Like a firework that lights the sky a mile-wide in circumference, Geordi La Force is an artist with the ability to entertain and excite in equal measure.

Play: Geordi la Force - The Baguette of Phil Collins on the green button

Just one of the musical delicacies that make up the eclectic banquet that is Hinterland, this one man/guitar/laptop combo provides songs that not only capture your ears but whose witty titles swindle your laughter too.

'The Baguette of Phil Collins' is not just a hint at his humour but a song that you know you will want to witness live: systematically defined beats and savage, wolfish guitar riffs.

He says of his inspirations: "I think it is a funny world we live in and there are a lot of things to laugh and poke fun at. I could try to call my songs something meaningful but it is instrumental so where does the meaning come from?"
