Influences -(`v)- Design your MySpace with MyLook -(`v)- I sing all sorts from , Jazz, Funk, Blues Gospel through to Folk so a wide range of influences. Just heard Kurt Elling, Fantastic. Jazz has to be Ella really. Funk, well you can't get dirtier than Betty Davis. Soul always has to be Aretha Franklin. Blues, oooh, Howling Wolf. Gospel, bits of everything, from Yolanda Adams to Take 6. Other than that Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Eva Cassidy, Susan Tedeschi. I love a bit of Rock too, all the early stuff like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss to Queens of the Stoneage. And everything else: Lyn Collins, Erykah Badu, James Brown, Prince, Erma Franklin, Michael Jackson, The Meters, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Sarah Vaughn, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Mayal, The Byrds, The Zombies, 13th Floor Elevators, The Dirtbombs, Captain beefheart, Muddy Waters, Chocolate Watch Band, Led Zeppelin, Love with Arthur Lee, The Who, The Small Faces, Eric Bibb, Son House, Etta James,Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters, Son House, Mahalia Jackson, ACDC, Marva Whitney, The Isley Brothers. Nathalie Cole, Nancy Wilson, Jon Hendricks, Julie London, Chopin, Debussy. I'm sure there's loads more but basically, 60s + 70s Blues, Rock, Soul, Funk, Gospel.

Anything with Soul and I'll sing it. I've probably been honing my Diva skills for the last ten years and started out honking out jazz on a now very dusty Saxophone. Having escaped the constraints of high school self-consciousness I've learnt to let go and there's been no looking back since. There's no better release than funk for full on power and positive aggression ( I say that because the only thing mean about funk is the groove) and have been shakin' my thing with Mondatta Funk for the last 3 years. I am so pleased to have finally made it big! Well, in terms of expanding from a 4 to a 12 piece band anyway... There's no room to be shy with the blues so Boweevil (Mark Howes) and I have been hollering, stomping and sliding in an acoustic jamboree for the last two years..... The streets of Norwich can now be found echoing with the sounds of The Stilhouettes. Laura White, Ruby O' Callaghan, Johanna Herron and myself have been sisters of soul for the past year with all things gospel, soul and harmonious..... And in between all that I can be found passing on my passion for Gospel and have started running singing workshops so if you too want to take part send me a message or check out the gig listings. So, in the words of one of my funky companions...'Peace and Dove,' (haha).Image Hosted by UploadHouse.com

Just wanted to tell you about a film screening on tuesday. It's an award winning documentary about how our society has changed as a result of 9/11 and 7/7.

Am MI5 whistleblower will be there to speak and answer questions So too will the films director.

It's at the Queen Charlotte, Dereham Road on 9th Decmeber.

Click for more info

Instead of tickets a voluntary contribution of £3-5 is suggested.

I think it'd be great if the music community of Norwich stood up for a little truth so I'm telling as many of us as possible about it!

All the best,

Andrew
