well hello there! pleased to meet your fine self. here are some songs wot i wrote. they were all spanglified by dave armstrong at dam studios on the lovely-but-frustratingly-bypassed tiny isle of man. you might have flown over our rock on the way to america? but i doubt you'd have been able to see us - we're mostly obscured by rain. and motorbikes. and migrating geese...
musically, i would ideally like to be rockin yr socks off in a funky, homemade, eclectic kinda way, not unlike beck, imogen heap, athlete, the bees, simian, maximo park, blur, radiohead, simple kid etc etc etc, but being just a girl armed witha guitar and a slightly delicate voice (pah!) it just don't come out that way. gawdamn it. so you get what you have here. still, would love to know what you think of it.
have recently started gigging the material with a full band (gasp!), under the name of Side Project (which is me, Rob Cross on Other Vocals/guitar, Dave Armstrong on bass and Shane Kerwin on drums/percussion) which is usually like a pot luck supper of a gig - we'll do a few eclectic covers, then a few songs by me, then a few songs by Rob, then some more covers - you get the idea. i'm also damn proud to be a member of Anna Goldsmith's band - doin a bit of doo-wop backin singing/acoustic guitarring for the extremely talented lass (annagoldsmith.com - there's a video clip of 'the band' playing this year's bigwheel blues fest in my videos section).
m'dayjob is for runningmedia.com, the management company wot looks after Corinne Bailey Rae and future blues legends Back Door Slam. i'm also occasionally an indie stylee dj for energyfm. which is nice....thats bout it really! there's a much lengthier biog on m'other website. thanks then, tata x
