Since being formed by brothers Andrew & Jamie Pipe in late 2008, award winning British rock band The Mentulls have carved out a niche for themselves on the international rock scene. Hailing from the north east of England, an area well known for producing legendary artists like Paul Rodgers, David Coverdale, Chris Rea, The Animals and Sting, who have all made major impacts on the world of rock music, The Mentulls carry on that great tradition of original classic rock music in a new eclectic way

With music critics calling them “a band to watch now and for years to come”, “so talented, so good” and “the future of prog rock” the band have earned a reputation for blending original, emotive, bluesy classic rock with progressive rock instrumentality played with gusto and energy.

Bristol based band, Little Geneva, formed on the eve before 2019. They are a band brought together by a shared appreciation for the British blues boom of the mid-1960s. Little Geneva was conceived during a conversation between two brothers. Both felt a strong need to get back to the stage, to be part of a truly great live band. Once the seed was sown, recruiting additional members was not a problem. Chris and Dave knew exactly who to ask.

Little Geneva consists of five extremely experienced and seasoned musicians/performers. Rags Russell, 34, (vocals/harmonica) fronts the youthful and energetic band with his extremely emotive and soulful vocal style. Rags brings a style of singing well appreciated by audiences all over the world. The rhythm section brings together Zak Ranyard, 27, (Bass guitar) and Simon Small, 33, (Drums). Zak and Simon ensure that a high level of energy and power never leaves the band, even during the more dynamic phases of Little Geneva’s show. Chris, 32, and Dave Doherty, 36, are both gifted guitarists, holding players such as B.B King, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton in high regard.

As individuals, Little Geneva members have opened shows for Ray Davies (The Kinks) ,John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Mud Morganfield and Lynyrd Skynyrd. They have also shared festival bills with The Red Devils, Jimmie Vaughan, The Hoax, B.B King, as well as many others.
It is the band’s deep respect and knowledge of what made those early British blues recordings so energised, and exhilarating, coupled with the soulful spirit with which all members express themselves, that will make Little Geneva one of the new must-see bands of 2019.
Having just recorded a live 5-track EP, the band is set to record their first album.
