My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 28/06/2006
Band Website: this is it
Band Members: KERRIE GARSIDE - Lead Vocals & Guitar (and a little lap slide)

WENDY WALKER - Vocals - congas, percussion

JEANIE FORDHAM - Vocals - Shaker, tambie, small drum

JUDE HULSON-CALVERT - violin

Influences: Anyone who does something different - those who put themselves out there and do their own thing with STYLE . . .

Especially influential are the wonderful people who take the time to let us know what they think:

"I wish I was doing that!"

"I want to book you (at our club) 'cause that's what I call ENTERTAINMENT"

" . . . play more Van! . . . play more Van!"

" . . . I deserve a golden tambourine! (hic!)"

" . . . thankyou so much for making my 50th birthday party such a wonderful night. Everyone had a great time and lots of guests have passed on their comments about how great you were. . ."

"I was wearing your Tshirt to day for an event at the Japanese Gardens so many people made a positive comment about it. a girl said to me GREAT BAND! . . . keep on rocking girls!!!"
Sounds Like: A shiny spin on familiar tunes with fan-forced harmonies. Think Maroon 5 to Van Morrison, Corrs to Creedence, Badloves to Bananarama : if we like it - we do (musically speaking, ofcourse!!?)

We are pretty excited about adding some originals now too - yay ! :)
