Last night BBC introducing Beds, Herts and Bucks were broadcasting live from The Forum in Hatfield for their Hatfield Rocks gig, showcasing the musical talents of Rash LA, Declan McKenna and headliners: Franklin!
RASH LA
Rash LA kicked off the evening with some awesome harmonies and was then able to make it down to the Style bar for a quick interview on air with Gareth:

DECLAN MCKENNA
Also being local to Beds, Herts and Bucks is this boyo Declan!
Hopefully the next Ed Sheerhan in all his loop pedal glory, this one is for sure a guy to watch. He's got the whole 'one man band' kinda deal going on...
He even wore his 'Brazil' t-shirt to honour his latest single which has had plays on radio one.. and of course the standard gigging ripped knee jeans.... as you can see to the left stylishly modelled by Declan in a 'Jessarah' ripped knee sandwich.

FRANKLIN
Hard to believe that this was in fact the Franklin boys first proper gig, also debuting the talents of their brand new drummer Seb! Last time I saw the boys, I heard an acoustic duo, this time round was very different though - the drums being the final touch making this band complete -as they say, three's a crowd!
Aside from a hiccuped encore, where technical issues meant that their Huw Stephens tipped track 'Colours' couldn't be played (bloody machines always letting us down....), the guys did a FAB job. Set highlights include the sing along to 'Wet Blue Jeans', their cover of Mr Probs' 'Waves' and 'Drain' - a personal fave since I heard it at Three Counties last time they came in. ANDDD of course their latest track which they just dropped today on soundcloud, 'Cold Heart', which you can catch here:
Big things to come from these guys, I highly recommend seeing them live!
