Ross Harding is an acclaimed blues rock musician from Johannesburg, South Africa, currently based in the UK.
As a songwriter and performing artist, he personifies rich, powerful vocal abilities with mesmerizing guitar skills, gaining international industry recognition for his commanding blend of blues and rock music, reminiscent of the classic rock, grunge & blues artists of the past.
A prolific performing artist, his versatile stage performances range from a deeply soulful solo acoustic artist, to a high energy blues rocker, whose experience is that of an artist much older than he. A seasoned touring musician, he has played hundreds of shows in clubs, festivals, and notable venues in his decade-long professional career. Ross Harding continues to push boundaries in his redefining approach to the blues rock genre.
"...a remarkable dark and moving depth…an experience that starts with his cracked, soulful and incredibly emotive voice which has a surprising turn of range to it…With a crisp and clear production, the subtleties of guitar and vocals are beautifully balanced…sometimes you just need to go back to your musical roots, and it’s rather fantastic that it’s taken a gentleman half my age to remind me of that fact." – Simon Black (United Kingdom)

A500 Music aim to present quality live music in a friendly and intimate environment.
We seat our audience at tables in a cabaret style and because we always hope to be near capacity, we allocate seating to our guests according to when they purchased their tickets.
By inviting you to bring your own drink, we are making the evening an inexpensive as well as enjoyable experience.
Unfortunately drinking glasses will no longer be available on the night but we will still be providing free hot drinks.
