Rockin’ The Bowl – Sheffield, Don Valley Bowl – 10/12 September 2021

Large opening doors onto the external covered patio all add to the utility of the venue. As always, the stage setup is very good with good lighting and sound gear. Well done everyone who has made this happen…

Yes, there are still some restrictions in place in some parts of the Über Kingdom, but the signs are increasingly positive, not least in terms of the summer festival season being up-and-running again, and the light on the horizon is growing ever brighter – and it’s not just ‘cos we’re being blessed with a rare (occasionally) sunny summer!

If you’re looking for your new favorite alt-rock trio, look no further! Kent-based Dohny Jep (what a great name!) are here to deliver their unique blend of synth infused rock to the masses. Steve M has always been a firm believer in quality over quantity and this four track EP titled ‘This Is Love’ is just that.
