BEN WILLIS PLAYS THE DUBLIN CASTLE 13TH DECEMBER
Ben Willis will be playing the Dublin Castle on the 13th of december:
Check out what the promoter says about Ben and the other acts on the night!
Rhyn + Yvette
+ Ben Willis + Manuela Mogavero
Rhyn- four piece darling young boy alternative rock band with crunching guitars to the fore.
Yvette- Female fronted combo doing an understated soul pop thang- pretty pleasant, laid back, jazzy kinda vibes- somewhere between Linda Lewis and Minnie Ripperton.
Ben Willis-Singer-songwriter with strong soulful voice like a blue eyed marvin gaye in his what's going on period. Mainly acoustic but there's the odd bit of tasteful electric axe for texture.
Ms Manuela- songstrel with acoustic backing, very good voice, powerful but soulful.

GetDarkerTV #117 - SEVEN, PROXIMAS, IMPERIAL
Also this week Proximas played a set at the legendary instituion that is GET DARKER.
Proximas discovered his true passion lay with dubstep through Sheffield's well renowned club night The Tuesday Club. As a regular at the Tuesday Club, Proximas became acquainted with Tuesday club resident Andy H, who is one half of the brain behind First Word Records and has been an inspiration and been guiding Proximas to pursue his music further.
Never one to sit back and wait for things to happen, Proximas is a self taught producer who spent most of his time as a youth experimenting with music when he got his first copy of Sonic Foundry's Acid Pro.
He started off playing sets at campus and private parties back in his student days at the University of Sheffield. He then managed to secure s residency at urban nights around Sheffield.
After 3 years of playing at different venues and meeting artists he is ready to launch a mark on the music industry. His love for music and production started off as an outlet for expression, which evolved to be the guiding passion he strives for.
This is very much audible in his ability to capture the hypnotic and volatile essence of sound in a cultivated fusion of pure live instruments and raging modern day electronic synths. Proximas’ music trend reflects the fusion of different tastes and music choices of his listeners.
The sound he carries is intense with influences ranging from legends such as David Bowie and Quincy Jones to the infamous UK urban producers such as Shy FX, Skream, Benga, Maniac, True Tiger and Lewi White.
