LAURIE WRIGHT (uk)
London based Laurie Wright is a guitar driven, rock n roll juggernaut who has quickly scaled the heights of the live music scene over the last few years. Since 2020, Laurie’s band started busking in Camden and sold out the Camden Underworld with the release of their first album, “Get On The End Of It” in 2023.
More and more people got to know Laurie as a creator of songs that are both powerful and emotive with a strong sense of storytelling, reminiscent of his big musical influences, The Kinks and The Small Faces.
A sold-out regional tour across the UK, support slots with The Rifles and the Libertines and legendary full band busking sessions on the busy streets of Camden Town and around London sharpened their live performance, while the release of the band’s sophomore album “We’re Only Warming Up” led to an electrifying sell-out gig at Scala in Kings Cross, performing to a raucous capacity crowd of 800, and a 14 date sell-out European tour, brought 2024 to a triumphant close. With the release of “Power of 3” at the end of 2025, next year promises to be an even bigger year for Laurie and the band!
Peter Doherty: ‘Laurie Wright is a natural born performer, like Steve Marriott.’
Carl Barat: ‘Laurie Wright is the next big thing.’
Rod Stewart: ‘A breath of fresh air.’
Liam Gallagher: ‘I’ve heard him, I like him.’
THE SPANKS
Legendary punky garage rock'n'roll from Merchtem that celebrated their revival on the King Koen Tribute concert in 2022. Lost brothers Rik Tielemans and Peter ‘Willy’ Annaert were replaced by Mike Du Bois (Sunpower) on vocals and Willy Douterloigne on bass. Under impulse of these "youngsters", the band seems sharper, edgier and more eager to tear down any stage, be it a small underground venue, or a huge festival/club stage. The Spanks are Back From The Grave and ready to rock!
KETTERS
Seems Berlare is more than frogs, eels & ducks. From the depths of “De Donk” a brand new three headed rock ‘n roll monster has risen to the surface. Their upcoming EP “NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE”, is filled with garage/punkrock bangers, making KETTERS the perfect warm-up for Spanks & Laurie Wright in style!
