BoardridersLive.com - Launch Night Review

On Friday 30th JULY 2010 - Ben Howard. Rob Sawyer. and The Wishbones launched www.BoardridersLive.com presented by Ydna Boardriders with a SOLD OUT gig at The Winchester venue in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. All 230 attendees were thoroughly entertained throughout the night by 3 outstanding bands, retro surf & skate visuals on the big screen and some were lucky enough to grab a Ltd edition deluxe / soundcheck ticket which proved to be pure gold ! See one of Ben's souncheck tracks here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpEvM1xX3L8 - more videos to come! Those that opted for the Ltd. edition tickets were privy to some truly exclusive access to the bands, sound check, signed Cd's and those that registered with BRL were glad to receive there drink on us ! But for most.. the music was enough, we personally have rarely heard a louder crowd than that present for this night. The que down the road at 8pm was evidence of the popularity of these bands. The next BRL / Ydna gig will be on October 16th with Gary Stringer and Jack Bessant of REEF ! and Matthew P and Wille and the Bandits - 3 headliners in one. See you soon. Ydna Boardriders.

    Ben Howard & Rob Sawyer
    Plus support
    Friday 30th JULY 2010
    Doors 7.30pm

    Ben Howard is currently amassing an army of fans all over the world. His laid back style often compared with Jose Gonzalez and Ray Le Montange is a blend of his own experiences and unique playing style. In the last couple of years Ben Howard has been on tour with Xavier Rudd throughout Europe, Jason Mraz in the US, Fink through Germany, Angus and Julia Stone through Europe and Sweden and is currently embarking on his own headline shows. He hit the French download charts earlier this year and is currently sponsored by Quiksliver as a musician.

    Rob Sawyer from Melbourne, Australia combines a raw, organic blend of punk folk, and hillbilly reggae! Rob’s song writing reflects a diverse scope of musical inspiration. Armed with a voice that has evolved strong and compelling, and the well-worn fret board of a much-loved guitar, illustrates the passion of an eloquent and enthused performer.

    Both Ben Howard and Rob Sawyer entertained the fans at the Boardmasters Beach Sessions 2009 in Newquay, they find themselves on the same stage again to launch Boardriders Live. A new website and more importantly a platform for performers, promoters and the Boardriders scene.
