About Me

Zed and Proud..Say it out loudI joined the Serendeputies two years ago and spent the first twelve months trying to sing to an audience instead of the floor.Now I just about manage to sing without getting completly blotto and see any gig where I don't have to struggle out of a bush at the end of the nght as a big success (see the blog).I have now raided the teenage angst ridden poetry box and the band have helped me put some of the better efforts to music.The songs posted are not all the best quality, but just give you a taste of what we are doing. I hope they get you interested in watching us grow.We staggered out of the recording studio for the first time in Nov 2008 so have some clearer recordings but still have a lot to learn about performing and writing as a group. The Serendeputies disbanded in February this year but the core has reformed as Zed HEads. I have taken up lead vocals and discovered our lead guitarist (ex Junction), Pete Georgiou really has the nicest voice. We have taken a new direction and I am so excited and expect really big things in the coming year.I am not pretentious but hope that any one who ever wanted to join a bayannd but didn't have the guts can take the first steps and start singing again after watching this space Do it for love and fun... Love Ginger x x

I can talk about it now [mock Morrisy] but at the time it was terrible.

The Neppy Gig.  I couldn't talk about it at the time. I was so mad, over reacted if I am honest - but I was really mad. ....I turned up for the gig - great.  I had sorted out my nasty little drinky po...
