lady raz and a dusty guitar and Mark and his magic machinery.
Of recent times
Paddy the bombastic bass player with the golden mullet
Dylan the dashing drummer with a resemblance to a goblin hoarder
these fellas are also bears from the one and only funky Western super bear
Bars and Save yourself were recorded at the smashing Open source studios in
Bristol it's a joy to record there and you get given chocolate biscuits
Influences
Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Nick Drake , Dead can Dance and lots and lots of stuff including John Renbourne and Bert Jansch ( Wish I could play guitar like them )
Sounds Like
A hippy with a guitar and some other hippies that help me
I am a head standing hybrid of Mauritian and English who loves to sing , scribble and perform quirky, comical musical impro .I've been kicking around for a while in Bristol singin girly fashion , I had cancer which put a reign on things but now I'm back ready for round two. I'm also writing other stuff and singing for Bristol band 201 Over a fusion of funk, hiphop, rock, folk all of it !Check us out if you would like www.myspace.com/201over
I would like to give much thanks and respect to Mark Buckley who produced and recorded me and my rusty twanging thanks Mark you're a star!( he's also the main man behind 201 over)
and thanks to all friends for kicking me up the backside
of recent times much thanks to the wonderful Dylan , Paddy and Luke that have made it all very good!!
I have now played at many different places and in many different situations, of recent Urban cowboy was played on BBC Bristol radio uncovered!!
I didn't know Meena very well, but I played a few gigs with her - mainly in the Front Bar at The Croft. The times I met and talked to her, listened to her songs (and crazy improvisations) were always a pleasure and I feel sad that I didn't make it along to any of the gigs I would often get text messages about; always thinking that there would be another one around the corner. And now there won't be.
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news that LadyRaz has gone. I remember her as a gifted and inventive musician and performer who exuded warmth, happiness and humour. - Pat x
I was deeply saddend to hear that Meena passed away on the 24th December. She was a truly talented singer/song writer, with fun lyrics. When she played at the Old Bath Arms, she had a great impact with her beautiful voice and personality. I am so sorry to hear of her loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to Meena and her family. You will be truly missed. xxx
