The Rob Fletcher Band
Playing Parisienne Walkways
The Rob Fletcher Band has been around for 20 years now , we started out playing original material as a three piece with Ad Holder on bass and Damien Read on drums. The first line up change was when Ad was replaced by Neil Maher on bass, an old friend of Rob and Damien.
Martin Pearson was next to join augmenting the band into a four piece and the band performed mainly cover versions.Damien departed over two years ago and after a succession of drummers the band finally found a permanent replacement in Alan "Lenny" Lenahan.
The Rob Fletcher Band specialize mainly in classic rock from the 60s and 70s playing numbers by Hendrix, The Who, Deep Purple, Stones among others.
Martin also doubles up on guitar with Rob on a couple of Thin Lizzy classics.With a varied set the band should appeal to rock fans of all ages. Catch them in a pub near you!!!

Holly Holyoake
Singing "Shine"
Holly Holyoake is a Welsh classical music singer from Duffryn, Newport, born 31 December 1988. A soprano, she has been likened to fellow Welsh performer Katherine Jenkins. Her career is following a similar path to Jenkins and she has performed before the Wales national rugby union team matches at the Millennium Stadium. She considers American tenor Mario Lanza her inspiration.
Holyoake's debut album, When Dreams Have Wings, was self-released in 2002 with the catalogue number HRH1, and recorded when she was just 14.
In 2004 Holyoake performed with Hayley Westenra in Cardiff. She came to prominence in August 2005 when, aged 17, she won a gold award in the Open category of the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood. She was the only person representing the UK - competing against accomplished musicians from 40 countries across the world.
