With electrical jump leads attached, this human dynamo could power a medium-sized town. He has an eye-popping vocal range, a hard-grooving band and has just published an album of his own with some dangerously dance-able original tunes"

MUSIC

Delivering the immediate injection of energy we expected, they didn’t disappoint. The band burst into life. As did Ashton. As did the sound. Horn lines aplenty, and vocals on point. It was a truly phenomenal way to start and bring a smile to everyone’s faces".  David Croker, Listen to Discover
