The Sharp Donkey

Rock / Blues / Acoustic
Original project that will bring the hard blues around the world. Andrea De Luca plays electric guitar, lap steel and sings. Great live and studio experience. He play with several bluesman like Mr. Herbie Goins, currently on tour with Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and many others.

Paolo De Luca plays drums as naturally as breathing. He has played in many blues bands in Rome. Menotti Minervini is an exellent bass player. Plays with Marco Morandi (Gianni Morandi's son) in the best Rino Gaetano Tribute Band.

We are an italian power trio performing blues, hard blues, rock blues and rock music. We are interested in taking our music to Northern Europe; and we'd like to ask your collaboration in this project. Is there a possibility to be hired from (every kind of) live performance? We are well experienced in this kind of events. We have a large acoustic and electric repertoire, and different set lists for different requests.

We hope you'll get interested and contact us for any further information.

Just Like Little People

Alternative / Indie / Rock
"Some delicate hints of female singer songwriter material is to be found here but then the band kicks in to heavy Muse like rock, anthemic and swollen with power chords, driving guitars, a big wall of sound. ..and then back to acoustic gentility just to keep you on your toes…KT Tunstall meets Muse said someone, indeedy…"
Bugbear Bookings

"Just like little people are a joy to watch, Rhiannon's vox are enchanting, and there's a sense of fun that she and the rest of the band bring out in the music. when i saw them they were one member down and still rocked the show, its refreshing to see a band that love what they do and aren't chasing the money, they keep it real."

Gilbert

Other / Alternative / Classical
Matthew Gilbert Linley (aka 'Gilbert') is a London-born drummer/keyboard player who studied classical music and composition at Oxford University and Goldsmith's College, before writing soundtracks for film, television and theatre for some years. A debut album completed in 2007 received excellent reviews and extensive national radio play, gaining a digital release soon after on the Indie label, Shifty Disco Records. The music was subsequently performed live by 4/5 people (playing an array of drums/percussion, bass, organs, violins, horns, singing and spoken word) extensively throughout the UK including notable sets at the 2007 Green Man Festival, 2008 Loop Festival, and 2009 Southbank Udderbelly.

In 2010 a new album - 'Wahoola!' - was finished. About the new record Gilbert Linley writes: " I wanted 'Wahoola!' to more obviously feature the talents of the people who have been performing the first album live.....especially Maud Waret's vocals and Brian Lee's violin-playing and zany spoken word monologues".

Gilbert Linley also plays drums in Engineers.
