Theo Bard is a UK based singer songwriter specialising in the genres of folk and reggae, young and fresh faced, he has brought with him something pretty unique to a age old scene, 5 songs, varied, fluctuating between the genres with a maturity and depth in their lyrical content and a catchiness in melody.
Theo learnt his trade on the violin and from an early age was both prodigious and committed, in his late teens / early twenties he shifted his attention to guitar and to writing songs, many of which reflect his integrity and moral position with regards climate change.
His first EP is due to be released on the 24th of September, this is the title track, \'Listen\'.

Tight grooves and heavyweight sounds...
Don’t forget the dub. Revised and tweaked by the gentlemen from Leeds, here’s music with bubble and bounce, thrilling festival-goers with dance-ready beats. Crystalline sounds abound as the nine-strong troupe displays an uncommon mastery of instruments and effects. Just as nature intended, on the whole, delivering a mesmerising and up-beat blissed-out rush of warming tunes. It is hugely satisfying to find musicians mastering and advancing this genre for another generation of gig hounds. Gentleman’s Dub Club deserve all the success they get.
It might be tricky to find out much about this lot, but they’ve assembled a small but loyal following in the wake of a number of excellent festival appearances this summer, and an encouraging diary of future engagements. In fact they’ve been around since early 2006, and are slowing carving a fat niche for themselves after working the Leeds house party scene in their early days, before graduating to an enviable run of high-profile gigs. They must have been chuffed to play Camden’s Koko, their chilled sound big enough to fill the room with finger-clickin’ awesomeness.
From a launch gig at London’s Cargo in March this year, we’ve included an ultra-slow number for you on video, a goodly summer tune if there ever was one, and don’t let us hear any complaints about the weather, thanks very much. Picture yourself, Red Stripe in hand, in a sunny park listening to this one. ez now.
‘No Misery’, our featured track for you this week, rocks in proper old-skool dance-hall ska style. We’re back in the 80s, comparisons with such greats as UB40 are entirely justified, with the group feted for their high-energy shows where an active crowd is guaranteed. The brass section answers the vocalist’s questions in a laid-back style. Tight grooves and heavyweight sounds, they’re saying. Indeed.
