Heavy Traffic Music Presents

A night of music with three exciting acts performing:

The Occasional Orchestra

This band of five men have made it their mission over recent years to play their uplifting and intelligent songs to appreciative audiences across the UK and beyond. They have an ever growing back catalogue of recorded singles and albums, most recently working with top Producer Matt Terry (The Enemy, Don Broco) to produce their finest album to date Urban Foxes, crowd funded by the band’s loyal following on Kickstarter.

The combination of compelling hooks, sweet harmonies, insightful lyrics and accomplished musicianship has led them to be described as “The Mumford and Sons you don’t want to punch” by Richard O’Hagan of RNR magazine. Not that The Occasional Orchestra would agree with punching fellow musicians of course.

A BBC radio session in 2018 followed the release of Glue – a single to raise money for valuable music therapy sufferers dementia. The authentic and moving video has so far been viewed by half a million people.

The band’s passion is playing live in all manner of venues the UK and beyond, their energetic committed performances are particularly well received by festival crowds small theatre goers where unique blend story-telling song-writing seems to have captured a mood.

The M-Four

The M-Four deliver a powerful set – you’ll know the songs but you won’t have heard them like this before. Beefing up classic songs in their own rock orientated style.

Their name derives from their many trips along the wonderful motorway, the M4, which connects the band members located in Bristol and Berkshire.

2024 was the year for practice and getting ready to gig with the bands unique delivery of some classic tunes.

Paul Healey

He has recorded one of the greatest debut albums of all time, Medication for da Soul. Up there with first albums by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift… he could go on but he hopes that his work will speak for itself.
