For what is perhaps a first for Jonny B during his time at Über Rock, he found himself heading down to Manchester to see an artist who recently held the number one slot in the ÜK album charts – Frank Turner And The Sleeping Souls. JB has always found that Turner appeals to a real variety of fans due to his blend of folk music and punk tendencies over his 17-year solo career, and the lineup for this show really does reflect that. We’ve got Mash P – a young hip hop artist from Sierra Leone who has managed to get a scholarship in the ÜK (with a little help from Turner), Truckstop Honeymoon, a folk/country duo, and Pet Needs – who had their recent album ‘Primetime Entertainment’ produced by Turner and which will appeal to those who are more punk inclined. Turner is a man who is absolutely passionate about music and touring, so it’s no real surprise that he was using this tour to showcase these up and coming artists and friends.
