Far Wider has its roots in UK rock bands but now we also hook up online with musicians from all over the place.
So we’re a very experienced outfit - and more like a collective than your average band.
Our sound has been compared to Beth Hart and Amy Winehouse. But we also love rock and blues heroes like Nina Simone, Annie Lennox, Janis Joplin...
Our featured singer is Geneva. She’s a hugely experienced singer who’s worked in pop, rock and soul and even had an international EDM hit!
But she won her biggest audiences when, as part of Belle Amie, she powered through to the 4th round of X Factor. And here’s a great story about how she led a rebellion against Simon Cowell’s naff choice of song! youtu.be/138FCMOBZVM
That broadcast video has Louis Walsh taking Geneva’s side (probably just to wind Cowell up) and shows how pissed off Cowell was (and he’s not a guy to cross!) But they dug their heels in.
And yes, they won through to the fourth week of the show!
Yah boo Simon!
