Eclipse

• Pop

Eclipse started life in 2001 when founder members Jay Thurlow (piano, vocals) and Guy Sweenie (guitars, vocals) began writing songs along with Fred Sweenie - the band manager and musical director.

Eclipse is a 4-piece band comprising of vocals, piano/keyboards, guitar, bass guitar and drums.

Our music encompasses a wide variety of styles, mainly due to The Beatles being one of the bands biggest influences. At live gigs we blend a selection of our own songs with cover songs from our favourite and most influential artists such as The Beatles, Oasis, Elton John etc.

Eclipse are unsigned.

Eclipse are currently writing their 2nd Studio Album.

ARTRIX

Artrix is an Entertainment centre in Bromsgrove, West Midlands offering comedy, family shows, music, films, theatre, exhibitions and workshops.

Artrix is a versatile multi disciplinary arts centre with a 301 seat auditorium, a spacious dance studio, meeting rooms and a visually stunning foyer/gallery. The auditorium’s balcony and side galleries give it an unusually intimacy, while its flexible central seating can be retracted to provide a dance floor. A striking feature of the building is its height and structure, which provide the acoustic qualities needed for chamber and orchestral music one session, and for amplified music or surround sound cinema the next.
