MARTY O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra, with Daniel Glover supporting, will play Small World Theatre, Cardigan on Saturday, April 28 at 8pm.

Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra's music is described as transcendent roots music from a historical period that hasn't happened yet, like describing a remembered dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time it feels new.

Marty's voice is beautiful and distinctive, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar. Chris Lynch's violin, Matt Goff's percussion and Ben Berry's rich bass meld beautifully. The chemistry of these friends is obvious. But one can also hear an urgency in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain.

The band formed in Santa Cruz California in 2012 and has been touring relentlessly ever since, from San Francisco to New Orleans to London to Seattle.

Daniel Glover is a young recording artist from Wales. His unique delivery and soulful lyrics beyond his years are sung with a passion and commitment that has been enrapturing audiences across the UK.

The next stage in an evolution of singer/songwriters like Ed Sheeran, thebluesmusicblog compares him to "Tom Waits, John Hammond and early Bob Dylan…he has a unique sound all his own, with a clarity and freshness that makes discovering new music such a pleasure". Supported by Night Out Whatever you do don't miss this great gig, supported by the Night out scheme.
