He may be relatively late coming to the rock game, but Mark Hughes – no relation to the former Southampton manager! – is already making a big impression. Citing the likes of Radiohead, Beatles, REM, Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, Stone Roses, Nick Drake and more as inspiration, the singer-songwriter  has penned a bluesy folk song which gives full rein to his husky vocals. It is well worth a listen – and sounds like great radio material, if any programmers are listening in!

Expect to see Mark announcing gigs in the near future.

You can listen to 'The Day' below:
