About us


Formed in 2004, Marner Brown are five musicians who are making music exciting, energetic and raw again. Over the past three years they have played with and supported some great acts. In 2006 alone they were on a UK tour with The Feeling, supported Whitesnake (Hammersmith Apollo, May) and The Towers of London (ULU and 100 Club) as well as headlining the T4 Popworld Promotes Tour (Madame JoJos). 2007 has continued well well for the guys. Not only have they supported Babyshambles but they also beat 40,000 live acts to win Best Indie Band at the INDY music awards.

Marner Brown are an extremely tight outfit, both musically and visually. With such influences as: Led Zeppelin; The Rolling Stones; Jimi Hendrix; The Faces; Supergrass; The Stone Roses and Kula Shaker, Marner Brown have a lot to live up to. However, with these five collaborating to produce the Marner sound, they’re more than capable.

But don’t just take our word for it…

"Fiachra Kerrigan's distinct gravelly vocals, backed up by some seriously hot rock guitar playing are putting Marner Brown leaps and bounds ahead of the rest."
Gary Crowley; BBC London Calling

"This lot surprised us recently in London and we were really impressed by the way they sound. They're a bit Led Zep, a bit Stonesey, a bit Supergrass. They look good too; nice shoes, nice hair, nice attitude, a bit like Rod Stewart (circa1973) and, of course, we love a bit of Rod." Dirk Tourette (Towers of London, NME Recommender)

“When I first saw Marner Brown play, I was blown away by their presence and energy. They drew me in, in a way that hasn’t happened to me for an awfully long time. I can’t wait to start making a record with them in my studio.”
Hugh Padgham (Producer, Sting and Genesis)

Marner Brown are one of the best new rock bands I have ever seen…….they have the presence, dynamic and excitement far-reaching their tender years and great songs to match their outstanding image...they will go far and I’m proud to be involved from the beginning.” Rod MacSween (Head of ITB)

Marner Brown smashed the Astoria in December 07 supporting Ocean Colour Scene, leading Simon Fowler to label them their "best support in 17 years" and Steve Cradock said "Aaron A Grimes is currently the best young guitarist in the U.K. Steve has since asked to work with the band and the band have been offered almost every festival this year.

They have new tracks which have raised the bar and their live acts are becoming cult. Just ask Ronnie Wood..."awesome" and "one band I'm listening to at the moment is Marner Brown". (Word Magazine).

Upwards they go.
