WRAPPED BY JOHN METCALFE
We featured Crybabycry some time ago and they quickly became house favourites. Saw them live too and they were great, so it was with some sadness that we learned recently that they were no more.
Singer and bassist Rosie hasn't been mucking about though and has teamed up with Oxford multi-instrumentalist John Metcalfe to provide vocals for his new EP, Wrapped.
"I clearly remember the first time I heard Rosie sing," explains John in a press release accompanying the new EP. "I was with some fairly hardened touring musicians who aren't easily impressed and we went round the front to listen to Rosie sing a couple of songs before the main [Peter] Gabriel show. We were all transfixed. I usually write instrumental music but this seemed like the time to change that and it seemed crazy not to collaborate with her."
