  • Bio

    Ben Jones ( Lead vocals , keyboards ) and brothers Owen ( Guitar ) and Alan Argent ( Tenor Saxophone) are the core members of the Anthill Music Project, born out of the formation of a London version of the original Welsh band, which continues to be a creative force out West. The addition of London musicians Marc Coker ( drums ) Keith Williams ( bass ), Anthony Wise ( Tenor / Baritone Saxophone ) and not to mention the beautiful sounds of 'The Honeys!' on vocals, (Yula tefa and Pinar Nazlivatan) has brought wonderful new dimensions to an already original and edgy sound. Funk, Reggae, Soul and Jazz provide a palette of sounds that enter the music but don't tie it down longer than necessary for each idea. The songs are deep, simple and colourful, layered over uplifting grooves that have been trained to hit the spot. Ben and Owen's combined approach to songwriting and arranging, as joint musical directors means that each track is hammered into shape from opposite ends of the creative spectrum, resulting in something both original and infectious. With every show Anthill seek to lift the soul, and go at it with skill & heart. Some Gigs we've played are: China White, Piccadilly London, Punk, Soho, London The Macbeth Hoxton London, The Others Stoke Newington London, The Toucan Club Cardiff, Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff, The Queens Hall Narberth (SPAN Arts) Celtic blue Rock Festival, Tenby Arts Festival, The Blues Bar Witthington Manchester, Numerous Private Parties, weddings etc in Pembrokeshire, London & Elsewhere, Shane Mcgowan support gig in Narberth Pembs.........Oh and we're from Wales so that's a flavour to our roots too!
