Brooke Law's music is delivered in her distinctive gutsy voice, think Alanis Morissette meets Janis Joplin. Her music, like her beliefs, are uncompromising: emotional and direct.
She is known for bringing energy and power to her live performance, and she has performed at various festivals including Isle of Wight, C2C Festival, Speedfest, The Long Road, Black Deer, Pub In The Park, Woodstock live and Big Feastival.
Regularly gigging on the London circuit (Bush Hall, The Green Note, Omeara, Brixton Blues Kitchen, Slaughtered Lamb etc), Brooke gets regular radio coverage via BBC, Absolute Radio, Country Line Radio & TV, London Live TV and others, as well as regular mentions in the music press.
Brooke’s debut album 'Naked Heart' is a bold statement - anchored by lead singles ‘Real’, ‘Big World’ and the new ‘Freak On’, she invites us to strip away the noise of modern life and stand tall in our own truth. From provocative rock to soulful confessionals, this is music as both challenge and comfort. A challenge to a world growing dangerously artificial.
Her powerful voice, akin to rock icons yet wholly her own, blends grit and grace cueing to the core on an album that is both defiant and soulful. Brooke’s voice shifts from vulnerable whispers to defiant roars.
"Confident and assured. Brooke Law may well become your favourite new Rock Star.” - Record of The Day
“Brooke Law captivated the room on the acoustic Arena stage. They queued to meet her afterwards as her powerful voice reeled them in and her exemplary songwriting held them there” - Maverick Magazine
"Uniquely talented, You shine. If you get a chance to see Brooke live- Do!" - David Grant, BBC Radio London

Chris Bevington is the latest in a long-line of blues artists who have rubbed metaphorical shoulders with some of the greats of eras passed. With his confidants and comrades, Chris has dedicated the last year to laying down some of the most gorgeous sounds imaginable, on his album 'Chris Bevington and Friends'.
Although cover versions can sometimes tell you very little about the artist recording them, aside from their own, sometimes fascinating, taste in music, 'Chris Bevington and Friends' reveals so much of the intensity that emanates from the man’s thoughts and through his playing ability. The songs he has covered like the sublime 'Crossroads', 'I Don’t Need No Doctor', the excellent 'Blue On Black', 'She’s Out There Somewhere', and 'All I Want Is You', uncover a man who knows his way round the blues history like a person who has been studying for years to get their doctorate. Each note dedicated to sounding as pure and as wholesome as possible. These songs aren’t faded copies in which to get the interest of a new fan, they are songs which are sung direct from the heart, the laying down of tracks which resonate across the decades. and which always hold relevance to the current crop of blues admirers.
Chris's Band originate from North Staffordshire. The current line-up have been together since 2022, and have toured the UK playing many festivals and gigs. The band comprise of 10 members, boasting a 3 piece brass section to complete the line up. CBO originally got together in 2013 with the release of their first studio album. Since that time they have added a further 4 albums, with the 6th expected to be released in early 2026. The band's aim is to present a large and upbeat sound, to draw from music influences across the blues world, and to create a unique stage sound that people will enjoy.
Chris first got the band together, after many years in music, with a desire to create a big blues band, who could also play other styles of music. Their current set list comprises of a mix of self-penned tracks from their 6 albums and also choice covers of the best known classics, all complimented by the big CBO band sound.
With the Release of the 3rd and 4th albums the band were delighted to be nominated for a UK blues award for best album and best band in 2020, and they have also picked up a number of international awards for the album “Cut and Run”.
Going forward, the new album will be released in 2026 and the band will be performing songs from it at all this year's festivals and gigs.
All I can say is 'Wow'!!! What a brilliantly put together album and what class musicianship. It's an album you can put on again and again and not be bored, the variety of the content is superb. Well done Chris Bevington for turning your vision into reality. It is one of the best albums I have heard in a while and I will look forward to catching any live performances in the future.
