In her words ... "really I wanted to play very loud rock music, then punky, gothic, weird folky/acoustic. I played heavily-effected guitar in ‘The Grieve’, then started to write a lot of my own songs, playing the electric guitar sort of by ‘shapes’ and my own inventions rather than having learned it through playing blues/jazz etc (like proper musicians) !  I then played in folk clubs and open mike nights, and joined ‘The Hedgemonkeys’, teaching myself bass guitar. I've since played bass in many musical styles, learning all the time.  I started to play the 5-string bass about six years ago."

Jo now plays, sings and significantly enhances the velvet undercloak of Bram Stoker with her performing and song-writing talents.
