Yesterday we got the tragic news of the passing of one of our own. Stephen 'Bing' Bevan was one of those people who lit up any room, regardless of his circumstances.

Bing actively encouraged, inspired and influenced so many in the most positive ways. A man who lived for music and enjoyed watching others grow in their music journey as much as he did playing live. A true performer, gentleman and an absolute shining light of the community!

Bing released his song 'Black Smoke' a year ago, and last night, it went straight to the top of our YouTube Chart, something Bing would have loved, almost as much as we do!

Please, go listen to the song over on YouTube. Play on Bing, we're missing you already, Brother! 💙

ShunkFest, as you probably know by now gave a stage to 30 bands and artists who played their original music to the masses!

One of those bands was Port Talbot's own who brought the high octane energy from the very first beat!

These boys always put on one hell of a show, every time, without fail, and was no different!

Powerful, heavy melodies laced with one of the best live performing bands you're likely to see!

Get behind 'em and do not miss out!

ShunkFest: Introducing

ShunkFest opened its doors for the very first time with over 30 bands & artists of the highest order taking to the main stage at The Plaza in Port Talbot!

ShunkFest set out to give a platform to orginal artists with the hope of inspiring a generation along the way!

So, opening the festival on Sunday was brand new four-piece, The Sporks! At just 16 years old and playing their very first gig, Carly (Lead Vocals), Evan (Lead Guitar & BVs), Stevie (Bass) & Ollie (Drums) really set the tone for the day!

Playing a four song set, The Sporks set the tone for the day and reminded everyone that the youth of today not only know their music, but are right at home playing it on the big stages amongst the big names!

An absolute pleasure to witness the beginnings of another musical journey!

Thank you to ShunkFest for an amazing festival in our town and for recognising the importance of new music and brand new bands!

The Sporks are here to stay, get behind 'em!

This phone recording of myself, Ben Curtis & Tommy Evans playing my song, Text Back Blues, in my living room was just the start of the journey!

Since then I've been played on Radio X, played for This Feeling, In It Together Festival, and in venues up and down the country and met so many incredible people!

Now, in just over a week's time, I'll be playing at arguably one of the most important events I'll ever play!

ShunkFest will give a platform and a voice to the town I love and to some of the best new bands & artists! Over 30 of them will play over two days at the newly refurbished Plaza in Port Talbot, and I'll be part of it!

Message me now to sort your tickets out, I'll be playing the Sunday!
