The Wildflowers

Thyme At The Tavern, Chertsey FRI  26 MARCH   8.30pm - 11pm

Acoustic Cover Plus Original Material

The Wildflowers are a dynamic acoustic singing duo comprising of singer-songwriters Gloria Garcia and Odette Michell.

Gaining rave reviews and positive acclaim for their accomplished live performances, The Wildflowers have been performing together for over four years with their unique take on a well known song, great songwriting of their own, and a repertoire that literally runs into the hundreds.

The Wildflowers know how to create that "big" sound ideal for Friday or Saturday night entertainment or even a toned down weekday set. Their stunning acoustic take on the songs they choose is marked by their remarkable two-part vocal harmonies and accomplished guitar and piano work.

It's also worth noting that the girls prefer to keep their sound 'live'... so you won't find any backing tracks or pre-recorded material at one of their nights - what you see and hear is pure live acoustic entertainment with more than a splash of sophistication. Experience an evening of spellbindingly good music – this is pure acoustic entertainment at its sweetest and best.

Also: Live every Sunday @ The Old Ticket Hall, Windsor

Gentlemen Of Distorted Sound


Mar 21 2010      8:00P
    The Hobgoblin     Staines

Back in the day a classic rock band was judged on good songs, good musicianship, good showmanship and a willingness to try new ideas – in other words to not be too predictable! It was these core values that brought original band members Gareth Nugent (vocals), Mako (guitar), Lawrence Santi (bass) and Russell Gilbrook (drums) together to form Gentlemen Of Distorted Sound in 2006.

With influences ranging from 70’s classic rock to the 90’s grunge explosion the band set about honing their sound and writing songs.

Over the following months the band, based in the home counties of Southern England, took shape around their powerhouse rhythm section
who, despite their very different musical influences were able to blend together and create a huge grooving sound. Add to this Mako’s subtle guitar melodies and searing riffs, delivered in his fluid, almost languid style and Gareth’s supersonic vocals and the sound they were striving for was complete.

The intensity of rehearsals and songwriting gave way to playing live as the band took their distinctive brand of “groove-laden hard rock” out on the road. Playing gigs and festivals throughout the UK, France and Scandinavia they built a cult following, impressing rock fans everywhere with their
individual style and memorable shows. Along the way drummer Russell Gilbrook was replaced by Richard Fordham.

For those who like: Aerosmith, Rage Against the Machine, Living Colour
or Smashing Pumpkins
