Ok, what to tell you, well I have been singing forever, playing keys from 10 years old, guitar from 12, bass from 16 and have over the last two years have been inspired and encouraged to add hand percussion into the mix, congas, bongos, djembe etc. I have also started to learn my way around a drum kit - excellent fun especially when something has really made me mad!!!I also like to write my own material (tons of it) although I would hesitate to inflict that on your delicate ears! Actually, forget that - have a listen if you want .....Let It Go and Touch Me were both written July 2008, all writing, singing and playing of everything done by me in my little music room, and many thanks to Clive for trying very hard to make it sound better :-) They are rough recordings, but you get the idea I hope! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .I have been in duos, trios, bands, sung with choirs and orchestras as well as being in operetta and musicals over the last 20 or so years. (not telling you how old I am though!) I have been involved with just about every style there is, including punk, soul, ska, country, all levels of rock, pop, you name it. Dont be fooled by the history though, yes I will happily play and sing almost anything and will enjoy it too, but I am definitely a rock girl through and through . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I spent time playing bass for punk covers band "Sly Sean and the Sharks", writing, singing and playing keys for originals rock 5-piece "Steerforth", vocals for covers band "The Tease", vocals for "Cactus Jack" country project, vocals and rhythm guitar for "6Appeal", and did a roaring impression of Linda McCartney for Wings tribute band "Wingspan", singing and playing keys at The Adelphi and The Cavern over one memorable Liverpool Beatles weekend!
. . . . . . .I am currently part of an acoustic duo ("As One Does", on vocals and either bass or guitar) and a rock/acoustic trio ("The Unruly Mops", on vocals and bass) which occasionally turns into a four piece for bigger events (adding either keys or a sax) we could possibly even be persuaded to add both if needed.All my guitars are Daisy Rock (except for my Riff fretless bass). My percussion collection is mainly Pearl, with added headliner bongos.
I can also be found on Bass Girls Directory.Oh, and I do have a day job........I teach fitness - Body Pump, Body Balance, Aerobics, Step, Dance, Aqua etc................ I must have done something terribly wrong in a previous life :-) ............................................................
.........................................***UPDATE***
I have just rejoined the fabulous fun-loving Wingsbanned - goodness but those boys can sing! ............................................................
..........................................................Al
so in the pipeline for the very near future, a Classic Women duo with the very talented Laurie Gregory, and last but by no means least - my personal pet project, very close to my heart, an Annie Lennox Tribute - The Eurythmimics. ............................................................
...........................................Seriously now - there are not enough hours in the day! Just the way I like it!
