Off the back of his third studio album INDI released in January going straight in at No.4 in the UK Album charts, a sell out stadium tour and what can only be described as one of the best performances RFestival has ever seen, our Scottish friend is back – bigger and stronger!
Known for his arresting, husky vocals and gritty, blues-infused pop/rock, DAN OWEN is a British alternative singer/songwriter from Shropshire, England.
In 2012 an online video of the young guitarist performing Bob Dylan’s “The Ballad of Hollis Brown” began to generate widespread attention. After a couple more years of relentless performing in which he began to include his own songs, he was signed to Atlantic Records in 2015 and put out his debut EP, Bad for Me, later that year.
Mike’s extremely unbelievable resemblance to Robbie, including his mannerism’s, his look, even his cheekiness on stage–not to mention his vocal similarity, (it’s actually quite spooky!)–are second to none, even down to the tattoo’s.
Mike has performed for many top clients and has also performed for the likes of Coldplay, Mel C and Edith Bowman, but singing with Robbie Williams himself at his Swings Both Ways concert at Leeds First Direct Arena is the highlight of Mike’s career., and recently again at the Come Together festival in 2025 which Robbie headlined. Mike also had the pleasure of performing at Robbie’s 40th Birthday Party at RWFanfest in Burslem where he sang with Robbie’s dad, Pete Conway, and performed his tribute show to hundreds of Robbie fans from around the world.
Having played all over the world as well as extensively throughout the UK their show is a non stop night of hit after hit. The band have performed for royalty, members of parliament, stars of stage and screen and many theatre’s with their fabulous show.

The Black Shucks have never been a band to stand still—and 2026 marks a bold new chapter. With the addition of Tyler on bass and Fin behind the drums, the group has sharpened its edge while pushing deeper into the raw, unfiltered energy that first defined their sound.
Tyler’s basslines bring a heavier, more deliberate groove, locking in with Fin’s dynamic, hard-hitting drumming to form a rhythm section that feels both tight and unpredictable. Together, they’ve reinvigorated the band’s foundation, giving the guitars more room to soar and the vocals more weight to cut through.
This renewed lineup has been hard at work in the studio, channeling their chemistry into a new album set for release in October 2026. Early hints suggest a record that blends grit with atmosphere – louder, darker, and more confident, without losing the restless spirit that fans have come to expect.
For The Black Shucks, this isn’t just a lineup change – it’s a reset. A new era, louder than ever.
