We released a 4 track EP on Spotify called 'Stand by Me'. We played at Hard Rock Cafe and did a live acoustic session on 'All FM' in Manchester. I am the singer/songwriter and rhythm guitarist in the band. I have also played solo acoustic gigs around Lancaster, Manchester and Liverpool including The Peaky Blinders Bar. PB: Who are your musical influences? OW: My main musical influences are the Stone Roses, the Libertines, Oasis and the Courteeners. PB: Favourite albums? OW: My favourite albums are 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by the Beatles and 'Up the Bracket' by the Libertines. PB: What are your future plans as a solo artist – any releases on the horizon? OW: I am currently working on a solo album called 'Social Chameleon' which is going to be a psychedelic/pop acoustic album. I am planning on releasing it onto Spotify on the 25th October (A week after the Peer Hat Gig). PB: Anything special planned for the Peer Hat Gig? OW: For the Peer Hat gig I am planning on playing a couple of upbeat tracks from the Uncertainties like 'Lullaby of Liverpool’, ‘Stone Me’, ‘Rosemary Lane’ and a couple of songs that will be on my new album. PB: Thank you.
