Red Bazar formed in 2007 as an instrumental trio featuring Andy Wilson on guitar, Paul Comerie on drums and Mick Wilson on bass and keyboards. The line-up released two albums, ‘Connections’ and ‘Differential Being’, and a three track EP, ‘Beyond The Ice Storm’. The
releases were well received by audiences and critics alike and the band developed a reputation for their live performances. To expand on the sound, the band recruited keyboard player Gary Marsh and soon after teamed up with singer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Jones.
During 2024 Red Bazar wrote and recorded the album ‘Blood Moon’ which is the most diverse album to date featuring songs more in the Prog Metal genre through to a classical guitar based track. It also features 2 instrumental tracks giving a nod to the original work from Red Bazar. The album is due for release in March 2025.
Following the completion of recording Mick decided to follow a new path and so we welcome Roman Dudovskij into the Red Bazar fold as bassist and backing vocalist.
Gigs for 2025 are now falling into line and the band are currently working on presentation of tracks from across the back catalogue as well as tracks from the new album. We very much look forward to performing to audiences over the course of 2025

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. Find out more at: www.facebook.com/HazeUK
