DJ/Producer
Miss Behavin’ is one of the UKs most successful female DJs
- not just by industry reputation (IDJ "Top 50 DJs To Watch")
but by popularity too demonstrated by her continued presence
in the "Worlds Top 100 Female DJs" poll. Miss Behavin'
continues to make a lasting impression on fans worldwide with
her talents taking her many times around the globe and touring
major cities across UK, Ireland, Asia, USA, South Africa, Canada,

Over
the last 8 years Miss Behavin' has worked alongside many other
top DJs including Judge Jules, Sonique, Tall Paul, Eddie Halliwell,
Fergie and Lisa Lashes and earlier on in her career she worked
closely with Tidy Records and toured many countries as part of
the Tidy Girls. She also spent 5 crazy summer seasons DJ'ing
in Ibiza, one of which she was followed by camera crews filming
her DJ sets and Ibiza antics for documentaries for SKY ONE, Channel
4 and VH1 Music Channel including the cult "Ibiza Uncovered"
series...
Achieving
impressive success as a producer as well as a DJ, Miss Behavin's
massively euphoric ‘Shine On Me’ feat Gemma James is
currently being supported by top DJ's across the globe. ‘Shine
On Me’ is the follow up to her monster club anthem ‘Such
a Good Feelin’, that shot straight to number 6 in the UK
dance charts and was selected for the BRIT Awards nominations
in 2004. Such a Good Feelin is featured on 8 massive selling
dance compilations including ‘Extreme Euphoria’, Dance
Anthems on Nukleuz and '10 years of Tidy'. This year
Miss Behavin' is back in the studio working on a remix of ‘Sweet

of Kid Funk.

couldn't agree more!

BEXTA AUSTRALIA'S NO 1 INT'L
DJ STYLES:HARD TRANCE BANGIN' BEATS ENERGETIC
HOUSE
When
you look at the list of achievements of BeXta Australia's No1
female DJ and possibly the most successful dance music producer
in the countries history, you wonder how she has done it all.
And when you ask BeXta that question, this quietly spoken talent
admits she feels she hasn't even started. Which makes it all
the more cool.
BeXta
has had 8 single releases to date, including a 5-star international
anthem (quoted by Radio One, BBC London, and DJ Mag UK), called
'One For The Road. She's release one EP - the Skirmish LIVE EP,
which entered the ARIA singles charts in 1999, and an album,
Conversations with ones and zeroes. The album reached number
8 on the ARIA independent album charts, which was released on
her own label in Australia - a notable achievement for a dance
music producer in this country achieving all of that?
On
top of her own releases, BeXta began the DJ compilation series,
'Mixology', in 2000, and we are just about to be hit with number
9 in the series, which she is introducing her first international
DJ to accompany her on the comps - Brooklyn Bounce...
This collaboration
will surely propel and Bexta's production career to a much wider
international stage - a long running objective of this personable
and determined DJ. .
As
well as the release of 'Mixology 9' , BeXta has embarked on a
project to introduce new talent into the industry, with the development
of her label, now called Mixology Digital Records. This will
feature new artists, as well as her own material, that will also
be remixed by internationals and also herself. The label will
feature collaborations BeXta has done with international artists,
including Public Domain, Dave Joy and Vandertraxx. MDR will be
entering the online download domain www.mixologydigitalrecords.com/
But vinyl junkies rest assured there will a be a vinyl release
to launch the label, which will be available internationally,
and will feature a new BeXta track, and will introduce 2 of her
new artists - Steve Black and TyDi.
LISA UNIQUE FANTAZIA & HOUSONIC REZ STYLES:HOUSE & ELECTRO
Lisa
Unique has had a phenomenal career to date spanning over nearly
a decade, beginning her career as a House DJ, it all started
opening nights for club nights such as Fantazia back in 1997,
at the time not knowing the popularity and impact she would have
on the music scene. Lisa has always had a musical ear from an
early age, her ability to read music coupled with her heightened
sense of timing and beat matching has now meant she is widely
recognised as one of clublands top flight DJs. Lisa's DJing soon
progressed into the UK Garage scene and it was then when her
career really took off, taking her to a host of venues around

of her career she soon advanced into producing her own tracks
and remixes. Lisa also went on to form the first ever all-girl
garage group - LONDON'S MOST WANTED....
Her
natural talent, guts and determination brought her many successes
over the years, starting with the boundary-breaking house driven
garage track "UNIQUE", put out on Sony's INCredible
label.
This track gained much recognition
from the likes of Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul and Jeremy Healey.
The track "UNIQUE" was hugely received by garage and
house fans across the UK, USA and Japan. Lisa Unique also gained
massive acclaim for her remix of Aaliyah's "Try Again",

years Lisa has gone back to her musical roots and developed her
own style of House performance, which has caused quite a stir
in the industry. After completing an extensive national tour
with NIKE to promote their Women's campaign in 2004, this gave
her the platform to re-launch herself, since then its been business
as usual playing for a host of clubs and promoters up and down
the UK and around the globe.
As always Lisa's diary is crammed full of domestic and internationl
pleasures - from monthly residencies at the Corn Exchange in
Cambourne Cornwall one mibute to jetting around the globe, next
stop Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc to being back in the studio making
new tracks with an undiscovered talent - Si Tech ( watch this

VICKY
DEVINE JUDGEMENT
SUNDAYS RES STYLES:HOUSE , TRANCE , FUNKY ELECTRO AND HARDER
Vicky Devine is ne of
the most talented female DJ/Producers within the current UK dance
scenE having been involved in music in some capacity throughout
most of her life. Reaching Grade 6 in Piano, playing classical
guitar and being a member of a singing group throughout her school
life, she was enticed into the dance music world at the age of
18 and has worked within the industry ever since!!!
Beginning as a club reviewer
and interviewer for Dream and Eternity magazines she then went
on to dance on stage and work in various promotional roles for
a number of UK based events. There was always a DJ inside though
and she was soon behind the decks spending hours after college
learning how to mix. This coupled with her passion for music,
endless enthusiasm and perseverance has helped build her career
and made her one of the most promising female DJ's and producers
in the current dance music scene.
As a result Vicky has
gone on to wow fans in the UK, and indeed around the world with
a reputation built on her uplifting yet driving trance sets -
although versatile Vicky is just as recognised for her funky,
house and electro sets as well.
Playing at numerous nights
in the UK including Gatecrasher, The Gallery (Turnmills), Pams
House (Norwich), Slinky (Westfest Festival), Escape (Swansea),
Passion (Coalville), Tranzaction and on a worldwide level including
on the SLINKY Asia tour in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, the SMIRNOFF
EXPERIENCE tour in India and at clubs in Canada, South America,
Dubai, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few. Vicky is
also a regular guest at many top nights in Ibiza including her
weekly main room residency at the massive JUDGEMENT SUNDAYS at
Eden where she plays alonsgide the likes of Judge Jules, Eddie
Halliwell, Lisa Lashes, Christopher Laurence, Matt Hardwick and
Ferry Corston (2005, 2006, 2007), - not to mention a weekly residency
at Majorca's superclub BCM for her own night - "Angels of
Funk" (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007). She is also one of the resident
DJ's at the most successful all female DJ event to date - "Charlys
Angelz". This has completed six successful years out in
Ibiza at which Vicky has played each and every one! The brand
has also hosted nights at numerous clubs as part of the Charlys
Angelz UK and Worldwide tour, in addition to the brand hosting
rooms at other collaborating events such as the Big Reunion in
Skegness. Charlys Angelz remains an integral part of Vicky's
career and will be back in Ibiza for summer 2007 alongside a
new UK tour.
On the production front
Vicky has also seen success. She had early productions as part
of numerous collaborations which allowed her to subsequently
move on to work on solo productions and develop her own sound.
Her first release written back in 2001 (as part of trance duo
Sweet Asylum and also called "Sweet Asylum"), was released
through Infectious Distribution, and was licensed to Pendragons
"Power Trance and Nu NRG" album mixed by Mark Sinclair.
Her second track entitled "Angelz", also produced under
the Sweet Asylum guise was signed by UK based record label Solar.
Her third track entitled "Fearing Nothing", co-written
with Sophie Sugar, was released at the beginning of 2003 on Dutch
label "F-Active Music" where the track was produced.
It is during the past year however that Vicky has come into her
own as a solo artist. Her first solo production - "Entravanse"
- was signed to Drizzly at the end of 2005 and released in March
2006 on their Illuminate sublabel along with a remix from Passion's
resident DJ Andy Bagguley. The track was licenced to four compilation
albums, received excellent reviews in IDJ, Mixmag and M8 magazines
and has also received support from some of trance's top music
jocks including Dave Pearce (plays on his Radio One Dance Anthems
Show), Paul Kershaw (plays on Galaxy FM and voted 2nd in the
Sol Selection), Adam White and Gav Mytchell (MOS Radio), Guy
Ornadel and DJ Choose. Her second track entitled "Echoed
Kisses" was also released on Drizzly's Illuminate Records
with a fantastic Paul Kershaw Remix, and achieved similar success
with plays on Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems, MOS radio, Galaxy
and Vibe FM to name but a few. Echoed Kisses was also recommended
tune of the month in IDJ and had fantastic reviews in Mixmag.
Vicky has been back working hard in the studio throughout the
winter, and her next two tracks (Silver Whispers and Eternal
Dream) will be doing the rounds very soon as well as her very
own remix of Solstice's "Edge of the Ocean".
Radio is also a massive
part of Vicky's career having provided Ibiza reports and interviews
for Paul Kershaw's Saturday night Galaxy FM show (2006), Steve
Smart's Saturday night Kiss 100 FM Floorfillers Show (2004),
Bournemouth's Fire 107.6FM (2002-2004), and having also hosted
her own show on Ibiza's main dance music station Holiday FM (2005).
In addition Vicky has been involved in television work with Balearic
Babes (Rapture TV 2002) and also with an Australian production
which included Vicky interviewing DJ Tiesto at Ibiza's Cream
Closing party (2005). She also recently had guest mixes and interviews
on Eddie Halliwell's BBC Radio One Show (Feb 2007), on Judge
Jules's Global Warm Up show (Dec 2006) and on Fergie's BBC Radio
One Show for his "DJ By The Sea" Feature (2005).
So at the beginning of
2007, the roller coaster ride seems set to continue for Ms Devine.
With further gigs throughout the UK, Europe and beyond already
lined up, and exciting studio collaborations in the pipeline
for yet more tracks - it seems there really is no stopping this
girl. The past year has indeed been Vicky's biggest year to date,
but sets the stall for an even bigger future.

EMMA FELINE DJ
/ PRODUCER STYLES: HIP HOP, R'N'B, OLD SKOOL
With
talent and determination Emma Feline has achieved international
status and recognition as a leading urban DJ. She began mixing
UK Garage in 1997 and has been playing Hip Hop and R&B since
2000. Her precise mixing, formidable selection and versatile
style works any crowd into a frenzy, and her record box has been
a passport to jet set around the world. From India to America,
Estonia to Barbados, Dubai to Ibiza, the list goes on.
Her career literally began overnight
when DJ Funky Smith asked if she wanted to stand in for him at
Bar Code in London. Even though Emma had only been shown the
ropes a week before, she went for it and was immediately offered
a weekly residency. She quickly joined forces with Lynda
Phoenix, another female DJ who shared her passion for music.
The duo made their radio debut a few weeks later after blagging
the Sunday 6am- 8am slot on pirate radio London Underground.
Within a year they were promoted to Sunday afternoon and
set up London's Most Wanted, an all girl DJ collective that became
of great interest to the media. Guest appearances with Steve
Jackson, The Dreem Teem, and Woman's hour on Radio 4, newspaper
and magazine features in The Guardian, Time Out, Evening Standard,
DJ Magazine and Touch along with T.V interviews and documentaries
on Channel 4 and MTV gave the exposure needed to secure bookings
at many high profile UK events including a residency with Twice
As Nice at The End.
During 1999 Upfront FM was the
pirate du jour, and Emma was one of their flagship DJ's...
In
2002 she joined London's No 1 for Hip Hop and R&B Choice
FM (owned by Capital) to host the Wednesday night 'Raw Selection',
and in January 2004 her musical knowledge and presenting skills
were rewarded with promotion to a Sunday daytime show.
When London Most Wanted split
Emma began touring the USA three times a year, building up a
faithful following in New York, Baltimore, North Carolina, Washington
DC, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Miami, Gainesville, Seattle, LA and Dallas,
where she is hailed as a major pioneer of UK Garage and 2 Step.
During these trips she would hunt down the latest Hip Hop and
R&B records before their UK release.
Not just a talented DJ, Emma
Feline turned her skills to the studio, producing and remixing
tracks under the alias of London's Most Wanted, Fierce and Funky
and Tombraider and setting up her own label 'Stereotherapy' -
The gold selling compilation 'Twice as Nice, Urban Flava's was
one of the largest selling urban compilation's ever - being expertly
mixed mixed by Emma and Steve Sutherland, and featuring her own
productions 'Indian Summer'. With her fingure on the pulse
of a vibrant UK Emma was also approached by Tense Magazine in
2003 to write her own column. The aptly named 'Decks in the City'
is bursting with candid stories, collected on her DJ travels,
and she took the concept with her when she was asked to join
Touch Magazine in 2005.

Technics/DMC World Championships when he was 15 inspired me to
progress”. Progress she certainly has taking her distinctive
style to crowds across the capital and the UK,showcased her talents

GINA G THE PRINCESS OF POP STYLES:POP/DANCE - NEW ALBUM, NEW SINGLE & FAB NEW SHOW
As
fast as the music industry churns out pop artists, Gina G has
been churning out quality pop songs, waiting for the right moment
to finally unleash her own recordings. Gina's new single "Tonight's
The Night" has it's official release immnently along with
her eagerly awaited 2nd album "Get Up And Dance" following
close behind, bring out a funky new edge to Gina's infectious
and catchy pop/dance sound, a sound ready to delight old fans
and win plenty of new ones.
Gina G has been surrounded by
music since an early age - at various times Gina's been a DJ
in her native Queensland, singer for an innovative dance music
act called Bass Culture with whom she recorded "Love The
Life" but it wasn't until Gina left the group and relocated
to the UK in 1994 to pursue a solo career that something special
happened to pop music...
There
she found herself at an independent London record company screening
demo tapes, one of which was a rough'n'raw version of a song
titled "Just a Little Bit" later re-written and re-named
as "OOH AAH, JUST A LITTLE BIT" - the track that Gina
G took to the 1996 Eurovison Song Contest representing Great
Bitain. Despite a dazzling performance from Gina, it failed
to sway the judges but had the opposite effect on the UK public
and charts, rocketing to No.1 and remaining in the Top 5 for
a whopping 3 months, selling over over a million copies in the
UK, 2 million units worldwide and hitting No 12 in the American
Billboard Hot 100 resulting in record breaking number of performances
for a song on the legendary UK music show "Top Of The Pops"
as well as performing and being interviewed on nearly every TV
show and radio station turning Gina into a star overnight.
Gina's second single was released
in September, co-written by Gina the devastatingly catchy and
eminently danceable "I Belong To You" hit the charts
at No.6. Gina's first release of 1997 was the single "Fresh"
straight into the UK Top 10 again at No.6, closely following
on with the eagerly awaited debut album "Fresh".
"Fresh" singles releases
"Tiamo", and the energetic dance smash "Gimme
Some Love" were both UK Top 20 hits. "Tiamo"
was a huge hit all over Europe and still enjoys major radio play
today. British style Gina-mania was emulated across the
continent folowing a European-wide tour sparking huge sales and
chart topping air play in virtually every country on her itinerary
as well as finally reaching the Top 5 of her homeland Australia.
,After makiing a stop over in Japan, "Fresh" went gold
in just two weeks and topped the Asian charts too.
Having already conquered the
rest of the world and repeating it's European flight pattern
"Ooh Aah, Just A Little Bit" bulleted up the American
charts. It was the Greatest Gainer on the Billboard Hot 100 for
four straight weeks, while Top 40 monitor, which tracks airplay,
pegged it at No.5. The single reached No.12 with a bullet on
the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy Award in
1997 for the category "Best Dance Single".
Warner
Bros in the US decided not to follow the same choice of releases
as the UK and opted for "Gimme Some Love", already
proven successful in the UK and Europe. "Gimme Some Love"
raced up the Billboard Hot 100 and reached Top 10 on the Radio
Airplay chart and was Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Gina spent
all of 1997 promoting her album "Fresh" and touring
the whole of Europe, Asia, Australia and finally America and
South America, taking a break in November 1997 to go back into
the studio to write and record her second album.
Then
followed an immensely frustrating period in Gina G's career -
at the top of her fame with Gina-mania in full flood worldwide,
contractual disputes with a producer over recording of a second
album and Gina failing to receive royalties due from her No 1
smash hit tied up the release of any new material for a nightmare
3 years.
Despite
this Gina has surged ahead regardless and continued to write
and record ready for the future, flying to America to write with
well-known and successful songwriters and cutting edge producers.
During
this time "Love the Life" a song also written by Gina
was chosen as the theme for a nationwide Coca Cola advert, which
brings us neatly back to the new album and single, both well
worth waiting for. Now get ready for that fab new stage show
- Gina's "Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit" different this
time round!
GRAM'MA
FUNK 'I SEE YOU BABY' STYLES:FREESTYLE VOCALIST/MC - GROOVE ARMADA & FATBOY SLIM
Since
its U.S. release, "I See You Baby - Shakin' Dat Ass"
has warranted international acclaim and is climbing the national
record charts as well as selling thousands of the funky derriere'ed
re-end Renault hatch. This accomplished songwriter also contributed
to Foxy Brown's multi-Platinum CHYNA DOLL album (Def Jam) by
penning and performing on "The Birth Of Foxy Brown."
GRAM'MA FUNK also wrote and is the feature vocalist on "In
My Bones," another song on Groove Armada´s VERTIGO
album.
GRAM'MA FUNK´s vocals and unique style has created a demand
for the women behind the funk! Already, the single has been licensed
out to "Top of The Pops Vol.1", the Warner Bro´s
film "Romeo Must Die," "Mitsubishi Spitfire 2000"
car commercial, ABC TV shows "Third Watch, DreamWorks film
"Road Trip" with MTV´s Tom Green, HBO TV "The
Sopranos," Paramount Pictures film "What Women Want"
with Mel Gibson, to name just a few....
Until returning
to Miami last year, GRAM'MA FUNK has been working and living
on the white isle of Ibiza, where she has been dubbed "The
Funk Hostess Wit´ Da Mostess" to the "rich and
naughty" at some of the hottest international clubs and
special events. GRAM'MA FUNK´s magical vocals and talented
song writing skills have contributed to two highly talked about
singles, "Universal Unfolding" on DJ Pippi´s
Undiscovered Ibiza CD Vol. 2 and the latest club stopper tune
"Cheeky Armada" with Illicit on Azuli\Yola records.
Perhaps it was the fast-pace of New York City, or the instant
celebrity she became on opening the revered Funk Hut, but it
caused GRAM'MA FUNK to leave her mark wherever she goes!
So the next time you're partying
and you hear "I See You Baby…" remember who gave
it too you "The Funk Hostess Wit´ Da Mostess"-GRAM'MA
FUNK!
SHARON
MAY LINN 'L'IL LOVE' VOCALIST STYLES:LIVE HOUSE PA AND SESSION VOCALIST
Sharon
May Linn started singing professionally at the age of 17 - a
backing vocalist she proved too talented to hide on the backlines
and began a solo career stretching across several bands and often
clocking up over a hundred live performances a year - from reggae
to rock to 70s-80s cover bands and acid jazz groups, she becomes
a great interpreter of big soul names like Aretha Franklin, Tina.Turner
and many others.
At
the same time Sharon was busy cutting tracks and developing her
own creativity writing lyrics and learning the production aspects
of music and for 10 years has been adding her own style as a
free-style vocalist and 'posh' MC over the deck talents of many
well known House DJs at some of the Worlds best clubs, first
in Italy and then also Ibiza, Mexico, England, Poland, Switzerland
and Germany, Russia and many more.
Although Sharon had released
many tracks it wasn't until the summer of 2005 when her vocals
for Lil Love's LITTLE LOVE shot to the top of the charts that
she really hit the worlds stage with one of the best known house
vocals ever...
Her 2003 self-penned
DESTINATION UNKNOWN also became a hit ironically thanks to vocals
by diva Crystal Waters. Nowadays the track has been remixed and
re-released as DESTINATION CALABRIA.
Two further releases follwed
WaWa feat. Sharon May Linn 'SUNSHINE', including a version by
House producer and DJ Jerry Ropero (www.myspace.com/jerry_ropero
)-(Blanco y Negro/Vendetta, Spain) and Blu Lipstick (Sharon May
Linn & Magilla) 'HEAD OVER HEELS', including an Alex Gaudino
version (Riserec/TIMErecords, Italy) which found it's way onto
the cult club HED KANDI 2006 compilation.
In December 2006 "Burning
Desire" written and sung by Sharon on the grooves of italian
DJs, Domenico Baldoni and Lauro Predieri, was released under
the project named FRIENDS ELECTRIC by Wicked & Wild records...
Already on Traxsource and soon on Beatport as well. With the
same team Sharon wrote and sang "THERE'S NO REASON"
which will also be available soon!
It is very likely that Sharon
has another smash hit iminent as 'I GOT FEVER' a similarly infectious
vocal track , written and produced with DJ Sergio D'Angelo (www.myspace.com/sergiodangelo),
has just been released on Lemans recordings, Germany; including
a real "bomb" version and a dub one created by the
super energic WaWa bros!!!! (www.wawa.tk). Another soulfull track
'DON'T KEEP ME HANGING ON also with Sergio D'Angelo has been
released on Equal Records, Italy, while MOVE IT OUT a track released
under the project name of Smack it, which are Sharon, dj Stefano
Pain and Marcello Lepore, has already hit the top of the Italian
dance charts on Stereo Seven records, Italy).
All that and she rocks it live
too!
DANIELLE
BLAKE VOCALIST STYLES:LIVECOVERS PA & SESSION SINGER ALL STYLES
Danielle
was born in Hull but did most of her growing up in Essex which
is probably where she soaked up the brash outgoing and sassy
vocal style that reaches deep into the soul. From early beginnings
of Chetwood Primary School Choir leading to a desire to belt
out top 40 hits from the Sunday R1 chart show Danielle developed
an increasingly wider appreciation of music. Numerous karaoke
forays later lead to Danielle being approached by cabaret singer
Dave to form a club vocal duo 'Twogether'
Her professional repertoire increased
from 5 to 25 songs and 'Twogether' toured the cabaret, pub and
working mens club circuit and despite a more traditional performence
content still found a following in younger venues, and Danielle
realised that she had a very commerical vocal talent and decided
to get some wider exposure.
Danielle produced a demo CD of
cover songs and started working with many different producers
on original songs to showcase her style after being offered an
opportunity to sing in London at 'POPSHOW'. Danielle needed some
original songs and received hundreds of responses from writers
in answer to an advert, choosing Gerard Magee and Phil Harris
tracks which stood out from very many ballards.
After hearing Danielle's
Demo CD** and then seeing her perform live Kenny Azeez of VHP
Records contracted her to record 3 tracks on a double dance album
released at the beginning 2004. "You've Got The Love"
was her first track with VHP, the second was "Independent
Girl". In 2002 Danielle recorded 'Out Of Luck' for
Chicken Soup Music. who were so impressed with her vocals and
professionalism that they invited her to record a further 2 tracks
including the second "You and me Baby".
Danielle sings all genres well and after responding to an ad
in the Stage Magazine also collaborated on a project with Pete
Deveraux (the Artful Dodger), but sadly this never came to fruition.
The Wah-Brothers also asked Danielle to produce a pre-production
vocal guide for them for their hit song "Say Hello Wave
Goodbye".
Danielle biggest audience to
date has been performing to 3000 people in March 2001 for Comic
Relief at the London Fun Run. d 'one of the best experiences
to date, I really loved it, though it was a touch chillier on
stage than I'm usually used to!'
Danielle has trained professionally
at Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) getting a Distinction
for the course and received voical coaching from Carleen Anderson
(ex Brand New Heavies) and Roger Kain, Kate Cammeron (vocalist
for Fat Boy slim, Paul Oakenfold etc...) as well as some good
old fashion rock and roll hands on hands on training with a rock
band and some excellent semi-professional musicians for 9 months.
Since attending BIMM Danielle was the first to sing at all their
weekly "Live Performance Workshops" at Concorde 2 each
week with material from Skunk Anansie through No Doubt &
Coldplay to Foo Fighters, ed Hot Chillie Peppers, and AC/DC.
She also met and jammed with Alex......, Vinnie L...(Emma Bunton,
Robbie Williams) and Mark Richardson (drummer for FEEDER) and
many more.
