1. A band from mid Wales

1. The Ride are an up and coming band from mid-Wales. They hail from around a town called Knighton and formed in 2004.

They are a 4 piece band consisting of Stefan Mohamed on vocals and occasionally flute, David Bennett on bass guitar, Jake Owens on guitar and John Beavan on drums.

They are very much a funk/ rock group playing covers of various songs, such as: Blur's "Song 2" and Jimi Hedrix's "Fire". They do perform their own tracks too, notably the "Project 12", "Ultimatum" and "Take it up".

They have played many local gigs, which are always memorable, most famous of which (Leintwardine, save the children charity event), the fire alarm went off during their performance of "Fire", due to maybe excess use of the smoke machine... or perhaps brilliance? Who knows.

These guys have a bright future ahead of them.
