After forming in August 2014, Furian have wasted no time in establishing themselves as a UK alternative rock band and a real hope for British music. Since storming onto the Liverpool music scene with their debut single and video ‘Now I Know,’ they already have an EP and two UK headline tours under their belts. With much bigger prospects clearly in view and their newest single and video ‘What’s Up’ landing in 2016, believe us when we say that they have no intention of slowing down.

After masterminding UK independent record label and North West powerhouse ‘PYAR Records’ the Furian boys have been gaining constant growing attention not just for their explosive live performance and intricate, energetic songs but for their friendly and communal approach to being musicians, helping fellow bands wherever they can and always keeping positivity at the forefront of their operations. There aren’t many places in the United Kingdom that won’t welcome them with open arms and their influence and message is growing with each passing day. Having being asked to support bands such as 'Norma Jean' and ‘Vanity Draws Blood,’ after just a year and a half of existence, they have continually proven that they can entertain any crowd, with people regularly approaching them after performances, to get involved and show their appreciation of the music and atmosphere they create. In July 2016 Furian made their Kerrang Radio debut and caused a storm on Alex Baker's Fresh Blood Show, getting rave reviews after every play.

Furian are one of a rare breed of modern acts that know that music is about changing lives and having fun and not about money, egos or materials and each and every Furian fan is outwardly but not consciously reminded. If it’s a new and exciting act that you can truly get attached to that you are looking for then… you should look no further.

“Richard Kitson has quietly emerged as one of the best guitar pickers of his generation; one who marries blues and folk styles into a fresh new sound.” Folk Radio UK

"When I grow up I want to play guitar like Richard Kitson." Otis Gibbs

“Richard Kitson delivers authentic blues with a Yorkshire charm and self depreciating humour, belying the ease with which he plays. Top performer!” Martin Bedford - Honey Bee Blues Club

In 2014 Folk Radio UK described Richard Kitson as ‘one of the best guitar pickers of his generation’. Kitson has earned this reputation over a decade of honing his skills both as a solo acoustic performer and occasional band leader. Kitson’s love of the blues began when he heard the song ‘Bye Bye Bird’ by Sonny Boy Williamson II not long after he started teaching himself to play the harmonica at the age of eleven. A desire to learn the guitar soon followed. After pestering his parents for an acoustic guitar they relented and by the age of fourteen he was teaching himself to play under the influence of Bob Dylan, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, Rory Gallagher and Mississippi John Hurt. These musicians (among many others) helped Kitson develop his fingerstyle and slide guitar playing alongside his original song writing.

From 2001 Kitson began honing his performing skills in Sheffield folk clubs and other venues in and around South Yorkshire, often supporting established touring artists such as Wilko Johnson, Otis Gibbs, Peggy Seeger and John Tamms. In a typical set Kitson can be found playing classic country and delta blues covers by the likes of his aforementioned influences alongside his self-penned folk/blues style songs. A skilled raconteur, Kitson often embellishes his sets with humorous links and background stories to his songs.
