Many of these influences filtered down to Joe who is playing anything from traditional British folk music to Delta blues slide guitar. Joe’s obvious talents have also been seized upon by folk/rock legend Ashley Hutchings who in December 2007 asked him to join his band, “The Rainbow Chasers” alongside Ruth Angell and Jo Hamilton.

Tall Stories are a three-piece techno rock band who formed in late 2009 from the ashes of an unknown novelty skiffle act. They soon began gigging in and around Camden, and did not rise quickly to local prominence with their light-hearted songs about bigotry and nuclear fallout. Their debut EP was not released the following spring on some trendy label, and it didn’t earn them an unprecedented 5.5 stars in the NME. Controversy struck the band in 2011 when the body of a dead prostitute was found in Scott Vining’s swimming pool with a gunshot wound to the face. But don’t take their word for it, here’s what others are saying: “Brutally honest…” – Spoonfed “Who?” – Steve Lamacq facebook.com/tallstorieslondon The Damn Jammage are an explosive 6 piece blues folk collective fronted by the bitter sweet sound of heart-melting/bone-shattering baritone Danny Rapscallion and duetting vocalist and pianist Jasmine Cave.

Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, and renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has chipped away at the rock and roll stone over the past couple of decades, and now, this Juno nominated, CFMA nominated, four time WCMA award winner, has done it again. “Romi Mayes is something else. She writes great songs and she’s got a great voice, but you should see her try to outrun a train. I think I had more fun on tour with Romi Mayes than I’ve ever had in my life.” Gurf Morlix, producer, musician “Music from the heart and soul, Romi Mayes makes it look easy.” – Bob Harris, BBC

Terrorvision were born in 1988 out of the remnants of a glam rock mess called Spoilt Brats, an amalgamation of art school buddies Mark Yates and Leigh Marklew, drumming loon Shutty and long-haired urchin Tony Wright. After three years of gigs and demos they were signed in 1991 to EMI Records on the strength of Pump Action Sunshine, a demo which featured what was to become their first Top-30 hit, My House.Incessant touring – including support slots with long-time heroes, The Ramones and Motorhead, backed up positive reviews of their debut album Formaldehyde. They broke off the European leg of the Motorhead tour to open the show at Def Leppards’ homecoming Sheffield Don Valley stadium gig in front of 40,000. The night before they played an impromptu gig in front of 100 at a pub just down the road – At the end of 1993 they decamped to New York City to record their second, breakthrough record How to make friends and influence people with alt-rock uber-producer, Gil Nor! ton. The album went on to spawn five top-30 singles during 1994, catapulting the band into the mainstream. Appearances at both Donington Monsters of Rock and Reading cemented their reputation as the default festival bands of the 90′s. Kerrang awards followed (then lost in a drunken haze) and their most successful year wound up supporting Therapy all across Europe.More awards followed in ’95 from Kerrang and Raw magazines, and the band took a left turn, supporting REM at a UK stadium gig and donating a track to the world famous Help album, for the Warchild organisation. All the while plans were being hatched for album number three,Regular Urban Survivors.Released in 1996, the album notched up four more Top-30 singles, including Perseverance, which debuted at number 5 on the UK charts. The album swiftly went Gold. Celebrating their success, tequila-fuelled, in Madrid whilst on another European jaunt, Tony smashed both his ankles trying to scale the walls of the Hard Rock caf&! eacute; to rearrange its famous logo. Gigs were curtailed only briefly , ideas for new songs were hatched and then the band was back out on the road, taking in Glastonbury and Reading in 1997.Their fourth album for EMI, Shaving Peaches, saw the band take another left turn, working with four different producers, including Edwyn Collins and the Utah Saints. Acid, Speed and Scrumpy-fuelled mixing sessions in deepest Cornwall resulted in the sprawling 15-song set, which gained mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. EMI wanted out, but delayed the axe when Zoe Ball began playing a remix of theShaving Peaches track, Tequila (remember the Hard Rock café?) incessantly on her Radio 1 Breakfast show. Eager not to miss an opportunity, EMI rush-released the track, the band organised a last minute video shoot at (where else?) a Tequila bar in Camden Town and 1999 arrived with the band sitting at number 2 in the UK charts.The fall out with EMI wouldn’t go away though and the band were dropped before storming Reading / Leeds festivals as an unsigne! d act in the summer of ’99. Party of over, fuck you over there, as they say’ A new deal (with Papillon Records) was done in 2000 and the band released what was to be their last album for ten years in 2001. Good to Go gave them another Top-30 hit,D’ya wanna go faster and the Neil McClellan (Prodigy) produced album was generally received as a storming return to form. Alas, ten years of touring, excesses, abscesses and successes saw the band knock it on the head, bowing out with a sold-out farewell tour.Mark, Tony and Leigh threw themselves into other musical projects (Laika Dog, Malibu Stacey, Blunderbuss, Broken Hearts Club band) as well as dry-stone wall building, painting, graphic design and opening a tattoo studio. The joy that is Terrorvision was never far away though, and the boys reunited in 2005, then again in 2007 and every year since to play gigs, hang out and get trashed. In 2009 they celebrated the 15th anniversary of their seminal How to make friends and influence people album with a sold out tour playing the entire album in order and in i! ts entirety!That nostalgia fest was enough, though, and a decision was made to start writing new material again. Drummer Shutty didn’t make it along for this ride however, and was replaced after 20 glorious years on the throne by Cam Greenwood for the writing and recording of the first new album in ten years, Super Delux. he remnants of a glam rock mess called Spoilt Brats, an amalgamation of art school buddies Mark Yates and Leigh Marklew, drumming loon Shutty and long-haired urchin Tony Wright.

Alas, ten years of touring, excesses, abscesses and successes saw the band knock it on the head, bowing out with a sold-out farewell tour.Mark, Tony and Leigh threw themselves into other musical projects (Laika Dog, Malibu Stacey, Blunderbuss, Broken Hearts Club band) as well as dry-stone wall building, painting, graphic design and opening a tattoo studio. The joy that is Terrorvision was never far away though, and the boys reunited in 2005, then again in 2007 and every year since to play gigs, hang out and get trashed. In 2009 they celebrated the 15th anniversary of their seminal How to make friends and influence people album with a sold out tour playing the entire album in order and in i! ts entirety!That nostalgia fest was enough, though, and a decision was made to start writing new material again. Drummer Shutty didn’t make it along for this ride however, and was replaced after 20 glorious years on the throne by Cam Greenwood for the writing and recording of the first new album in ten years, Super Delux.
