"WELSH singer-songwriters Lilygreen and Maguire will bring their melodic, acoustic sound to communities across Wales from April 16- 20 in a series of free, open-air gigs at some of the country’s most famous locations and landmarks, including a beach, a stately home a castle and an amphitheatre.
Friends Jon Lilygreen and Jon Maguire, both from Newport, who have just released their debut single ‘Come On Get Higher’, on the Warner Music label, began their ‘Big Welsh Busk’ tour in Wrexham city centre on Monday, April 16, and will play their final gig at their hometown of Newport.
Wednesday, April 18: SWANSEA AND BARRY
Thursday, April 19: CAERPHILLY AND CHEPSTOW
Friday, April 20: CAERLEON / NEWPORT AND CARDIFF
The duo who are both in their early 20s have already built up a solid fan-base after supporting X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs in his recent arena tour of the UK and Ireland.
They are also well known within south Wales’ music scene: Lilygreen as a covers performer and Maguire as a local music producer and member of a rock band. They came together in 2009 when their talent was spotted by Warner Bros. Music who soon secured the duo with a lucrative record deal. Their debut album will be released later this year.
Jon Lilygreen said: "These gigs are going to be great fun for us and our fans. I can’t wait to grab my guitar, pitch up at some fantastic locations and play free acoustic music in the open-air. It’s going to be quite a challenge visiting so many venues across Wales, including a beach, a prom, a castle, a mountain and our hometown, Newport, hopefully our fans will come and support us and cheer us on."Jon Maguire added: "We love writing and performing our songs and thought we’d like to give our fans a special preview of some of the songs that will be on our album. We’ve played in front of thousands of people in big arenas but this Big Welsh Busk will be quite different – we’ll be up close and personal with our audiences and that will be an intimate experience.""
