''all the Joni Mitchell meets Radiohead comparisons, whilst understandable, don't actually do justice to Afterspark's craft. Cate Ferris's evocative word paintings demand attention in their own right; add to that their imaginative atmospherics, compelling harmonic ideas and the fact that it's all delivered with haunting, goose bumps on the neck, vocals...well... it all serves to create something truly extraordinary. Frankly, this is magnificent stuff'' Red FM "This spark is definitely in the ascendent" Brighton Source Magazine "[Cate's] crystalline voice is sweet, clear and heartfelt in every syllable uttered" badrobot.co.uk ''Biting songs that will make everyone sit up and listen'' Acoustic Sussex "Destined for great things, 4/5" threeweeks.co.uk ''We fell in love'' BBC Southern Counties Radio
I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o) It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)
I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.

We want to give something back to the artist's that play our events so we work on a point system where by you get a point for playing and another for bringing 10 or more people , these points will lead to practical services to get you to the next step such as photo shoots / music video's / support slots for name acts / recording time / digital single releases etc we have and are always seeking sponsorship in order to provide you with these ! Hope you can make one of these dates All gig's through Bar Bands are free to get in so no fleecing your mates to support you !
