Jonny Ash are a Wrexham four-piece consisting of brothers Callum and Dan Gaughran (frontman and bassist, respectively), lead guitarist Peter Roberts and skin-slapper Lewis Molyneux.
The last few years have seen them support and work with The Sherlocks, The Ks, and Shaun Ryder. After their last single ‘House Music’ received support from Radio X icon John Kennedy, 2024 looks set to be their break-out year.

Let’s see what they have been up to:
House Music
Blessed with a breathtaking do-or-die attitude, it conjures images of Arctic Monkeys exploding onto the scene. Molyneux’s drumming is relentless, causing Utterly relentless, allowing Roberts’ snarling psyche guitars to bristle with confrontation In an ecstatic game-changing moment of rock ‘n’ roll.
Rosies
As John Squire makes his triumphant return to rock ‘n’ roll with LG, ‘Rosies’ howling blasts of psyche demand that he allows the spotlight to be shared. Some licks fade into the ether; Roberts’ playing here destroys the ether with astonishing poignancy.
Callum’s vocals sprinkle an everyman quality over the otherworldly guitar parts—his heart and desperation to find meaning anchor Roberts's scintillating work.
