Joined by some amazing vocalist friends and with the freedom to move in and out of different genres, the music of ZEN JUDDHISM was a different proposition for music reviewers and listeners alike, but was well received by both, on record and in electric live performances.Charlie SmithMy name might be common, but my style is alternative. I’m Charlie Smith, a singer-songwriter from Romsey, Hampshire. I perform solo and have experience playing and hosting my own independent shows at venues such as The Railway Inn, Flack Manor Brewery, and The Platform Tavern. I am super passionate about grassroots music and regularly participate in action to grow my local scene. Fiercely independent, I record and produce all my music with a true DIY ethos. In April, I hosted six gigs in England as part of my music venue trust fundraiser tour. I managed to fundraise £575, including events in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool & Leicester.New TideNew Tide is a band from Bournemouth, UK, formed in 2023.
