In session

Ross-on-Wye singer/songwriter Jack Morgan splits his time between busking and performing in a band.
He plays guitar as his primary instrument, but also plays drums and piano.
He's been singing and writing his own music since he was 9-years-old and his influences include Ed Sheeran, James Bay and Catfish and The Bottlemen.
“A great songwriter with deep heartfelt lyrics from somebody right at the beginning of their musical journey" - Andrew Marston.

On tour

His latest album is called Solo Elektro – but he doesn’t carry around a sole electric guitar on tour; Bewdley’s Gwyn Ashton is currently carrying EIGHT as he travels around Spain, Germany and the Czech Republic.
He’s been on the road a lot recently – only returning to the UK to get his MOT done on the "guitar mobile" – which is how he reaches all those countries.
During his career the ‘true blues player’, who is originally from Australia - where he tours every year, has been invited to play with Hubert Sumlin, Canned Heat, Walter Trout and Mick Fleetwood.
He’s opened for BB King, Status Quo, Mick Taylor, Buddy Guy, Rory Gallagher and Junior Wells – and Deep Purple’s Don Airey has played on two of his albums.
Most recently he’s been playing shows with The Troggs and speaks to us from his latest stop in the sunny climbs of southern Spain.
