Blues Rockers GearJammer Now Available For Bookings

Introducing Leicester's Very Own Blues Rockers GearJammer

GearJammer perform as a traditional guitar based band, with the familiar line up of lead guitar/lead vocals, rhythm guitar/backing vocals, bass guitar/backing vocals, keyboard, saxophone and drums.  Rick, the lead guitarist, is also an excellent blues harp player

The band first formed in September 2017, but went through a number of personnel changes until the formation of the current line up early in 2020.

GearJammer’s style takes a more contemporary and up-beat approach to the blues, and comprises both covers and self penned work.  They cover contemporary blues songs from the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Eric Clapton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Kris Barras, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Samantha Fish, and Johnny Lang and many other blues/R&B/Jazz based influences. The band also continue to find and write new material to ensure their programme maintains a fresh and interesting appeal

GearJammer regularly perform at a mixture of venues, including festivals, pubs, and clubs, and have a busy schedule ahead for 2022, however, they are always keen to add more dates if the diary allows.  If you wish to know more, or book them for an event, please contact the band at…

FAY HIELD TRIO - Touring Dates March / April 2022

FAY HIELD TRIO - Touring Dates March / April 2022

Fay has teamed up once again with fiddle maestro Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron on concertina to tour songs from her new album, Wrackline, and some old favourites.

Exploring ideas of the space between, Wrackline was inspired by ghosts, fairies, spirits and talking animals to understand what it is about the unknown that entrances us. Working with traditional materials and ideas, Fay explores the feelings they evoke and how they relate to her experience in the contemporary world. Universal ideas of death, love, motherhood echo through time and space. Playing with these difficult ideas through the eyes of an unobtainable other, whether that be the spirit of a dearly departed, a fairy from another realm, or the thoughts animals have, gives us space to work through very real social problems.

Shifting between lighthearted stories about drunks sitting with pigs, to darker questions about infanticide, Fay breaths life and meaning into old stories presenting them with a fresh twist and consummate musicianship from Sweeney and Harbron including fiddle, concertina, guitar and banjo.

Expect to be enveloped in music, woven through magical stories and teased into thinking about your relationship with the world around you.
