Band Bios

The Feeling

Pop-rock quintet adored for their infectious, life-affirming music

Formed in 1995, The Feeling adopted their moniker from a small bar in Paris that they liked and thought was better suited for a band name.

Except for frontman and principal songwriter Dan Gillespie Sells, who comes from London, the five-piece’s members – bassist Richard Jones, drummer Paul Stewart, guitarist Kevin Jeremiah and his brother keyboardist Ciaran Jeremiah – all hail from Horsham in Sussex.

Their guitar-based soft rock sound has been compared to a range of acts including Supertramp, 10cc, Electric Light Orchestra, Queen and Elton John.

In 2006, The Feeling released their critically acclaimed debut album Twelve Stops And Home. Inspired by Gillespie Sells’ journey on the Piccadilly Line from Leicester Square to his home stop of Bounds Green, it was mostly self-recorded in the garden shed at the Jeremiah brothers’ parental home in Sussex. Five of songs quickly became hits – Fill My Little World, Never Be Lonely, Sewn, Love It When You Call and Rose – plus helped them win the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriters of the Year.

The Feeling’s second album, 2008’s Join With Us, continued their successful streak by reaching the No.1 spot on the UK albums chart. That summer the band made their first appearance at Glastonbury Festival playing the Pyramid Stage.

During the ’10s, they released three more top 50-charting albums: 2011’s Together We Were Made, 2013’s Boy Cried Wolf and 2016’s The Feeling.

Reef

In short there is some strange musical alchemy taking place as this is a band very much in the ascendancy . Yes the band have sold in excess of 3 million albums worldwide since forming in 1993 . Yes they have also had 9 UK Top 40 singles and 6 UK Top 40 albums as well as penning arguably one of the biggest rock songs of the 90’s with their Top 10 single Place Your Hands produced by legendary producer George Drakoulias.

With a reinvigorated line up which sees original Members Gary Stringer (Vocals) and Jack Bessant (Bass) joined by one of the UKs most highly revered drummers Luke Bullen (Bryan Ferry / Joe Strummer / K.T Tunstall) and also being further bolstered by the addition of North Devon virtuoso Guitarist Amy Newton the band have arguably never sounded so good.

Dodgy

Legends of the UK live scene, there’s not many festivals or indeed towns that these boys haven’t played in the 34 years they’ve been together. In that time, they have released five albums, sold over 2 million records, been streamed over 50 million times worldwide, and enjoyed 12 Top 40 singles, including the massive hit ‘Good Enough‘ – officially one of the most played tracks on British radio in the last 30 years.

Dodgy are a rare entity nowadays as the band still boast the original line up of Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller, which is a miracle considering the scrapes and conditions they have been in over their career but they are better and more energized than ever, which is partly down to some clever signings over the years to add depth and beauty to their squad, with Stu Thoy on bass and multi-instrumentalist, Graham Mann. And it’s this line up that is currently in the studio in Wales working on the highly anticipated follow up
to the critically acclaimed album What Are We Fighting For, that will be released in the Autumn of 2025.

Dodgy’s legacy as one of the standout British bands of the 1990s remains intact and have become a cherished part of British musical history

Arcane Moon

Arcane Moon are a new originals alt rock band from Essex. Influenced by bands like REM, Radiohead and The Police, Arcane Moon combines soulful melodies with a driving groove. Josh (Guitar / Vocals), Matt (Drums), Joe (Bass) and Scott (Keyboards / Vocals) deliver an dynamic and upbeat set with catchy riffs, rich harmonies and songs that’ll get you moving.
