G.R.E.Ed.S (Generating Rhymes to Engage the Enlightened Soul) is a British Nigerian Spoken Word artist from London. Quite well known and well loved within London’s underground live music and poetry circuits, G.R.E.Ed.S has been creating and performing glorious spoken word/music for over three years and it is simply about time this music reaches the masses.
Last Monday, indie pop band The Stow headlined at Cargo for the aptly named 'A Night with The Stow'. If you’re wondering who on earth The Stow are, you’re probably not alone. This relatively unknown band only popped up on the scene last year but whilst they could be considered rookies in the game, they’ve made some pretty impressive waves; having toured with VV Brown as a support act, performed at Glastonbury and been voted best live act at this years Camden Crawl.
The band is headed by front man Haydn, who writes and arranges the songs while Shi provides powerful vocals, backed by Dave on bass Mike on guitar and Will on drums. Fresh from their mini tour of the UK, the main aim of the Cargo gig was to showcase new material and perform some tracks from their debut EP, Just Another Band.
