Finally, after waiting more than six months, we can start announcing some live music nights at the new NE Volume Music Bar in Stockton!
Taking place on Friday 11th September, we’re over the moon to be bringing James Leonard Hewitson, Jamie Farrell and GAZ price to Teesside.
James Leonard Hewitson is a songwriter with a noisy indie band from Hartlepool. Songs from his recent album ‘Only The Noise Will Save Me’ (Feb 2020) have been featured on BBC 6 Music, UK Television (Made in Chelsea, Tattoo Fixers, BT Sport), plenty of top blogs such as i-D, Line of Best Fit, CLASH, Consequence and Too Many Blogs, Amazing Radio’s A-list and more.
Live, James performs on his own or with his band (this time around, he’ll be playing solo) and has completed several mini-tours across the UK. He has supported Glasvegas, BMX Bandits, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Boy Azooga and The Districts, as well as an impromptu 1-song spot at a Tom Robinson gig. James also won End of The Road’s ‘Play EOTR’ competition and will feature there in 2021.
Comparisons to acts like Pavement, The Modern Lovers and The Fall, along with his own North-East twist, puts James Leonard Hewitson in an indie-rock subsection that sounds very familiar, yet very difficult to put into words. Put simply: you either get it or you don’t.
Support comes from Teesside Singer-songwriter Jamie Farrell, a country-rock troubadour, and GAZ Price, A.k.a Hartlepool’s Gareth Price, who is a brutally honest singer-songwriter that is passionate about the town he was brought up in.
Of course, all social distancing measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of all attendees – from gig-goers to the artists and the staff. However, if you have any questions, please email Lee or Adam at nevolumebar@gmail.com.
Tickets for this one are priced at just £5.00 per person and are available to purchase now in groups of 2, 3, 4 or 6: https://www.seetickets.com/event/james-leonard-hewitson-jamie-farrell-gaz-price/ne-volume-music-bar/1621688.
