Headline Act: Heyzeus (full band acoustic)

click to enlarge

Heyzeus is an Alternative Rock group, from the UK. The duo is comprised of singer/songwriter and guitarist, Jamie Andrew, and partner Jessica-Louise on the drums/percussion. The pair met after Jessica, from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, saw Jamie on an ITV1 Saturday night TV show, and decided to track him down and travel the length of the country to meet him!

Catchy melodies and real feelings, delivered by some beautifully raw, and edgy rock vocals, sung over riffy guitar parts, make Heyzeus a group like no other of their time. The genre, described by Heyzeus himself, is known as 'Etheric Rock'.

Jamie Andrew has been busking all over the world for the past few years, as a solo musician, performing his songs on some of the worlds most famous streets. Continual exposure through busking has earned Heyzeus some credible gigs at venues such as 'Ibiza Rocks' & 'Hollywood Roosevelt' Hotels.

Ashley Evans

Ashley Evans is a singer-songwriter from Tunbridge Wells. He writes songs about events in everyday life which haunt, inspire and obsess him. With a talent for combining soulful themes with well-crafted melodies, his powerful vocals create memorable, emotive tunes.
 
His love for music started at an early age when he wore out his dad's original 'Sergeant Pepper's' LP. He attributes his distinctive melodic sound and thought provoking lyrics to a teenage bedroom immersed in the sounds of the biggest and best guitar bands of the 60's and of a well established love for Oasis, Stereophonics and Blur. More recent inspiration has sprung from listening to Doves, Ryan Adams and Ed Harcourt.
 
All of these musical signposts merge to form the backdrop for Ashley's music coupled with a fascination with love, mortality, people-watching and on occasion inspiration from Jack Daniels.

Emotive songstress, Jennifer Lee Ridley passionately uses influences of a Romantic folk nature to create poignant and touching music. She has studied in depth the poetic nature of song and has a strong affinity with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Keats and William Blake. More recently she has combined these influences with her own song-writing to create more modern fusions whilst carefully retaining the purity of the lyrical content. Her dark warm vocals combined with her individual folk sound mirrors the poetic lyrics which explore the many facets of emotions.

This has had a profound effect on her own songs which she continues to develop and enhance through working with other composers, musicians and writers locally and in London. She feels strongly that collaborating is an important part of growing and building an understanding of the nature and the impact of poetry and prose on music.

She is currently working on and arranging an album which she is hopes to bring out in 2014.
