Mark Arrend:  

‘Mark’s influences are early raw delta and Chicago blues, 60s garage, psychedelic folk and minimalist music.  Early this year he stumbled upon the warm and welcoming ‘Moth & Moon’ open mic encouraging him to start writing new songs again and made it his mission to write at a least one new song for each night. He will be performing some of these songs using his small but loud and proud Vox amp along with the obligatory and sometimes disturbing vintage echo…….‘
