Event Type : Live Music

A series of concerts in Kent, Staines, Luton, Darlington and Milton Keynes have been announced for May and June 2024 to support Catfish lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Long.

Long was diagnosed with bowel cancer a year ago, and recent scans revealed that the cancer had spread to his liver and stomach lining.

Matt’s mum, Fiona Long, has also set up a GoFundMe page aiming to raise £100,000 for private treatment in the US for his cancer treatment.

“Matt has been battling bowel cancer for just under a year,” Fiona told us, “and despite surgery and chemo, his latest scan shows that the cancer has spread into his liver and stomach lining. His cancer team have said although there is the option of trying a different type of chemo, they don’t hold out much hope that it will cure him and is likely to, at best, extend his life a little.”

LiveWire and The Giffard Arms presents Brave Rival!

Friday 10th May 2023, we are happy to announce the return of Brave Rival. 

Brave Rival are the South East’s rip-roaring rock and blues machine. Hailing from Portsmouth, the five time UK Blues Award Nominated band features the powerful and beautiful twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick. On lead guitar, providing dramatic guitar solos and crunching rock riffs is Ed “The Shred” Clarke. And holding it all together is the rhythmic backbone, the self-proclaimed engine room of Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums).

Drawing influence from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Chris Buck and Tedeschi Trucks, Brave Rival offer a style and sound that you’ve always known, and yet never heard before.

We are very excited to welcome the legendary Deborah Bonham and the band, described by Classic Rock Magazine as “[a] powerful rock band steeped in the primal intimacy of the Blues“, to JJJ!
Deborah Bonham is a Redditch native (where she grew up with her brother, Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham), and over the course of an impressive career has established herself as one of the finest Blues, Rock and Soul singers that the UK has produced. A string of critically acclaimed original albums and captivating standing ovation concert performances, from the Royal Albert Hall and London Palladium, to the Amphitheatres of the USA ‘Stars Align Tour’ with Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck and Ann Wilson of Heart, have consistently garnered glowing reviews.
The band features Belfast born Guitarist Peter Bullick, lauded by the press for his passionate playing, exudes his influences from the world’s finest Guitarists in every note of his performance. Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers chose Bullick to fill the shoes of the late Paul Kossoff, in his Free Spirit Band. Rodgers and Bullick, along with the rest of Bonham’s band, G Louis (Keys), Rich Newman (Drums) and E Rowley (Bass), extensively toured the UK and USA, culminating in the Billboard Chart #2 album and DVD, ‘Paul Rodgers’ Free Spirit Live at The Royal Albert Hall London’.
Classic Rock Magazine said of the band following attending one of their gigs: “The top-flight Blues-Slingers deliver in style. They’re no strangers to entertaining crowds of thousands at international Blues festivals when they’re not backing Paul Rodgers live, so catching the band at an intimate Sold-Out venue [..] was an opportunity too good to miss” … so make sure you don’t miss out on what will be a great night of blues-driven rock featuring a great mix of original material and finely crafted covers of classic blues and rock tracks that have meaning to Deborah and the band!
