Brave Rival’s current line-up features vocalist Lindsey Bonnick, guitarist Ed ‘the Shred’ Clarke, bassist Billy Dedman and drummer Donna Peters. Their music leans on expressive vocals and muscular guitar parts while retaining the melodies that have helped the group build a following beyond the UK blues circuit.
Brave Rival at The Cluny: a four-piece on the road
The Newcastle date gives audiences the chance to catch the band in a smaller room rather than on a larger festival stage. Brave Rival have released two albums and earned recognition on the UK blues scene, with the 2025 awards win marking a significant point in the band’s recent run of live performances.
The Cluny’s official announcement names the four current members, and it is that configuration audiences can expect to see in Newcastle. Founding member Chloe Josephine has left the band; the group’s current live line-up should not be confused with earlier publicity photographs or older album credits.
The group’s mix of blues and rock places voice and guitar at the centre of the performance, with the bass and drums giving the songs their weight. An exact setlist and support arrangements have not been announced for this date, so the venue and promoter remain the sources for any later changes.

Advance tickets are advertised at £22.50 plus fees. The Cluny is on Lime Street in Newcastle’s Ouseburn Valley, a short distance from the city centre. Check the venue’s current access and travel information if you are visiting for the first time.
