The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Tuesday 30th January 2018
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Heyzeus
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.

Peter Taylor
Recently to be found playing in and around T. Wells as frontman with The Harveys, this is Peter’s first ever solo venture.
His previous bands include SW3, Sweetheart, Transformer, Citron, The Red Guitars and The Flagmen.
The solo show will draw from all these previous bands as well as new unheard material.
With genre influences from folk, country, punk and pop the song is always key.
Peter is currently putting a new band together to back this project.
Ellie Wade
I am a budding singer-songwriter from Tunbridge Wells with a great love for music of all genres. My music is predominantly acoustic, with a few folky elements thrown in here and there!
When I was 14, I asked for (and received) a guitar for Christmas. I started teaching myself on Boxing Day that year!! I must admit, writing music started off as a very personal sideline for me; a way to express emotions; I never felt the need to show anyone what I'd written.
Now I look forward to showing the public my music and knowing that they enjoy it, and even relate to it. Music has always been one of my greatest passions and, as I'm sure for many others, it's something that will always be a part of my life.
My main inspirations are Adele, Gabrielle Aplin, Passenger, Bob Dylan, Kate Nash and many more singer songwriters!
Gronk
Raised by pack animals in the south, Gronk was subsequently stationed in the Home Counties where he studied for A-Levels in navelgazing before escaping to London. He found moderate success with gothic psych-rock band Carnival of Souls in the early noughties, before meeting near-indifference at a handful of solo gigs in Brixton. A trip to the US followed, during which he discovered the marimba and returned to form the Body Doubles, a shambolic rock 'n' roll act currently limping around London's sawdust venues. Gronk writes folk and rock songs bolstered by a healthy dose of gallows humour, and appears tonight with Body Doubles lead guitarist Claud "the musket" Musker.
