CICCIC Discovering is a bit like BBC Introducing where we provide a special night rediscovering music of known artists who excel in quality performances & song. Allowing you as the audience to discover how amazing these artists are or as new-to-you artists.
Each artist have years of experience in songwriting and performances and you will be amazed at the qulaity of musicianship.
At this seated event we have the pleasure of presenting the amazing talents of four accomplished musicians and artist that we are have rediscovered and wish to share them with you:
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 an acoustic singer/songwriter based in Penryn, Cornwall.
With an intimate picking style, full of alternative tunings, combined with his soft vocal that is both melancholy and whimsical, Lee is often compared to artists such as Nick Drake and John Martyn.
Since living in Cornwall, he has recorded two solo albums, ’So Much Longing, So Little Time’ (2023) and ’the song I was singing. . . ’ (2025).
Lee is now busy performing in the south-west of over the summer and working on a new EP of new songs.
NICK GIRONE-MADDOCKS (was Darren Hodge)
“Tell a story like you’ve seen it” is Nick’s songwriting mantra. Performing solo and with a number of bands (including CICCIC regulars Thunderbridge Bluegrass and The Sweethearts) for four decades, he’s got some song-miles under his belt with over 200 songs in his self-penned songbook. With songs covering all manner of subjects, Nick’s style is based on Americana luminaries such as Guy Clark, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and Jason Isbell. One of the stand-out qualities of Nick’s show is the delivery of his work – simple, clear, personable.
In a bid to keep him on his toes, and to keep remembering all those lyrics, Nick will be presenting his ‘Set List Bingo’ at this show – where YOU choose the songs. Wish him luck!
GROUVECAT
Mark is the man behind Grouvecat and has been performing in Solo/Band’s for 20 Years around the South Coast travelling around Europe & now the South West. He has performed in front of thousands of people, been seen on TV & been seen by Paul Rogers.
Mark has supported many famous musicians including Dave Kelly, Maggie Bell, Lawrence Jones, Rino (Status Quo), Skinny Molly (Guitarist Mike Estes of Lynyrd Skynyrd & Blackfoot) Miller Anderson (Spender Davis Group) & Chris Farlowe.
More recently Mark recorded one of his originals ‘Soulman’ with Paul Weller’s drummer.
Please note that this live music event is more of a concert that a gig and therefore is a seated event and requires quiet etiquette during the performance.
