Bio
Hailing from the the South West of Ireland, Villy Raze grew up in a small town surrounded by lakes, fisheries, horse racing grounds and farmyards. Villy was always enthusiastic about music and after hearing Nirvana in his early teens he decided to buy a guitar and learn all their songs.
After finishing school, Villy then moved to Liverpool and lived in a recording studio which was also a refuge for local creatives and general nutters. It was here that Villy learned his craft and where he formed the seminal group The Dead Class. In the ensuing 6 years he would spend his time touring worldwide clocking hundreds of gigs and releasing 3 studio albums along the way.
Since the demise of The Dead Class Villy has been busy writing, recording, collaborating with other bands and also playing bass for the pop punksters Sheepy who have been championed by 6music and other national radio stations and us.
Villy’s live shows are proving to be very entertaining, sometimes just a man and his guitar and often with a backing band, either show is intense with a lot of humour and storytelling thrown in the mix.
