The Stage @ The Greedy Flea

The Stage @ The Greedy Flea in May

A night of live local music coming to the Greedy Flea (Mercantile Flea) in Bitterne. £5 Tickets, for 5 local acts. 

Charlie Smith: My name might be common but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith a singer-songwriter from Hampshire, UK. My sound is chillingly sweet, raw, and emotive. In keeping my honest approach of recording with no unnecessary effects. Focusing on chords and melody above all else. I'm proud of my music not because it's perfect but because it tells a story.

D’ Kenison (Ged): A singer-songwriter for over forty years and a published author with a series of books ‘Neander and the Dark Matter. Over the years he has written music for his own and other bands, plus for two-stage shows performed in the Hoxton Theatre, London. With a blues/rock influence, D’ Kenison is a writing collaboration between Ged, Karl Ross and Ged’s baby brother James. And is a tilt of the soft cloth cap to the works of Charles Dickens. The songs, whilst light and groovy, are a comment on the injustice in the world today.

Fragile Lucy: Get ready for something a bit different. With her funky flamenco style, indie, geek-rock tunes, quirky song lyrics and awesome voice. Fragile Lucy armed with a tiny instrument and a massive personality really is one of the most unique musical acts out there. Her most popular songs “Vegetarian Ham” and “Techno Teddy” are a big hit at festivals and gigs. You may have seen her busking around the South Coast or playing online in recent times. Her latest single “Crazy Bout You” has been featured on BBC Upload and other local radio stations. If you haven’t heard of this ukulele wizard before you’re gonna be blown away. Always a fun-filled, energetic performance from a truly talented and inspirational artist.

Simon Maggs: With lyrics influenced by likes of Billy Bragg, The Smiths, Frank Turner and I Am Kloot, Simon’s songwriting draws on the folk tradition of songs concerning contemporary social issues together with reflections on his northern upbringing. Along with a few cheap rhymes and dubious puns, expect a protest song or two together with the occasional ‘boy loses girl’ tune and the odd cover.
