Pre and Post match entertainment for Newcastle

Rainy and the Dust will be performing in the beer tent behind the Novia Stand before and after the game against Newcastle.

Rainy has come a long way from the wind swept shores of west Wales where he first started out playing his music in surf clubs, pubs and festivals with his band 'Little Gaia'. A move to Bath in 2007 saw the forming of his new band, 'Rainy and The Dust'. With a warm heart and a cheeky smile these boys hit the live circuit running, performing at the likes of Glastonbury, supporting Martin Taylor at Darvel and playing many other stages across the UK, including the official Royal Wedding Celebrations in Bath. They became favourites on BBC Radio Bristol and in 2011, amongst 1000's of applicants; Rainy won the PRS magazine song writing competition.

Rainy' s music has been described by many as G-Love meets Dave Matthews meets Paul Simon meets Crosby Stills & Nash - in truth it is essences of the all above... and something else entirely! The afro- Latin, rock and reggae influenced grooves, infused with the positivity of Rainy's lyrics and tied together by an eclectic and laid back musical style, makes Rainy and The Dust one of the most watchable, listenable and dynamic bands you could hope to come across.
