View Kiss The Mistress's EPK

Kiss The Mistress was formed 18 months ago and in that time has moved from folk club floor spots to main act bookings. Their debut CD About Time, released on the 20th March 2009 is already receiving rave reviews and their CD launch at the famous Cambridge Folk Club a fantastic night, attended and enjoyed greatly by an appreciative audience who had traveled from across the Eastern region to attend.

They are

Ginny Davis - vocals, 'cello and violin

After gaining cello grade 8 distinction, she escaped the clutches of classical music at 16 when she took up bass guitar and played rock covers in a school band. This was rapidly followed by a three year escapade with a local ceilidh band. She studied music at Middlesex Polytechnic where she dabbled in free-form improvisation, jazz voice, electro acoustic composition and sound recording. Returning to folk music she taught herself to play fiddle using purely aural skills, and since then has moved from North West clog dance accompaniment, through Celtic mainstays to where she is today, having created her own stylistic niche as a rocking folk 'cellist, vocalist and folk fiddle player.

John Ramirez - chromatic button accordion and melodeon

He started off his musical life as a keyboardist, playing in early Hawkwindesque teen bands on his beloved WASP synth. This progressed through the rock band route,his ultimate demise being down to his musical 'out of the box' thinking. He then acquired his first melodeon - where after a month of playing he was press ganged by a work friend into the above mentioned North West Clog dance team. He and Ginny played with a range of traditional musicians and bands. over a number of years. Finally after he ordered and got his head around his chromatic button accordion three years ago, they formed their own band Kiss The Mistress.

Roy Jones - bodhran and cajon

The youngest member of the band, Roy is also the rhythmic powerhouse. A child of folk loving, ceilidh going parents he was already a prize winning bodhran player, playing in a duo who had already met local acclaim in the Eastern region. He met Ginny at the local Sixth form where she taught and he was studying. Roy, John and Ginny got together for some informal playing sessions and their different take on music and their growing fascination with unusual time signatures led to them playing a successful gig at the first SpanFest in 2007. On the back of this they formed Kiss The Mistress and their first gig under this name was at a Cambridge Folk Club Showcase in January 2008.

REALY SORRY to miss you at the Pump House tonight. Hope it was a good gig. I figured that I'd curl up in a sulky heap and keep whatever wretched virus I've got to myself. I was going to sing "Lady Margaret" for you which treat will have to wait for another time.

Sing on!
