Wandering around the back streets of London writing dark and mysterious ditties. Then escaping to the country to reflect on geese and ghosts.
Jude's macabre and beautiful music and poetry has been compared to Marianne Faithful, P.J. Harvey, Nick Cave, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cocteau Twins, Lee Hazlewood and Kate Bush.
An eccentric English chanteuse, she draws on the decadent imagery of art history to fuel her peculiar craft. Wielding a satirical knife she slices open the flagging body of blues and folk traditions to tickle and amuse its still beating heart.

You sure do meet and hear a vast range of music hear - and I'm listening to some of yours!!
You asked where in London I'm from - well I've always lived close by, and call it my home town. I live far enough away to escape to the countryside. Was at the Tate Modern, Covent Garden and Marylebone on Sunday.
Is that you hanging upside-down from that tree branch? Cool pic if it is!!!
