Gaylene and The Undertakers

About Me

Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
This is a work in progress :)
Spanning many years
There are many versions of Gaylene and the Undertakers
this is a project whereby Gaylene's poetry is set to music
the undertakers are people chosen by Gaylene to collaborate with her to make some quite unique and hopefully interesting music.
The 1st version of Gaylene and The undertakers was in 1995
recorded "She could cause Death" Geraldine single and picture disk
the the 2nd version was in 1996
the 3rd version will be in 2007 - note this is primarily a recording venture/ studio band.
Even though this is primarily a site for "My" band
- I will also be posting my band reviews here - in my 'blogs'
and showing the band photo's that I take here too - in my 'pics'
- I hope you enjoy :)
If you are going to copy or use the photo's taken by me all I ask
in return is that you credit me with having taken the photo
Cheers!
