I'm a guitarist in a band named "The Eyres", here's a few demos of some original material and covers I've recorded! 

Oli Ng is a Singer-Songwriter from Crewe, Cheshire. Influenced by artists such as Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem & Tom Petty, Oli's Americana-Rock sound has seen him Tour relentlessly across the UK & Europe both Solo & with his Band.

His debut album 'Everything Is Impossible Until It Happens' is out 7th April.

The Eyres are a 4-piece Alt-Rock band from Crewe, Cheshire.

After sharing line-ups with acts such as Catfish & The Bottlemen, Mallory Knox, Less Than Jake and Heyrocco, The Eyres bring an intensity to their live performance, which is missing from many emerging artists.

The Eyres embarked on a Tour of the UK in 2015, including a Main Stage slot at Abersoch's Glass Butter Beach Festival as well as numerous airplay and live sessions on BBC Introducing from Stoke.

Four bassists, a singing drummer and a baby's head theremin. Their 'Poly Rhythmic Gumbo' has been described as 'the Swarfega you’re rolled in before your decomposing naked body is wrapped in clingfilm and displayed at the Tate Gallery… You have to see to believe….'
