Fiddle, Mandolin, Banjo, Flute, Harmonica, Background Singer, Saxophone, Trumpet, Violin, Acoustic Guitar.ABOUT
We have gained press and radio publicity over the last nine months, been booked for Rhythms of the World, Strawberry Fair, Cambridge Folk Club (tbc) and are gigging up to three times a week, sometimes more. Lively acoustic pop folk, original material. We have released a single which is on the Jackfm playlist ' When it Rains', we are unsigned at the moment ( this will change ) and are getting national play on specialist radio stations. We are an all girl band at present, 17yr olds. Need supplementary instruments who will have an option of working with us full time. Need people who's dream it is to be in an internationally touring( although that won't happen overnight ),respected crossover act. Confidence on stage and the ability to play / sing under pressure ( such as live on the radio or tv ) absolutely essential. Experience not necessary, just the motivation and desire. Competent musicians who can pick things up quickly. Songwriting skills not necessary. The band is made up of lively, quirky and talented musicians / singers. If you think you would fit in, have the drive and motivation to keep going for your dream when you are dead on your feet with tiredness, and are prepared to give up your life for your dream, please contact me, Helen Meissner ( manager ).

You would need to have your own instrument that was electro acoustic or that could have a pick up attached for larger gigs. Singers could use their own mic if they have one.
