GILL GOODE

Both powerful and sweet lead/backing vocals are delivered by Gill who rose through the music scene playing Englands Northern music venues with Neo Rockabilly band 'Wild Friday'. Gill's influences in her own words are "All those early greats from the 40's and 50's that's when it all seemed so true - no effects to mask the truth. People like Willy Mae (Big Mama) Thornton, Koko Taylor, Lulu in the UK, even early Brenda Lee, You listen to those great sounds then you give it all your own twist, That's Rock n' Roll" Stage performances offer a vocal power and sweet tones with a no nonsense attitude with an ever increasing reportoire. Gill prefers to work with original material but also enjoys working with Jazz and Blues cover tunes - Her reportoire varies from a Soft Julie London Jazz style to out and out outrageous Rock n' Roll.
