Beechwood were an acoustic duo formed in 2004, originally Niv and Chris were going to call themselves, The Chumleys and go out performing comical songs. This never really progressed because they'd got into a more serious side of writing.
Whilst gigging at local pubs and folk clubs around the Midlands they were getting comments from people on how good the music was and how great it would sound with a full line up, this got Niv and Chris thinking about the further posibilities of getting a band together.
Robin Crump a local singer/songwriter teamed up with them in January 2008, 6 months later Pete Taylor heard some songs by Beechwood and liked what he heard and joined, although a blues bass player he's fitted in with the folky type music of the band.
Pete Lovatt came along a month later and even though he's come from a rock/metal playing background as fitted in nicely with the Beechwood sound.
The band is now complete and playing a mixture of folk/rock/pop and anything else they can throw in the mixing bowl of music.
You could call it frock music!!!

“Dude, where’s my car?” It’s a given with these chirpy rockers, Beechwood, that you WILL feel the wind through your hair like that of a ride through the open roads of the U.S of A. Take the magic numbers indescribable charm and throw them way back into the 60’s. Aided by bouncy drummer Pete, the inevitable foot-tapping qualities of this band have reassured me that a blast from the past is most certainly something to cherish and is certain to hold a good night out as these guys show that experience is an advantage with some convincing abundance; notably the skilful guitar that could most certainly marry the groovy, stomping bass if this were to be legalised. There is no avoiding the 20th century influence, whether you are a fan of the beach boys or the Beatles.
To the crowds delight this is a refreshing listen for a Friday night in an age of chart clogging power chords. Furthermore the harmonic 3 piece vocals could dazzle any modern music ear. “Beechwood” put on an honest performance which the audience revel in. There’s a clear sense that they are not pretending to be anything their not, which makes their guitar strings raise your face into an uncontrollable smile at seeing this band live, which obviously mirrors the happy go lucky entertainment taking place on stage.
MONOTONIX Saturday 28th November Nice n Sleazys, Glasgow
The release of their new album tops off a whirlwind year of touring, the infamy surrounding their charged live perfomances steadily mounting. Rightly so, check out this youtube link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmEHu-QAgNE&feature=related - and marvel at one of the typically unpredictable gigs of the band that Spin have declared the "most exciting live band in rock'n'roll."

KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES Sun 4th Oct @ Stereo, Glasgow
We have just added ##THE BLACK RAT DEATH SQUAD## to the bill
Support comes from Jack of Hearts Uncle Big Bad
"Fusing the driving stomps of classic sixties soul with the muddy yet crunchy guitars and puerile words of garage rock, King Khan & The Shrines are one of those uncommon groups who seem to live in the past and still make an attention-grabbing noise. The Supreme Genius is a retrospective of their work this century from initial 45s through to the cleaner more sophisticated efforts of their last proper album, What Is?!. Soul is certainly a key ingredient in the Shrine's psychedelic stew, though purists would balk at describing the end product as one of their own ('filthy racket' being the likely response). Fans of the 'rock 'n' soul' pedigree stretching from the Kingsmen to The Make Up and The Black Lips, however, should be more accepting, as will anyone who likes their music loud and raucous" BBC Music
