Chube at Bridport Arts Centre

Bridport Arts Centre

Chube is a young Fusion band based in Cardiff led by Ben Creighton Griffiths (Electric Harp/Keys) with Ashley John Long (Basses) and Jon Bradford-Jones (Drums). They draw their inspiration from a wide variety of artists and genres and write electro acoustic music that pushes the boundaries of their instruments. The harp features prominently in performances, and Ben uses effects processors to take the harp from its regular, classical sound, to a rock guitar through distortion, an ambient synth through delays and phasers, and much more. Combined with innovative percussion and groovy bass riffs it all goes to creating a totally unique blend of Jazz Fusion.

Tracks by Chube, including their remix collaboration with BESPA, have been played on BBC Radio Wales Introducing with Adam Walton, BBC Radio 3 Jazz Now, BBC Cymru with Lisa Gwilym, and radio Cardiff multiple times. In 2019 Chube was a finalist for the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award.

Upcoming shows include their London debut at Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, the Bridport Arts Centre, and their European debut at the new ‘Stella Matutina European Harp Festival in Austria in 2025. Chube released their second EP in August 2023, breaking new ground, garnering positive reviews, and developing their sound and blend of styles even further.
