Hangover Hill and Lighthouse present three more highly rated acts as they have a rare opportunity to experience a larger stage in our monthly unsigned music night.
Galahad
Winners of the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ 2024, Galahad was formed in Christchurch in early 1985 by original guitarist Roy Keyworth and the line-up was completed when Stu Nicholson joined as vocalist in July 1985. Their first ever show was at Somerford Community Centre on 31 August 1985.
They then played several hundred gigs throughout the rest of the 1980s and early 1990s at almost all of the venues in and around the local area before playing further afield as time went on. Stu says “I’ve got so many great memories of those days when we were so much younger and, looking backing on it, it seemed a simpler and more carefree time. We had our dark times as, unfortunately, is often the case, the saddest of all was losing our bass guitarist Neil Pepper to Oesophageal cancer in 2011 but he of all people would have wanted us to keep going.
“Who’d have thought we’d still be at it after all these years and still feeling inspired to create, write, record, play etc. in spite of our, not so slowly, advancing years!”
Traffic Cone Wizard
Winners of ‘Best Recorded Work – Album 2024′, Traffic Cone Wizard are an eclectic indie-rock band from Bournemouth, originally formed in 2010. After writing and performing together for just a year, the band split in 2011.
They reunited in 2020, bringing a new energy and direction to their sound. In 2023, they released their debut album, We:Are, which blends indie rock, psychedelia, and experimental pop. The album captures the band’s distinctive style, with quirky instrumentals and introspective lyrics. Traffic Cone Wizard continue to carve out their unique place in the local music scene with their vibrant, genre-defying sound.
lucymuses (Represents entx one of our major sponsors 2024)
lucymuses is a singer-songwriter who has been charming audiences with her confessional songwriting and chatty performance stylings since 2023.
A self-described ‘walking noise complaint’, she blends her choral foundations with a lifelong love of any and all music and performance, and a ‘vibes-led’ approach to guitar-playing (read: never taken a lesson). The result is melodic, self-aware, sometimes melancholy, often fun, and always delivered with a cackle.
