Dennis Ellsworth
Event Information
Who knows why…and perhaps it’s true that Dennis Ellsworth often gets labelled as a songwriter’s songwriter. His path began with absorbing his parents’ records and cassettes and it progressed to teaching himself how to play guitar so he could write his own songs. Right from the start, he would never want to learn other’s songs. His position is that there is no end to growing as a songwriter. It shows up in his themes, his language, and his ability to switch moods and styles of music to suit his current head or heart space, and it will most certainly transform again and again. In 2012, Dennis left his band Haunted Hearts and started making solo records. Following the release of his David Barbe produced, debut solo album called Dusk Dreams, he began touring in Canada. After meeting a few key individuals, he started touring the UK. For about 6 years, he would come to the UK at least twice a year to promote his releases. In 2019, his daughter was born, and he wanted to spend more time at home, so he slowed way down. He kept writing, recording and releasing new music, but the days of crossing the Atlantic were on hold. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world and helped him settle into parenthood. His newest album, Hardcore Freewheelin’ (Tonic Records), was produced by Canadian songwriter and producer, Jim Bryson. It is concise and sonically top tier and it showcases Ellsworth’s versatility exceptionally well. With his brand-new album, as well as a deluxe reissue of his 2013 album Hazy Sunshine on the way, he is making his return to the UK in late January 2026. With him, he will have a standout 4-piece band for maximum enjoyment. Tell your friends!!!

Ben Ottewell & Ian Ball Gomez by Request
Event Information
Ben Ottewell & Ian Ball As founding members of the British band Gomez, Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell have shaped the sound of indie rock with their eclectic blend of blues, rock, folk, electronic and experimental influences. Gomez first made waves with their 1998 debut Bring It On, which won the Mercury Prize. Ian and Ben’s contrasting vocals and musical style became a defining feature of the band. They followed with the atmospheric Liquid Skin (1999) and the more experimental In Our Gun (2002), each expanding their musical reach. The band continued to evolve with Split the Difference (2004), How We Operate (2006), A New Tide (2009), and their latest, Whatever’s On Your Mind (2011). Both Ian and Ben have pursued successful solo careers, but their chemistry remains as strong as ever. Ben and Ian will be joined by LA based singer songwriter and long term collaborator Buddy.

Omar Perry & Easy Riddim Maker
Event Information
Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica, Omar Perry is the son of the legendary producer and song writer that shook the world by giving birth to Reggae Dub and produced some of the biggest reggae household names: Lee “Scratch” Perry! Growing up in such a musical environment with some of the greatest reggae artists that worked in his father’s studio, Omar knew one day he would have to take his place on the Reggae Music chariot. He has since toured with Horace Andy, Jah Mason, Kiddus I, and his father Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, and shared the stage with countless international artists including Sly & Robbie + Mykal Rose, Buju Banton, Alton Ellis, The Abyssinians, Kymani Marley, Max Romeo and Alborosie. Omar did not rely on his father’s fame and preferred to make his own way. Over the years he emerged as an artist of the future: his ability to captivate and energize the massive is breath taking. He has released 7 studio albums between 2007 and 2022: ‘Man Free’, ‘Can’t Stop Us’, ‘The Journey’, ‘Be Cool’, ‘New Dawn’, ‘Living in the Jungle’, and ‘Life’. After connecting with ERM over their leader, Olivier Gangloff’s friendship with the late, great Lee Perry, Omar and ERM were bound together by their desire to preserve the spirit, legacy and persona of one of the greatest reggae legends ever. The album entitled Channeling Lee “Scratch” Perry is a tribute where Omar keeps his identity but still explores the mind and soul barrier to re-create the embodiment of his Father LSP.
