We are excited to be able to again bring the uber-talented frontman of British Blues legends The Achievers, Steve Ferbrache, back to Swindon once again with his pals (it will be a bit of a squeeze!)
Steve Ferbrache (guitar & vocals) and Rufus Fry (Harmonica) are founding members of the award winning Blues/Roots band The Achievers, together at last doing a 'bit on the side'. Gritty Blues, Swinging Roots, Country, Gospel. Americana, Bluegrass and plenty more Folksy Gubbins. They'll be joined on double bass by Jack Thomas.
Saved from a route to ruin in his teens by the folk clubs of North Wales and later taken around the world by his award winning Americana/Roots band The Achievers, Steve Ferbrache has some stories to tell.
Poetically articulate songwriting and highly-accomplished, unobtrusive finger-style guitar Seve draws influences from both traditional British folk music and American roots & old-time styles. His songs are driven by message and melody and are often disarmingly open. Steve Ferbrache is committed to leaving audiences better than he found them - even after they’ve explored some of the toughest aspects of life together.
"An incredible songwriter, and one hell of a voice!" - Seasick Steve
"Definitely a class above - his easy charm and twinkling humour would win over the most battle weary" - Music Riot
"A very fine guitar picker, reminds me of early Paul Simon" - Wizz Jones
Live music from 8.00pm. Entry free but do bring some cash for the artists tip-jar.

Ian Murphy £1 Million to None

What happens when you lose £1 Million on a live TV game show? You write a comedy show about it of course. It is cheaper than therapy after all.

Find out about all the backstage goings on, the real reasons why I lost and what Ant and Dec are really like! Oh and how I played my part in Harry Styles superstardom. Some or all of that may or may not be true, however come and relive the moment my life changed in front of 9M people, right there in their living room.

"Relatable humour and quick comebacks" - Emmanuel Sonubi

An exceptionally confident entertainer, delivering humour that resonates brilliantly" - Torquay Comedy

Tickets are £8.00 🎟 for BOTH shows - Available below 👇
