Join us in March for this spectacular double bill night of music on the Regal stage.
Smith & Brewer
Ben Smith and Jimmy Brewer originally met at an event organised by Joan Armatrading for the acts she had chosen to support her on her 2015 tour. Although they originally planned to just write together, they soon realised that their different guitar playing styles and voices complemented each other and they started performing together regularly after their inaugural gig supporting Joan Armatrading in front of a thousand-strong crowd. Since then Smith And Brewer have played together all over the UK, toured with 10cc, Ralph McTell, Jools Holland, and Fairport Convention, and have played hundreds of shows together.
“There's a timelessness to the neatly crafted songs that display their musical interplay and superb harmony vocals.” R2 Magazine
The 4 Of Us
THE 4 OF US are one of the most acclaimed bands in Ireland, having been a steadfast part of Irish music history for over 30 years. Blending contemporary roots with rock, the award-winning band was formed by brothers Brendan and Declan Murphy from the border town of Newry in Northern Ireland. Their truly unique sound has garnered a large and loyal fan base and an enviable catalogue of timeless songs, including six Top 20 Irish char[ng albums and several hit singles. Regulars on Irish radio playlists, their music has also been featured extensively on American, UK, and Irish TV soundtracks.
THE 4 OF US shot to early fame towards the end of 1989 with their debut Songs for the Tempted, which featured the massive hits Mary and Drag My Bad Name Down. The follow- up Man Alive made Q magazine's prestigious Top 50 Albums of 1992 and included the UK Top 30 song She Hits Me. Touring recently as Special Guests for Folk-Rock legends Fairport Convention, and Robert Plant’s Saving Grace, The 4 of Us have gathered new fans across the UK and beyond.
“Intricate arrangements, skilful lyric writing, and as we have come to expect from The 4 Of Us, their songs are imbued with considerable melodic flair. Excellent.” HOT PRESS Magazine
