Event information

Brave Rival are the South East’s brand-new rip-roaring rock and blues machine. Hailing from Portsmouth, the 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 John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Tedeschi Trucks, Brave Rival wowed Joe Bonamassa so much that he informed listeners to his radio show that they were "his favourite discovery this year"!
Brave Rival are a band on a meteoric rise, firing on all cylinders and are about to take the world by storm. Their unique combination of beautifully harmonic, soulful vocals, epic guitar solos, pounding drums and powerful bass serves up an infectious sound that is not to be missed. I witnessed them win the Introducing Stage at Butlins Skegness Rock and Blues Festival in January and, as a result of that, they are now booked to play the mainstage in Jan 2023.
Brave Rival have been making very large waves over the last year, in fact a tidal wave of rave reviews from audiences who have witnessed their talent, stunning musicianship and uplifting performances surrounds them! We were thrilled to have them open the show for Corky Laing when he played the Haven Club in November and so many people asked for them back again that, well, here we are!
