The Bartells

Known for their hooky, catchy, post-modern sound, Shropshire’s finest first emerged in 2014, headlining local festivals promoting their debut self funded EP ‘Standing on the edge’. They quickly gained a good following and learnt their stagecraft, going from strength to strength. The Bartells are led by the affable, charismatic Alfie Edwards with a split lead vocal set up with Mr Jonny Milano, the coolest rock n roll name in history. With The Dazzler thumping out his bass lines alongside drummer Rob ‘Ringo’ Evans, they create a wonderful eclectic sound that is like everything you’ve ever heard, but like nothing you’ve ever heard. In 2021, The Bartells added lead guitarist Ian ‘Ozzy’ Osborne to the line up, to strengthen their sound, changing the band to a five piece guitar driven outfit. Their debut EP has been played on radio stations all over the world and they have fun whenever and whatever they play, which is part of their charm. With well over a half million views on their videos across their platforms, the band is going from strength to strength breaking records on social media platforms such as ‘The Narrowboat Sessions’ Following lockdown, the band has gathered momentum supporting 90s heroes Cast and Inspiral Carpets. The band has played numerous festivals around the UK and has recently played at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. Keen as mustard, daft as a brush, but sharp musicians who know how to put on a show
