BOB GALLIE

Originally from the Valleys of South Wales, Bob started music when in school and learned to play guitar and sing the hard way !! After leaving Wales Bob played in various bands in the South West as a Vocalist. He progressed further to become the Vocalist for Diamond Head guitarist Brian Tatler in his new band Radio Moscow. After 4 years of performing at major Venue’s such as The Marquee and constant gigging, Bob left due to personnel reasons and left the music behind. Time as they say is a great healer and Bob returned to his roots playing Acoustic guitar and learning to sing again and write. Today we find Bob playing Festivals and gigs everywhere and anywhere. Music has never gone away…

LEE RAHN

Lee Rahn is a Singer/Songwriter from the South West and studied music at ICMP Music College in London.

Lee’s Folk Influence, unique vocal ability, combined with engaging live performances makes him a favourite within the South West music scene. Since deciding to make the move to London and focus on playing music full time, Lee has been regarded by many as a creative guitarist, picking through alternative tunings and complimented as “a thoughtful lyricist with vividly emotive imagery”.
