A Head At A Gig…The Hat One

Husb and I went to a gig the other night ….. more of that in another post. Of course I had to have a quick scribble or two. This is my old mate Peter Crow, who plays with an awesome Gothic Folk Rock band (I hope I got that right) called Wild-Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious.Continue reading “A Head At A Gig…The Hat One”

An Eclectic Mix.

Another head of a performer from the Riverside Folk Club a couple of weeks ago. It’s an eclectic mix of music, folk and country, blues and bluegrass, the occasional small choir and even a bit of comedic verse. I drew this with a 2B graphite block into a Khadi sketchbook.

And The Mari Came Too.

There were lots of performers at the Riverside Folk Club last week, mostly human. But suddenly The Mari Lwyd arrived, wreaking havoc and mischief across the room. Of course, I had to scribble her.

One, Two, Three ……

The show is in Orchard Street Gallery which is part of HQ Urban Kitchen on Swansea’s Orchard Street and runs through to the end of January. The other venues showing my work are Cinema&Co.ffee and GS Artists.

A Face In The Crowd.

Sometimes you see a face and you’ve just got to sketch it. This guy was at The Jexit gig at The White Lion in Aberdare last week, grooving to the band. A face full of character.

More Japanese JAM ….

Here’s another sketch from Aberdare last Friday on a cold Welsh Winter night with torrential rain. I’d gone to see a Japanese Jam cover band, The Jexit, perform at The White Lion, with my mate. It was a fantastic gig. The lead singer Yoshi Tokio had flown in from Japan a few days before but theContinue reading “More Japanese JAM ….”

A Japanese JAM Tribute Band in Aberdare.

My pal and I went up to Aberdare, proper up the Valleys, on a cold Friday night in torrential rain (luckily she was driving, not me) to see a Japanese Jam cover band, The Jexit, perform at the small but perfectly formed local pub The White Lion. Of course, I had to have a scribble.Continue reading “A Japanese JAM Tribute Band in Aberdare.”

Shlug And Pants!

The singer in the Shlug band performs in his pants. That’s British pants, not American pants. He performs in his kecks. His trons. His undies. And he’s brilliant. And the band is brilliant. I sketched them recently at Hangar 18 in the Swansea Fringe. I did the portrait sketch with Nitram charcoal and the scribbledContinue reading “Shlug And Pants!”

High Speed Shlug!

Here’s a few speed sketches I did of the very fast and furious band Shlug at The Swansea Fringe recently. Incredibly loud and rapid music and a lead singer who doesn’t stop, rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. It’s a challenge to draw that quickly, especially in a dark venue (Hangar 18) with lotsContinue reading “High Speed Shlug!”
