   About Jenna
I'm taking part in a concert alongside Steve Knightley, Martyn Joseph, The Joyce Gang and Daniel Rachel in a show 'Music Against Domestic Abuse'. WATCH OUT FOR DETAILS OF A NEW TOUR WITH JENNA AND STEVE KNIGHTLY IN 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the tender age of nineteen, singer-songwriter Jenna already has a wealth of recording and touring experience behind her. Three years ago she co-wrote the haunting 'Seven Days' - one of the highlights of 'Show of Hands' 'Country Life' CD. Then with Steve Knightley and Mercury prize nominee, Seth Lakeman, she recorded 'Western Approaches'- a unique collaboration of the three West country songwriters. This led to a successful nation wide tour in 2004. Jenna's original songs are very much inspired by the sea and landscape of her native North Devon and accompanying herself on piano and guitar, she possesses an astonishingly mature voice and stage presence. last year Jenna recorded her debut album *Barefoot and Eager*. A 10 track album produced by Steve Knightley and recorded by Phil Beer. 7 of these songs she wrote herself. 2 of them were written by Steve Knightley and 1 of them is an acoustic version of Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here". She has just come back from a month long, naton wide tour with Steve (Who was promoting his new solo album "Creul River".) and now she has a load of gigs throughout the year which are constantly updated on her myspace! ALSO she has recently put together a band/ Trio called THE JENNA WITTS BAND with drummer, FRAZ KNAPP and bass guitarist ED NEWTON. This newly formed band will also be playing selected dates throughout the year. HER DEBUT ALBUM *BAREFOOT AND EAGER* IS OUT NOW!!!

Coombeshead Studios





Jun 11 2008 3:01 AM

Coombeshead Studios are now looking to take on summer 2008 recording slots. If you are in a band and need a professional recording, we offer sessions at just £12.50 an hour on weekdays and £20 an hour on evenings (after 6pm) and weekends. All this paid time can be spent recording - mixing and editing can be done afterwards at no extra charge. If you wish to arrange a session, please message us and we will give you a list of available dates. Check out our top friends for examples of the recording quality, and the ’music’ section to see who we have worked with!

We also offer CD duplication at between 75p and £1.50 per CD for most requirements. This gets you a case, a print directly onto the CD face (no stickers!) and inlays. Contact us with your requirements for a quote.
Recordings do not have to be made at Coombeshead to qualify for this offer - if you already have recordings let us know and we can provide duplication for you!

Hi Jenna, I had a really good time last night listening to you at the Seagate. I would recommend that anybody who has not seen you perform live should do so at the earliest chance. Thanks for keeping me entertained,

Yep - that's where he went - you were only a girl - but then I guess you wouldn't remember someone who is probably 7 or 8 years older than you!

Ah well.

Well, if ever you are in the Trowbridge area - pay us a visit at West Wilts Vineyard. Would be cool to see you!

Even to play a gig near Trowbridge would be cool - so are you coming to Pump again this year??

God Bless

Hey Jenna,

Do you know Jamie Prowse? He used to go to your church and now he goes to mine. We got talking about you and how I had seen you at Pump last year and he was saying - NO WAY! That sounds like the girl who used to sing in my church. Small world eh?

By the way, is Woolacombe in the Cotswolds? If so, it must be a really beautiful area. I spent some time driving around the Cotswolds about 10 years ago and really enjoyed the whole area.

Have a great week!
