Robert Vincent Band

Black Frog Presents at Social Club · Chelmsford

“The moment he started to sing I knew that this was something special” ~ Bob Harris OBE It is Robert Vincent’s powerful and soulful voice that has continually attracted acolytes such as Bob Harris, Paul Carrack, Robert Plant, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Announced as winner of UK Song of The Year at the UK Americana Music Association Awards 2025 for his track ‘Follow What You Love & Love Will Follow’ alongside a highly coveted nomination for UK Artist of The Year, Robert continues to enthral audiences and critics alike, showing his versatility as both a solo performer and with a full band. Most recently receiving the invitation to support Robert Plant & his and Saving Grace across their UK and European tour dates, there is an ever-growing excitement surrounding him, his captivating live performances, and his new album. The Liverpool singer/songwriter released his fourth studio album ‘Barriers’ in June 2024 to critical acclaim spending multiple weeks in the Country Music Charts nestled between Beyonce and Taylor Swift – but it was reaching the Top 10 of both the Independent Album Chart and Record Store Chart that really gave Vincent reason to celebrate, with critics re...

Black Frog Presents at Social Club · Chelmsford

Ashley Campbell, daughter of country legend Glen Campbell began her career playing banjo and keyboard in her father's band on several world tours and has found success as a solo artist in the country and Americana music scene; most notably with her debut single "Remembering" which she wrote for her father and is featured on the Grammy award winning and Oscar nominated album for the documentary Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me. Her original music has taken her all over the world, from China to Japan, from playing The Royal Albert Hall in London with Ben Folds as well as with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, to opening for Kris Kristofferson as well as playing at Carnegie Hall with songwriting legend Jimmy Webb. Ashley released her first album, The Lonely One, in 2018 which hit the Top Ten of the UK Country Chart upon release.

Wille & the bandits

Black Frog Presents at Social Club · Chelmsford

Wille and the Bandits have built a reputation as one of the most exciting and authentic live bands to emerge from the UK. Rooted in Cornwall, their music carries the spirit of a place that feels almost like the Deep South of the UK — miles from cities, shaped by wild coastlines, Atlantic weather, and a culture where individuality is survival. It’s a landscape that breeds grit, independence, and soul — and you can hear that in every note they play. The group features some of the finest musicians in the South West, each bringing world-class skill and fearless creativity to the stage. Wille’s slide guitar playing and voice his become the cornerstone of Wille and the Bandits’ sound, earning admiration from both fans and some of the biggest names in blues rock. “Wille is a superb slide player,” says Joe Bonamassa, while Beth Hart praises, “What a voice and some of the best songwriting you will hear.” His lap steel work carries fire, tenderness, and a sense of vast space — the sound of a musician who plays from the chest, not the ego. Another defining element of their sound is Stevie Watts on Hammond organ — voted UK Blues Instrumentalist of the Year — whose rich,...

Rhinos Revenge Plays Quo

Black Frog Presents at Social Club · Chelmsford

Rhino’s Revenge is the ‘side band’ of Status Quo’s bass player, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards. Status Quo’s drummer, Leon Cave, joined the three-piece band in 2023 and Craig Joiner of Romeo’s Daughter completes the line-up on guitar. The band has been busy touring to promote ‘Just Sayin’’, the latest studio album from Edwards, but is now taking to stages across the UK and Europe to perform a unique repertoire of Status Quo songs personally selected by Rhino to celebrate his four decades with the band. For the serious Quo fan, that makes his personal selection a fascinating prospect because the man choosing these songs isn't looking at Status Quo from the outside. He is part of its history. Rhino joined Status Quo in 1986 and has subsequently spent around 40 years as bassist, vocalist, songwriter and one of the great characters of the band. From the era of ‘In The Army Now’ onwards, that unmistakable figure with the flowing hair, huge bass sound and infectious stage presence has become woven into the fabric of Quo itself, appearing on albums and travelling the world as part of one of Britain's greatest rock ’n’ roll institutions. This isn't a tribute band attemp...

Martin Turner and his band return to the concert stages during 2027 for another evening of classic Wishbone Ash music. As lead vocalist, bassist and key creative force, founding original member Martin Turner was central to the critical and commercial success of Wishbone Ash’s most revered albums; his passionate vocal delivery, songwriting ability, and keen melodic sense being major components of the definitive Wishbone Ash sound. The definitive 1970s line-ups of Wishbone Ash – including its trademark harmony guitars - forged a unique musical identity that would produce some of rock music's best loved works and influence numerous successful bands, resulting in millions of album sales and concert attendances.
