The Breaks are Herefordshire’s most vibrant band, a collective of musicians, all hailing from within ten miles of one another in the ‘Wild West’ of Hereford HR2. The Breaks are a band on fire with a mission to build community and inspire action for positive change through the energy and vibes of their self-described “anarcho-soul”.

Playing in various combinations, with sometimes as many as 10 musicians on stage - horns, multiple vocalists - The Breaks conjure up a potent brew of jazz-infused hip-hop and funk that draws on influences as diverse as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Fugazi, Wu-Tang Clan, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock, Ganja Krew, Minor Threat and Azalea Banks. Through the urgency of tracks such as Border Soil and Fire in the Forecourt (now available on all streaming platforms), The Breaks have been kicking out the jams and cutting a blaze across the county, lifting audiences and carrying them along as they forge ever forwards.

Transition, Community, Growing Local and the Abolition of Oppression are the pillars of The Breaks’ manifesto. "No pasarán” / ”they shall not pass” is their clarion call, joining them down the decades with the anti-fascists of the Spanish Civil War, raised fists aloft.

 Last year’s album Disneyland in Dagenham was full of Essex, East End poetry, and classic English post punk. Following extensive touring including many sold-out shows, Scott is back with another album entitled, Cars, Buses,Bedsits and Shops out 22nd August on Nothing Fancy. An album bursting with more dark humour,snapshots of squalor and cheek, and Scott’s unique love songs. Lavene has also announced a 22 date tour around the UK as well as festival appearances at this year’s Glastonbury, End of the Road, Lakefest and Boia festivals.
Produced by Stew Jackson, who’s worked with Massive Attack, Black Crowes, Tom Waits and Nick Cave,the record shines with Scott’s presence, alongside Ryan Rogers of Mumble Tide, co-producing and playing organs, synths and mellotron. The album came together quickly, in a five-day wonder, in Bristol, September 2024. Scott’s longer story-based songs have taken a backseat on this record with more singing than before and a higher percentage of ballads, sincere, wistful and tender. They evoke the lyrics and feelings set down by Daniel Johnston and The Magnetic Fields, Evan Dando and the immense David Berman. But a few ratty stories still remain.

Once upon a time, he’d have found a home on Stiff Records, alongside Ian Dury and Wreckless Eric, even Jona Lewie, and he’d have become a national treasure: he really is a very good writer, with an eye for the telling detail Spectator

“Bonkers sing-alongs about eating custard, weird reimaginings of geezer-down the pub anecdotes,nostalgic vignettes, and even the occasional love song in disguise. Sometimes spoken, sometimes sung, he retains hooks, even when surveying the most curious terrain.” Artsdesk

As the singer in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s The Sky At Night, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s Let It All In, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014.

The stunning 2023 sophomore solo album, The Light Fantastic was an almost complete u-turn from the I Am Kloot outlook they were known for.The album received unanimous praise from the UK press but it is the all-encapsulating live show where Bramwell conjures up his true magic as songwriter and performer. Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from Kloot and in the last three years has visited almost every parish in England, Scotland and Wales to be met with halls, theatres, arts centres, churches, festival tents and folk clubs full with his eager fans waiting to see which direction Bramwell will take the mood of the night – the enriched, wildly playful inter-song banter is so good, a stand up comedy tour has been contemplated.

‘This is hazy music, with purpose, and very pretty with it.’ –  The Times

Supoport from Ben de la Cour

“A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole-in-the-wall in Nashville. It didn’t take long to realize I was in the presence of greatness. He has much to say, and knows how to say it as only a true poet can. You owe it to yourself to check him out. He is important. You need this bright young talent now more than ever. We all need Ben de la Cour.” – Lucinda Williams
  A natural storyteller, Ben de la Cour’s visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature “Americanoir” sound, de la Cour shines a glaring light on the human condition.
