MWR&BC Presents the return of The TERRAPLANES BLUES BAND with SGA Eleven29...
2025-11-22 20:00 - 23:00 (Europe/London) | The Muse at Brecon, The Muse, Glamorgan Street, Brecon, Powys, LD37DW, United Kingdom
MWR&BC Presents the return of The TERRAPLANES BLUES BAND to The Muse in Brecon…

The Terraplanes, hailing from Bristol, UK are a hard hitting, soulful Rhythm & Blues Band. A fine blend of British 60’s R’n’B with a heavy dose of Mississippi Delta Blues. UK Blues Award Winners – Emerging Act Of The Year 2023.

Image above was taken at The Muse by Barry Hill on Sunday 17th Nov 2024 (nearly one year to the return date) A very successful sold out show with special guest act Aled Clifford from Henry’s Funeral Shoe more details below —
It was immediately obvious that they are an exceptionally tight and cohesive outfit, with the sophisticated bass playing of Craig Shaw and versatile drumming of Andy Hutt never dominating, but always providing just the right backdrop to support the excellent singing and guitar of Nick Scrase and the flamboyantly accomplished harmonica of Eduardo Allen, resplendent in his sharp white suit.

Special Guest Eleven29
Floss and Dave are two old lags with a lifetime’s playing in bands behind them. Too obstinate to hang up their guitars, they now play, er, whatever the hell they like, including blues, western swing, country, tex-mex and the many other genres that count as Americana. Dave has a thing about vocal harmonies and old pop trash, Floss likes weird bands with songwriters who should probably be sectioned, and old field/work songs. Americymru, we call it…

The MWR&BC & BRECON FOLK CLUB Presents RAPHAEL CALLAGHAN Live at Kensington Church Brecon...
2026-01-24 19:30 - 22:30 | Kensington Baptist Church, Kensington, Brecon, Powys, LD39AY, United Kingdom
~~CELEBRATING OUR TWELTH YEAR in 2026 ~~
The first MWR&BC event of 2026 will feature
North Wales / Liverpool based RAPHAEL CALLAGHAN & will be a joint MWR&BC & BFC presentation.

Raphael brings his own brand of blues and gospel to Brecon for the first time on Sat 24th January 2026.
Eureka moments for Raphael were hearing Louisiana Blues by Muddy Waters on the Radio in the late ’50s, then seeing Alexis Korner’s Blues Inc at a tiny basement club in his home city of Liverpool in 1964 when he was still at school.
Then came The Country Blues LP on RBF with Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bukke White and more, and he was hooked. He first got together as harmonica player with singer Jim James in 1966 – yes, that’s 60 years ago – and in 1969 they made their debut recordings for the Liberty label produced by Tony McPhee.
After the duo parted in 1972, Raphael took up guitar but never had the patience to learn ‘proper’ chords so invented his own alternate tunings and added melodic slide. He began writing his own Blues songs and in 1993 won the inaugural Contemporary Blues Song of The Year Award at the Great British R & B Festival at Colne.
In a long and varied career, he’s played with Alexis Korner, Jo Ann Kelly, Eric Bibb, Bonnie Raitt, Jessie Mae Hemphill and more.
He has three solo albums, the new one Always in Arrears described as ‘his best yet’ in Blues In Britain magazine.
Discover him for yourself at Kensington Baptist Church . . .
The SGA Hermione Wild and The Sweet Bones…
Together they bring the raw beauty of traditional folk music with the spark of original song-writing. Their repertoire moves between traditional Welsh and British tunes and original songs inspired by the folk tradition.

The MWR&BC Proudly Presents
STOMPIN DAVE & LUCY PIPER Electric Blues Duo…

Live at The Brecon Tap
Stompin’ Dave Electric Duo
You might not have had the chance to see Dave in action, but many consider him one of the most exciting, energetic, and entertaining musicians on the current live music scene. Based in Bridport, Dorset, Stompin’ Dave was nominated for a UK Blues Award 2024.
“In other parts of the world they have cyclones, tornados, and hurricanes, in the UK we have Stompin’ Dave. Dave is a phenomenal artist…A great guitar player and vocalist and accomplished songwriter…he is also an outstanding dancer… ” Blues In The South. A prolific artist in the studio, Dave is a former member of former UK Blues Band of the Year The Producers. Dave has consistently given over one hundred performances per year across the UK and beyond, including many major festivals such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, and Bestival. “Let’s face it, in adding the quality of his original material the man is a downright genius” Blues In Britain.
With his song-writing Dave has engulfed himself in the masters of American roots music, remained true, but managed to produce “not…a sound of yesteryear that should be in a museum but real, modern and relevant that should be heard live” Blues Matters.
Almost always joining Dave in this line-up is Lucy Piper on drums “one of the UK’s leading blues drummers” The Guardian. Residing in Exeter, Devon, Lucy is the daughter of the late blues guitarist Julian Piper widely acknowledged as leading UK authority on blues. Julian played guitar on Lazy Lester’s 1987 album Rides Again which won a Blues Music Award. Universally recognized as the highest award in blues music.
In 2019 and 2020 Lucy worked with double Grammy Award winning Ruf Records on their annual ‘Blues Caravan’. As well as appearing on USA based Ryan Perry’s album High Risk, Low Reward which was nominated for a Blues Music Award 2020.
Lucy and Dave have been performing regularly together since 2022 with many appearances at various festivals and art centres. 2024 performances included Gloucester Blues Festival, and Congleton Jazz & Blues Festival, Cheshire, as well as making their first major festival appearance at Wilderness Festival, Oxfordshire. In 2025 the duo made appearances at York Blues Festival, Upton Blues Festival, The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival, Lancashire and many others!
Dave and Lucy have currently released five albums together. “The sound is authentic, with a richness that’s as good as any of the best blues albums.” Blues In Britain. “Great guitar work, fine singing and authentic lyrics and melodies.” Blues In The South. “Here’s two fabulous musicians delivering a record that deserves huge recognition, a modern blues album rooted nicely indeed in the traditions of the past.” Blues In Britain.

MWR&BC & Brecon Folk Club Presents STEVE FERBRACHE (Solo) with SGA DON'T TELL JOHNNY (Trio)...
2026-02-08 19:30 - 23:00 | The Muse at Brecon, The Muse, Glamorgan Street, Brecon, Powys, LD37DW, United Kingdom
LIVE MUSIC AT THE MUSE IN BRECON:
Folk and blues join forces once again on Sunday 8th Feb , as the MWR&BC team up with our friends from Brecon Folk & More Club for a return show with STEVE FERBRACHE this time supported by Chepstow / South Wales based DON’T TELL JOHNNY.
STEVE FERBRACHE is well known and loved in Brecon as the lead singer of THE ACHIEVERS, who have given us three unforgettable nights of top-class musical entertainment in recent years.
Performing once again as a solo artist, Steve is a man with a mission… to give expression to his impressive back-catalogue of self-penned songs – and perhaps exorcise a few of the demons that inspired them along the way… all of this delivered in his usual good-humoured and charmingly amusing manner.
In a solo context, you can appreciate more clearly the quality of his song-writing. Right from the outset, the remarkable intelligence and sensitivity of his lyrics is breath-taking.
Steve’s soulful voice and delicate guitar accompaniment provide a perfect vehicle for his songs.
See a full review of his gig with us last February via this link.

MWR&BC Presents live music at The Brecon Tap with GWYN ASHTON...
2026-04-03 21:00 - 23:30 | Brecon Tap, 6 Bulwark, Brecon, Powys, LD3 7LB, United Kingdom
Gwyn Ashton (born 1960, Wales) is a Welsh–Australian blues, rock guitarist and singer-songwriter.

He has released ten albums and continues to tour Australia, Europe and North America.
Gwyn Ashton, one of the hardest working and powerful one-man bands, is back touring a new solo album titled Mojosoul and a brand new single Get Outta Town with Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus and members of Australian bands Cold Chisel and Superjesus.
In 2023 he’s smashed stages across The Netherlands and Belgium with prog rockers Wishbone Ash, co-headlined the Adelaide Guitar Festival in Australia and relentlessly blazed his way across Wales, England, Serbia, Bosnia, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia and Poland. 2024 dates include an Australian tour and he’s booked for a mainstage performance at the prestigious Great British R&B Festival.
Ashton is on the top of the list of the new wave of modern blues rock artists, as spearheaded by The Black Keys, Jack White, Seasick Steve et al. A first class entertainer he oozes stagecraft and showmanship, combining songs and stories from a road well-travelled with dextrous guitar playing, blasting out drum beats on Bill Ward’s old Black Sabbath drum kit, grinding fuzz bass lines with his thumb while he viciously attacks his guitar with a bottleneck slide, singing and blowing blues harp into a lofi radio microphone.
Inspired by the likes of Hendrix and David Lindley, his “guit-arsenal” includes a rack full of electric and acoustic instruments including lap slide, resonator, 12-string and old pawn shop guitars.
Ashton has had multiple Tracks of The Week in the UK’s prestigious Classic Rock Magazine from 10 of his commercially released albums on which he’s collaborated with Don Airey (Deep Purple), Neil Murray (Whitesnake), Robbie Blunt (Robert Plant) and Rory Gallagher’s band.

“The most versatile performer we’ve had” – Deep Ellum Blues Club, Dallas, Texas. “The king of feel” – Robert Plant. “A true bluesman” – Johnny Winter. “A real player” – David Crosby. With these accolades and every recording garnishing numerous Albums of The Week/Month/Year from UK and European guitar and rock press Ashton’s incredible live show keeps growing stronger and he’s bringing it to a town near you soon!
Formerly with Virgin Records, France, Gwyn Ashton was lead guitarist in Europe with Band of Friends (Rory Gallagher’s band) and in Australia with Stevie Wright (Easybeats) and Jim Keays (Master’s Apprentices). He has shared stages with BB King, Buddy Guy, Ray Charles, Peter Green, Van Morrison, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf), Mick Taylor, Status Quo, The Yardbirds, Slade, Robin Trower, Steve Hackett, Wishbone Ash, The Troggs and more. He has been invited onstage to jam with Mick Fleetwood, Canned Heat, Walter Trout, Elliot Randall (Steely Dan) and many others.

Live music at THE MUSE in BRECON (Home of the MWR&BC)
After a very successful event at The Muse with Liz Jones and Suzy Cargill from Scottish act LIZ JONES & BROKEN WINDOWS on Sep 13th 2025.
http://midwalesrandb.club/2025/09/14/liz-jones-suzy-cargill-from-liz-jones-broken-windows-with-special-guest-act-disque-bleu/
Liz & Suzy return with Liz’s full band some 7 months later (Re 18th April 2026)

Twists of roots, blues and psychedelia, in a vibe that lies firmly with the 60s spirit of free music. Liz Jones & Broken Windows sound only like themselves, but have been compared to Little Feat, The Faces and Fleetwood Mac, with similarities lying in group buzz on stage and a wave goodbye to neat boxes, each tune simply taken on the path it carves. Live shows are a wild mix of personal expression, genre celebration and individual musicianship.
Corralling some of Scotland’s best players, this six-piece have the talent to roam beyond the prescribed pentatonic box …
the title track (to Double Measures) is a winningly wonky gypsy-jazz lurch.
Classic Rock Magazine
Favourite review from the audience!
“When this group of eclectic, casual looking musicians join a stage, you could be forgiven for thinking they’d be there to ‘entertain’, a leg up from some decent gigging bar in their home town. At the end of the gig, you are a fan, wondering why they aren’t widely celebrated in the rockin live music world. There’s so much to love. Vocally, musically, in spirit and in energy, they deliver original songs in a way that make you feel part of the band. You’re accepted because you are in it for the music, for the songs, the smiling, the realness of confused genres, stage wobbles and the shared secret that wild and free music is underground, and it doesn’t care.” AUDIENCE REVIEW AFTER EDINBURGH FRINGE SHOW 2022!

https://lizjonesmusic.com/brokenwindows
Special Guests on the night will be DISQUE BLEU (who supported Liz & Suzy first time round)

Comprising of Ian Jones on bass and vocals and Julian Lewis on rhythm and lead guitar. An interesting mix of laid-back blues, country and other genres.

Nothing In Rambling return to play at the Brecon Tap.
​“Sister Suzie and Andy Twyman take you on a musical journey through Mississippi and Louisiana performing music by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Boy Fuller and Elmore James. Guided by a mutual passion for early blues, they evoke the playfulness, power and soul of the music and the people who created it.”
Quotes
“Suzie’s voice is unforced, achieving numerous stylistic changes, while Andy’s guitar is technically impressive, versatile and consistently delivers flawless accompaniment”
Morgan Hogarth, RnR Magazine
“Suzie’s vocals wash over the listener raw, naked and soulful, like the voice of a body in anguish, looking for the answers to the questions of the soul…Twyman’s virtuosity on guitar shines…his fingers dancing along the fretboard, creating a wild bluesy atmosphere”
Jack Austin, Blues Blast Magazine (USA)

Celebrating the 12th anniversary of the MWR&BC the confirmed line-up is listed below with approximate timings (both subject to change) doors should be open at 3pm with background music played until and in between all acts —

JON AMOR TRIO…
2026 UK BLUES AWARDS NOMINEES – Band of The Year
Delivering high-energy Blues Funk.
Jon Amor fronts the trio, known throughout Europe & North America for his time with The Hoax, but now well-established as a performer in his own right. He has taken the stage alongside the likes of Van Morrison, Buddy Guy and Billy Bragg, and recorded with Robert Plant.
Bass virtuoso Jerry Soffe has recorded and played live with Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Larry Garner, John Etheridge, and Louisiana Red.
Dynamic drummer Tom Gilkes has toured and recorded with Marc Ford (Black Crowes) Ian Siegal, Elles Bailey, Muddy Manninen (Wishbone Ash), Willie & The Bandits, and John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis).
https://jonamor.tumblr.com/

THE TERRAPLANES BLUES BAND (DUO)…
Authentic Delta Blues & R’n’B. Formed in 2013 as a duo, with a shared appreciation of Mississippi country blues.
Nick Scrase always in fine voice, gritty and soulful – alongside his powerful lead guitar soloing is inventive, blistering… in short, just right.
Eduardo Allen (surely the sharpest-dressed harmonica player in the West) is an incredible showman, with a remarkable physical presence on stage.
https://www.theterraplanesbluesband.com/

CARLEY’S WRECK & RUIN (DUO)…
A British blues duo with a dark, unmistakable edge. Primitive and raw – Blues from the underworld!
A British duo with a dark, unmistakable edge. Blending gritty blues and roots music, it’s raw, rhythmic, and possessed by something older than rock ‘n’ roll itself! The music is the beat-up brainchild of Jo Carley (vocals, mandolin, washboard, percussion) and Tim Carley (battered archtop guitar, rattlin’ shoe, kick drum, distorted vintage amps, backing vocals), from JO CARLEY & THE OLD DRY SKULLS.
www.wreckandruin.uk

ELSIE FRANKLIN (SOLO)…

Elsie Franklin brings an enchanting blend of acoustic country blues, ragtime and jazz played on her trusty National resonator, all delivered with a beautifully authentic touch. Drawing from early masters like Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Elsie’s fingerstyle and slide guitar playing is steeped in history yet utterly fresh. In the words of blues legend Dave Kelly: “Elsie Franklin is the most natural blues singer I’ve heard in years… she’s the whole package.”
https://www.elsiefranklin.com/

Paul Keddle & Friends
Local Bluesman Paul Keddle has been playing across the Brecon area and beyond for well over 4 decades with several line-ups under this belt he will open our 12th anniversary gathering alongside a variety of fellow musicians from across the area and will also compare the entire day.

GROW VISION MUSIC & MWR&BC Proudly Presents WELL HUNG HEART live at The Muse Brecon...
2026-07-26 18:30 - 22:30 | The Muse at Brecon, The Muse, Glamorgan Street, Brecon, Powys, LD37DW, United Kingdom
WELL HUNG HEART live in WALES…
Explosive, genre-defying, and unapologetically raw — WHH is returning to the stage for a one-off show in Wales to help celebrate the 12th year of The MWR&BC at The Muse in Brecon.
This will be the band’s only scheduled Wales appearance for 2026, making it a rare and unmissable performance.
Formed by Greta Valenti and Robin Davey, WHH has carved out a fierce reputation for their incendiary live shows, blending garage rock, blues, punk, and a splash of soul into a sound that’s as rebellious as it is unforgettable.
The line-up will feature Valenti and Davey alongside original drummer Phil Wilson and more special guests tba, delivering a high-voltage set packed with fuzzed-out riffs, primal vocals, and unapologetic attitude.
From the U.S. West Coast to stages across the UK and Europe, WHH’s live shows are equal parts sonic assault and immersive performance art.
This intimate gig at The Muse will be a rare opportunity to witness the band’s full force up close.
