Doug’s Bar Sessions - Wes Finch, Ben Clempson, Tim O’Connor

In the spirit of Doug Armstrong’s legendary original music nights, we bring to Rother Street Arts House a new intimate monthly singer songwriter evening from Doug’s Bar.
Ben Clempson is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Leamington Spa. He is known for his work in the folk-blues-rock genre, frequently drawing direct comparisons to the virtuosic folk-jazz soundscapes pioneered by John Martyn. One-half of the musical duo Clemency, Ben has been praised for his percussive guitar playing, soulful vocals, and original songwriting.
Tim O’Connor is the lead singer and songwriter for London/Coventry indie-rock trio The Way After. Following critical praise and BBC Introducing airplay for the 2025 mini-album Still To Breathe, expect a set of melodic, 60s-inspired indie-folk for fans of Elliott Smith, R.E.M, and The Beatles.
Hosted by Wes Finch
Literate indie pop, Americana, folk and blues all feature in the distinctive output of Coventry singer-songwriter Wes Finch. Recent times have seen him develop a more electronic and digitally inspired brand of music under the name The Silver Wye. He also plays bass and sings in the group WLDFLWRS, who perform original material and have developed a show based on the music of a group called The Band and their The Last Waltz film and concert.
