   About Jo Mango

“Jo Mango is uniquely gifted, as a musician and as a performer. She writes the most beautiful songs and her sense of fun in life has made this last year that I have been on the road with her a luminous one. Kind, original, musical and clever, I know Jo will go far.“ Vashti Bunyan

It’s safe to say Scottish multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter Jo Mango has had an incredible few years. Since 2007 she has brought her unique collection of instruments and sounds to collaborations with luminaries such as Vashti Bunyan, David Byrne and Devendra Banhart in venues from the Carnegie Hall in New York to a greenhouse in Glasgow. She has co-written beautiful songs and collaborated on tours and performances with Lambchop guitarist William Tyler (aka Paper Hats), Vetiver, Adem, Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble and Richmond Fontaine to name but a few.

Her rising acclaim has rested on an unusual mix of talented multi-instrumentalism, haunting childlike vocals, exceptional lyricism and a talent for mashing unique collections of accompanying sounds – from African finger pianos to electronic autoharps mixed with traditional acoustic guitar and harmonium. Her debut album Paperclips and Sand was released in 2006 on her own label - Lo-Five Records. That year she and her band played shows across the globe beginning with a live session on USA tastemaker Nic Harcourt’s KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic radio program, continuing with concerts in LA, New York, Australia, a sell-out show in Tokyo followed by numerous appearances at South By South West in Austin, Texas. She appeared on MTV Australia and Scottish Television in session on BBC2’s Rapal as well as performing live on BBC Radio 2 (as Good Morning Sunday’s featured artist), the BBC World Service and BBC Radio Scotland..

On returning home in 2007, Jo’s first single My Lung was voted by BBC Radio 2 listeners as Single of the Week on the Radcliffe and Maconie show. Gigs followed into 2008 and tours with Vashti Bunyan in whose band Jo is a mainstay.

Since then, Jo has been working on what is to be a really stunning second album (to be finished in late 2009). Producing this nu-folk gem is Adem Ilhan (Fridge and Adem)

Hey Jo,

I hope all is well with you. I've finally made it back to Ireland and am enjoying the bird life in my garden. I was playing you in my friends shop today and a group of girls from the states were in asking who you were and where they could find your music, thought you'd like to hear that.

Also I noticed that calum's myspace page is called calm -- another seriously strange connection we have, those are my initials and I have been using calm for my business name ... we three must be tapping into the same thought and inspiration pool.

I should get down to editing the botanics stuff soon, so will send you the file for a preview. 

If you have a moment check out my website www.catleemarr.co.uk  -- still needs a bit of work but it's getting there.

Hope all is well and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Lots and loads of love

Cat xx
