The Reasoning

£10 Advance Buy Tickets
The Reasoning are a Cardiff-based seven-piece rock band, formed in 2005. The band features the song-writing talents of Matthew Cohen (bass), Dylan Thompson (lead guitar/lead vocals) and Rachel Cohen (lead vocals) - the latter having been voted Best Female Vocalist by the UK's Classic Rock Society for an unprecedented four consecutive years. Following the recruitment of guitarist Owain Roberts in 2008, a brand new line-up was established in 2009, featuring Jake Bradford-Sharp (drums), Maria Owen (acoustic guitar/vocals) and Tony Turrell (keyboards/vocals), who complete this outstanding group of experienced musicians.
With this recent recruitment, professional horizons for The Reasoning are very bright indeed, and it is with great excitement that the band embark upon this next stage of their increasingly successful musical journey.
