Live Music

Hamish Stuart Band (Swansea Jazz Club))

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Hamish attended Queens Park School in Glasgow and left to form as lead guitarist his first professional band, the Dream Police in 1964. Probably best known for his work as the original lead singer/guitarist with The Average White Band, Hamish Stuart has had an illustrious career as both songwriter and performer. He has worked with the likes of Diana Ross, George Benson and Chaka Khan (for whom he wrote the No. 1 chart hit 'Whatcha Gonna Do For Me') culminating in six years with the Paul McCartney Band. Although still guesting in other people's bands, since '94 he has also led his own group, which is a supergroup in every sense of the word. He continues to be highly active on the scene, working not only with his own band but making guest appearances with the likes of Ringo Starr and Bill Wyman. In July 2015, Stuart reunited with his AWB bandmates Malcolm "Molly" Duncan and Steve Ferrone to form The 360 Band. This is in essence one third of the original Average White Band. They released an album titled Three Sixty in 2017 and have been performing live together along with supporting musicians. Since 2019, he has toured as a featured member of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. In recognition of his unique contribution to music, Stuart was awarded with a BASCA Gold Badge award in 2016.

Sump + Wild Eyed, Wicked & Oblivious + Dark And Twisties

SUMP are one of Swansea's most mysterious bands. Sounding unlike any other local band, when asked for a description we were simply told: ‘Bon Jovi meets Iron Maiden’ Don't be fooled though. Incredible musicianship, soaring vocals and catchy hooks fit around a heavy yet melodic sound which touches on classic rock, psych, stoner and prog while still maintaining its originality. Not to be missed.

Last First Kiss

LAST FIRST KISS is an Americana, country, and bluegrass duo built on deep musical roots, lived experience, and a shared love for timeless songs. Blending tradition with raw, modern energy, the duo delivers heartfelt performances that honor the past while feeling fully alive in the present. Fronting the band is lead vocalist Sheryl Bard, daughter of legendary Ohio bluegrass musician Frank Bard, whose influence and legacy loom large in the Midwest roots music scene. Frank Bard was a respected figure in traditional bluegrass, known for preserving the genre’s storytelling spirit and passing its values down through generations. Music runs even deeper in Sheryl’s bloodline—her grandmother was an accordionist in the Ohio gospel group The Glory Land Travelers, bringing sacred harmonies and gospel tradition into the family’s musical foundation. Raised among bluegrass standards, gospel songs, and front-porch harmonies, Sheryl Bard carries forward a multigenerational American music legacy with a voice steeped in authenticity and soul. On guitar and backing vocals is Ed Solis, a versatile and seasoned musician known locally as the founder and bassist of The Rumrunners Southern Rock Experience. Formed at Bogart’s, The Rumrunners quickly rose through the Southern California music scene, performing at prominent venues including The Gaslamp and The Garden, earning a reputation for high-energy, roots-driven live shows. Solis brings a uniquely broad musical background to LAST FIRST KISS.
