They are Jon Newton on Drums, Mollie Taylor on Sax, Luke Brownbridge on Bass and samples, and Oliver R Tones on Guitar and Vocals. Oliver R Tones has written all the songs so far, drawing from a number of years worth of home demos. The four of them have been playing together for just over a year.

Having performed at Fibbers, Certificate 18, The Junction, and the Basement Bar at City Screen in York, The Cardigan Arms in Leeds, and the Riccall Regen Centre whose Battle of the Bands they won in April 2006.

The Moor Music Festival





May 25 2007 10:55 PM

Greetings Moorfesters,

Hope the sun is shining where you are today and the taste of summer is firmly on your palette.

The Moor Music Festival 2007 lineup is now ready for your perusal in our blog and it's a cracker with some fresh new bands and artists playing such as UNDERGROUND HEROES, I WAS A CUB SCOUT and MIDDLEMAN who are all causing waves on the scene at the moment.

On the dance stage acts such as CRAZY P, AUDIOJACK, SHAKES, MICHAEL MORPH, MR BEASLEY and STEPPA will make sure that you don't stop moving all night long until the SILENT DISCO kicks in where we have a field of revellers going for it until 6am but farmers nearby won't be able to hear a thing!!

All eyes and ears will undoubtedly be tuned to SAM RILEY'S band 10,000 THINGS as they perform for the first time after him taking time out to star in the IAN CURTIS film 'CONTROL' which also co-stars SAMANTHA MORTON and tells the story of the life of the JOY DIVISION front man. It has recently taken the Cannes Film Festival by storm and so this exclusive performance will be a guaranteed way to finish the festival on a high!

HOWARD MARKS will also be there talking about his marijuana exploits and will be sure to ease everyone into Sunday morning.

Fingers crossed we get the weather!

Much love,

Moor Music Festival
Mamzelle
