The razor sharp raconteur and songsmith, a carrier for a punk/post punk/folk is back!
This is the official “Fairy tales and Lies” Album Launch! The new album last year at Alma Vale Studio in Clifton.Engineered by brilliant and highly respected Luke Cawthra.
With the comradeship of the uk`s most magnificent powerhouse rhythm section of John Langley on drums and Mike Youe on bass, Rita is going to deliver a night of glittering, high-energy, rock'n'roll-fueled glory!
““ Bristol’s enduring riot grrrrl rock’n’roll banshee Rita Lynch needs to be seen to be worshipped. The St Paul’s icon of razor-blade guitar anthems is always essential viewing FFO: PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Screaming Females, Breeders, Ex Hex."“ HEADFIRSTBRISTOL.COM
Rita Lynch
After leaving school in the late 70s, Rita started her own band ‘Rita and the P*ss Artists' - an all-female punk band, and she has been making music ever since. A legend on the Bristol scene, Rita Lynch's songs are an explosion of sexual, religious, and social imagery driven by an energy that comes across just as strongly in an acoustic set as when she plays with her band. Known for her insurmountable stage presence, Rita performs with her three-piece band as well as solo and has spent time as guitarist for Bristol art-rock band the Blue Aeroplanes.

The Jesus Bolt
The Jesus Bolt are Hazel Winter and Gerard Starkie. Hazel Winter, described by Q Magazine as “The West Country’s first lady of noir-ish guitar blues” and Louder Than War, as, “…a low-fi genius being intermittently possessed by the spirits of Victoria Wood and Ian Dury “, played guitar for The Blue Aeroplanes in the early 90s and has since released a string of albums, produced numerous videos and published her first book of poetry , “I’m scared of the pig on The City Farm” in Dec 2018. When Gerard Starkie’s band Witness released the first of 2 albums on Island records in 1999 , The Times described his vocals as; ”imbued with that nebulous quality of soul, fragile, sensitive and exuding a dignified stoicism doubtless borne of experience".
