Riff Reign
Riff
Reign is a Worksop UK recording band, established in
2014 to develop and record songs written by Dave
Wright.
Original members were James Bennett (keyboards &
hand percussion), Pete Courcey (drums & vocals),
Richard Nettleship (guitars & vocals) and Dave
Wright (acoustic guitar and bass guitar).
Following Pete’s and Richard’s departure, Dave and
James were joined by Richard Hall (drums & backing
vocals), Linda Lawrence (vocals), Chris Pearson
(guitars & vocals), Russ Parsons (vocals) and Steve
Roe (vocals).
Musical styles include Americana, blues, country,
funk, jazz, pop, rock and retro rock ‘n’ roll, plus
the band’s own indie style. Much of the music has a
USA influence - in 1963 Dave’s eventual wife, Gwen,
joined the Beatles Fan Club and got herself a New
York pen friend, Danielle. Their friendship, which
continues to this day, has led to extensive travels
through the USA and Canada.
The band has released four albums plus a Christmas
single. All are available as CD or digital download
at riffreign.bandcamp.com. A blues EP will be out
in early 2018 followed by the band’s fifth and sixth
albums before 2018 is out.
Band members have recently joined Dave in song
writing. Chris wrote the lyrics to Soulless Man,
which will be on the band’s forthcoming blues EP,
Catfish Stew. Linda penned the lyrics to Beautiful
Bird, which will be on the next album, First Leaves
Fallin’.
Chris, James and Richard have to a great extent a
free role in developing guitar, keyboards and drums.
Dave currently spends a lot of time working with
Linda on her ideas for variation of melody and
lyrics where improvement can be brought about.
The band has been joined by other musicians on some
recordings. Keith Martin played mandolin and
melodeon on Down To The Town; Harmonica Dave Hunt
played on Catfish Stew, Lazy Summer Sunday and Night
Train; Colin Wilson played 12-string acoustic guitar
on John Wells and Outlaw. Future collaborations are
planned.
Album: Night
Train (2017)

Faith
& Harry
After the success of Siblings Faith & Harrys Christmas cover 'Last
Christmas' which was played across indie radio stations all over the
world in 2017. The duo are releasing March 12 th 2018 at just 13 &
11, their first original single aptly called My BFFs and Me. Faith
penned the song when she was just 12; it's a catchy pop song that
the young songstress wrote using the talents of co-writing duo Pete
Spicer & Tony Slaven from the UK to help create the song. Faith has
been writing lyrics since she was 9 but this was the first one she
really felt was ready for her and brother Harry's social media fans,
which stands at more than 125,000 Rowanetts (the name their fans
call themselves) on FaceBook.
The pop song really came together in the studio with the skills of
their seasoned producer Phillip Cope. He carefully wound the
instruments around Faiths vocals.
Brother Harry let Faith take the lead with this song, as it was her
idea from inception and his love for all things keys kept him busy
in the studio. Faith & Harry also write together and have developed
a close songwriting relationship in recent months which fans will
see on the Album, to be released later in the year.
The duo are multi-instrumentalists performing on four instruments
each, violin, piano, guitar and recently Harry added drums to his
music lessons while Faith is having fun with the ukulele. The
British-Americans will be performing in Music festivals across the
US and UK this summer, their surely rising stars with unlimited
talent..
