The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Tuesday 18th October 2016

I'm Havelock, a 20 year old from Kent. I've been involved with music for as long as I can remember. Writing lyrics has always been my outlet - it's the way I best express my feelings. Artists such as Jeff Buckley, Amy Winehouse, Jamie T and The Kooks have played an important part in my music so far. Expect lilting, feel good tracks with jazz infused chords as well as attitude filled, indie rock and roll.

Starting out as a John Mayer covers band called the Wolsely Brothers, Tom Clarke (vocals), Matt Opsblum and Kieran Philbin (both guitar) started drawing attention from their tutors whilst studying at the British Institute for Modern Music in Brighton. After successfully making it to two successive end of term shows, and playing at some of the cities biggest venues, the band decided to make their own original music.

The band, now self titled, create music that mixes the best of blues, country, folk and indie styles and takes influence from Dave Mathews, Laura Marling, Lucy Rose, Bon Iver, the Rolling Stones and John Mayer. 

Along the way they picked up Tom Oldfield (bass) and the multi talented Richard Thomas (piano, vocals and percussion) and are now ready to show what they can do.

'Anna's voice is the perfect foil for her lyrics, blending a light sweetness with a bit of gravel. Think somewhere between the darker tones of Roseanne Cash and the airiness of early Joni Mitchell.'
