In 1928 Hampshire was blessed. 9 Months after Primrose and Egerton Groves returned from their annual visit to the Coughton Court Cheese and Pickle Festival, a star was born. Spending his formative years training in the Andes to become a world-class pickle-whittler, Norman Tiberius Groves returned home after word of his father’s tragic passing, and settled back in Bentley as the man of the family home. It was years later that a chance mishap in the Bentley Village stores would change Norm’s life forever. His then wife Ethel had sent him into the village to buy some beans, but after taking a spill from atop his trusty penny-farthing, Norm hit his head. After a few sherrys he realised that he had suddenly gained the powers of Stew Jazz.

Best rapper in the Hampshire / Surrey area.

Described as somewhat of a hip-hop supergroup The Charming Associates formed in 2006. Already big names in the Holybourne underground rap scene, they have all achieved success as artists in their own right. Dayne-z had a cult classic with his debut singe ‘The Medstead Yodel’. Gorgeous Greg aka Cake Dogg or King Rat as he is affectionately know within the crew had a big hit back in the 2000 with his ballad ‘Dancing With The Savage Bastard’. And Richy Rich has been freestyling for years battling some of the best MCs around the GU34 area.

Henry writes and performs solo and with long-time collaborator Bookkeeper (aka Craig Lockwood). Music started at the age of 14 with bands around Reading, including new wavers Hazzard and The Moonwalkers, who shared the same production company as Gary Numan. Blues music took over for the next 20 years with The UK Blues Project and then a move to Winchester gave a complete change of direction through the legendary Railway Inn - the starting point for acts like Razorlight, Frank Turner and Hannah Williams. Henry is now creating and reimagining songs that encapsulate the last 15 years as a solo artist and collaborator.
