HAZE
Despite building their reputation as a progressive rock band, Haze have always drawn on a wide variety of influences, ranging from pop, rock, folk, and metal to meandering psychedelic jams & tightly structured prog epics. Formed in Sheffield in the late 1970s by brothers Chris & Paul McMahon, they established their reputation as one of the hardest working underground bands of the ‘80s and have continued to perform regularly ever since, including weekly live-streamed concerts during Lockdown.
Their latest studio album, The Water’s Edge, was reviewed in Prog magazine: "The result is the best sounding Haze album yet, with the band free to concentrate on playing the music, and the inevitable constraints on studio time also helping to bring out the free-flowing, seat-of-the-pants improvisation which has made Haze one of the best live acts around." It’s also their fastest-selling album to date, proving that Haze’s legendary reputation is richly deserved.

TIGER MOTH TALES
Tiger Moth Tales is essentially the brain child of Nottinghamshire based musician and writer Peter Jones, who has been involved in the music industry performing around the UK and recording his own material since the late 90s.
At fifteen months Pete lost his sight due to Retinoblastoma. From an early age he was into all things musical and at the age of four had his first piano.
Peter composed from an early age, usually in the form of improvisations which he would capture on his cassette recorder.
"I would often write songs or instrumentals around a story or event. Sometimes these could be quite long pieces with unconventional structures. I suppose I always had a free form approach to composing, and although I didn't know it at the time, I was writing music with progressive leanings from the age of eight well in to my teens."
At the beginning of 2013, Pete started work on a new project. This took the form of a concept album, and it was the first progressive music he had written since he was a teenager.
Since that album he has recorded and produced his own original music under various names including Tiger Moth Tales. He also works with the band Red Bazar and has recorded with the Colin Tench Project. He performed on the 2015 remake of Steve Hackett's Spectral Mornings. In 2016 he was selected to join Andy Latimer's band Camel .
He worked with band Barock Project on their 2017 Detachment album, singing lead vocals on 2 songs, contributing lyrics to 3 songs. In 2021 he also joined the progressive rock band Cyan. In 2023 he also joined the progressive rock band The Bardic Depths as a full-time member. His vocals can also be found on Lee Abraham's albums.
Since 2015, Peter has presented a bi-weekly radio show on Progzilla Radio, entitled Tales from the Tiger Moth.
