Chances in life for people. Keep on keepin on!
Lead singer Jamie Fineran, originally from the Isle of Wight, moved away aged only 16 to join the armed forces. During his time in the army he served during heated conflict in Ulster, Northern Ireland. It is through his time in the forces that Jamie penned a book of lyrics and songs he would eventually bring with him to The Kurves.
Originally a duo, Jamie and Chris, The Kurves were formed in August 2007. In less than a year The Kurves have written enough material for three albums, received airplay on Local, and BBC national radio – becoming Isle of Wight gig favorites in the process. The Kurves have also played a host of festivals in 2008 – culminating with performances at the ‘Wight Air Festival’ alongside The Pigeon Detectives and The Operators – and BBC Radio 1’s ‘Bestival’ alongside such diverse acts as The Human League, Gary Newman and Pendulum. In 2009 the kurves started of in full motion and again played the Bestival alongside such acts as the kooks, Lily Allen and many others. Since then the kurves have had a break but 2010 will see the guys come back with some mighty songs and fill a host of Gigs throughout the Country. They all look forward to seeing you very soon.
Guy Page Trio are a slightly leftfield indie band from the Isle of Wight. Over the past few years they’ve released 2 EPs and played countless gigs between home and London. Local initiatives have seen them lucky enough to play at major festivals (Isle of WIght and Bestival), and the summer of 2010 will hopefully see them spread their wings a little further with the hope of promoting their debut album which is set for release this spring.
