Labels for Jam Jars

LOGO DESIGN - http://www.emma-gray.com/, Becky's sister! Fantastic work!

Labels for Jam Jars consist of Becky and Phil. Phil plays a lyrical rhythm guitar and sings with heartfelt emotion. He is also the main songwriter of the duo and is learning the mandolin. Becky plays the bass guitar, bongos, djembe and is attempting to learn the piano properly. She also sings with a combination of styles under her belt that bring a certain quality to the songs (Becky sings like the love child of Julie London and Dusty Springfield).

Due to the birth of their lovely daughter Agnes in January, Labels for Jam Jars are currently taking time out from the live music scene until life is a little more settled. They hope to get back to gigging at some point in the autumn of 2008. During this break they will continue to work on their album which they hope to release at some point in the next year.
