area. Robert did a solo slot at the Cinnamon Cafe last November. |
