STONEPIG

Stonepig (stonepig!) are a rock covers band from Andover, the hub of British music. Four very talented musicians and a big lad who can sing a bit, they have been going for ten+ years gigging in and around Hampshire with their own special mixture of rock and not-so- rock covers, not playing the same as everyone else, but still playing songs that will get you up and jumping around, dusting off old memories of when you were cool and music was good, reviving old classics and making them just that little bit more special, and banging out the best rocking tunes around now, and at the same time having a bit of a giggle - coz thats what its all about isnt it really?

THE CORSAIRS

The Corsairs are one of those bands that have been entertaining venues up and down the country for the last 30 years. They are still as fresh today as day one, holding their own by playing covers of all those favourite Ska and Punk classics we all love, but with their own added psychobilly twist and performing each classic song at 200mph! You have to be at a Corsairs gig to fully understand that The Corsairs bring a whole new meaning to the saying “Loud and Proud”.

The driving force behind The Corsairs is to perform live music and make people happy and the band give nothing but 150%. It doesn’t matter how many Corsairs gigs you go to each one is different, so crank up the volume and enjoy one of the hardest working, loudest and proudest bands out there!

THE GREEN EMBERS

Bugbear Promotions describe them as: "A soulful indie rock of an Elbow bent with U2 widescreen atmospherics... godly mcpudly... hence Ms Lauren Laverne is all over em like a rash (well, she likes 'em)." - and we quite like that!

The Green Embers are an established original rock band playing in and around Basingstoke, Winchester, Reading, Southampton and London.

​

The band plays original songs which are a mix of hard and soft, from ballads to heavy rock.

UNDER THE COVERS

​

The term “Supergroup” is much maligned, and with good reason, as most of them are rubbish. Under the Covers are no exception. Critics call them "A London-based five piece cover band who play their own upbeat take on indie, rock and pop classics from the 60s to today". The cool kids don't listen to critics, they don't listen to Under The Covers either.. Get down the front and get your groove on. No cool kids in sight..

AleX

​

Drawing inspiration from his musical heroes Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney and Jeff Buckley, AleX is taking his first big steps into the solo music scene.

​

After being the lead vocalist of a well-known Hampshire based band for over 10 years, AleX is no stranger to lending his voice to a wide array of styles and genres - specialising primarily in melodic rock. 

While performing at venues all over the U.K that include the likes of, 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, The Wedgewood Rooms and Dingwalls (Camden), he also has a wealth of experience supporting some of the industry’s most notable names such as, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Hoosiers and Ash.

​

AleX’s musical talents can be seen in as much his penmanship as his vocal performances. His adept and passionate song writing draws inspiration from past life experiences and will take any opportunity to put pen to paper to write his next song.

AleX will be bringing his new single to listeners in the near future, with producer and close friend, Brian Wheat of the band Tesla and Owner of J Street Entertainment
