The tracks featured here will be from my own band Girlboy Girl (bass, vocals) and other bands' tracks to which I have contributed violin and/or vocals. Bands/musicians not listed on the left, which I have worked with, are Beatnik Filmstars (including 2 Peel sessions), Steward, Jez Butler (a track on Songs from the Jet Set). I also co-wrote (with Jez Butler) and recorded the string part on the soundtrack to a 3-minute short film 'The Plot' by Matt Hulse for Mesh/Channel 4.
During the course of my involvement in music I have met some lovely folk, forged some lasting friendships and realised some ambitions. I also misplaced my appendix whilst merchandising for Beatnik Filmstars in Germany, played a benefit gig for a diabetic cat in Portland (USA), met Suzi Quatro coming out of the loos at Radio 6 (Forest Giants session), have tried to nap on various horizontal structures all over Europe and the USA and best of all–John Peel played some songs I wrote in Girlboy Girl on his Radio1 show! Please refer to blog for more info on this and more.
