band

If energy, talent and passion could be measured in gold, Fearne would be millionaires. The Bournemouth foursome, Alex Beds (vocal and acoustic guitar), Adam Pulfer (vocals and electric guitar), Nick Bryson (vocals, bass and synths) and Darren Barret (drums) are taking indie pop/rock to a whole new level and winning an army of fans in the process. With exceptional live performances it’s no wonder they have been on the road supporting artists such as Feeder, Athlete, Nizlopi, Stornoway and Diana Vickers. 2009 saw a busy year of touring culminating in their playing to 10,000 people and gaining many new fans with several sessions for BBC Radio Solent. Now with a new 6 track self-titled EP, 2010 is set to see them reach even greater heights.

Principal songwriter of the band, Alex Beds, has the voice and the lyrics to simultaneously charm you and break your heart. But don’t be fooled by his quiet assurance and unassuming persona, this man is a born entertainer and can whip up a crowd to fever pitch within seconds of stepping out onto the stage. The rhythm section of Fearne is key to their sound. Nick Bryson’s driving bass lines inject electric energy and funky overtones to deliver an exciting, multi-layered, complex sound. With Adam Pulfer’s searing lead guitar and Darren Barret’s throbbing drum section Fearne conjure up sonorous perfection. With influences from Damien Rice to Marty McFly, the Fearne boys’ eclecticism is charming.

Fearne’s magic lies in mixing the recognised Brighton sound with the heartfelt, weighty delivery emblematic of romantic Bournemouth. Further add a measure of dry wit with a good dose of eccentricity and you have a recipe for success. If you like your indie pop/rock energetic, your band members passionate and your performances polished to perfection, then look no further

Ignite the Night are a 3 piece rock band from Bournemouth, that have been together for just over a year and gigging locally in venues such as the Winchester, The cellar bar, Champions, the iBar and local music festivals.

They have produced their own 9 track album and at the end of last year worked with producer Jamie to produce a new EP.

Ignite the Night has been reviewed as:
"This is an impressive band. Their songs contain catchy hooks and full-throated vocals composed of strong, simple melodies, set against a thunderous rhythmic background. The versatility of lead singer (Andi Norton.) is evident throughout, from the fierce delivery of 'Only what you want' to the fragility of their song 'Won my Heart'. There is impressive variation across their set; Won my Heart is a fine piece of progressive rock, while Change is gothic and despairing. The funky Over and Out is a highlight, as is a red-blooded cover of Britney Spears’ Toxic. Overall this band show great promise for the future." - Dan Bone

Ignite the Night, is looking to promote themselves beyond Bournemouth in this coming year and start playing larger venues.

The four members of Gehko, Rich Mead, Stewart Melvin, Dave Rudge and Rich Kelly, sat at the beach hut they had often sat. It was the essence of what they saw that day which captivated and inspired their musical motivation; happy day’s, lazying in the sun, watching the beautiful nature of the sea and people alike, eclipsing the dark days of the autumn and winter months. With similar aspirations and musical taste they strove to deliver music which epitomized this feeling; creating waves of feel good music to the masses.. Ladies, gents and fellow geckos.. Tis the year of the gehko!!
