About Us
Chube
The group was set up by Ben Creighton Griffiths (Harp, Keys) and Matt Williams (Drums, Engineering) in 2015. They wrote their first tracks in 2016 before being joined by Aeddan Williams on bass for the recording of their first EP in summer 2017, before releasing it at an exclusive launch show at Tiny Rebel Cardiff in 2018. Since then then project has gone from strength to strength. After the Covid pandemic Ben was joined by Ashley John Long on bass and Jon Bradford Jones on drums, whilst Matt remains with the group as a producer and engineer.
Chube have performed at a number of festivals including Harp on Wight, Aberjazz, and Wall2Wall Jazz Festivals - giving a unique recital with special guest Dennis Rollins MBE on the trombone at the latter. They have also performed at Tiny Rebel Cardiff, the Black Mountain Jazz Club, Gwdihw Cardiff, Matt & Phreds Jazz Club Manchester, Flute & Tankard Cardiff, and Worley's at the Swan Stourport. Chube were due to perform in 2020 at the Manchester Jazz Festival, World Harp Congress Cardiff, and Cambridge Jazz Festival.
Tracks by Chube, including their remix collaboration with BESPA, have been played on BBC Radio Wales Introducing with Adam Walton three times, BBC Radio 3 Jazz Now twice, and BBC Cymru with Lisa Gwilym once. In 2019 Chube were finalists for the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award.
Chube are currently in the process of recording their second EP - promising greater experimentation of their genres and instruments, and bringing a truly unique sound to listeners worldwide.
