Clair
Horton
- vocals
Clair has been singing since the first time she ever took
a bath. Since then she has been involved with a number of bands on the
midlands scene and has also been in demand as a session singer.
But, there are only so many backing vocals a girl can do before needing
to spread her wings and in the spring of 2004 Clair began sculpting a
collection of songs with writing partner Simon Fox. After some wildly
enthusiastic audience responses at a handful of low-key live shows, the
decision was made to head into the studio, armed with a guitar, a mandolin
& a packet of chocolate hob-nobs.
Simon first met Clair when he did a stint on guitar in Moneygods, having been knocking around in bands in Staffordshire since the age of 16. His first band, the infamous Sharon, terrorised the local music scene for four years. He found more success with Birmingham's post-rock pioneers, Grover. Simon is currently working in electronica/experimental group Krafla as well as accompanying Clair on guitar, banjo, mandolin and backing vocals and doing the website. And eating all the hob-nobs...
