fran whitcombe Bio:

Hi, My name is Fran Whitcombe and I am a singer/songwriter/pianist..

I started my musical career working as a music teacher for the Yamaha Corporation and over the years have been a member of many blues/contemporary cover bands - mainly playing to small but enthusiastic audiences on the pub/club circuit.

During the last couple of years have dedicated my time to composing/writing original material - working solo composing/arranging/lyric writing.

For the last year have been working with a band writing all our own original material with a view to gigging really soon and are just in the process of mixing our demo..

The work on here is solo stuff which I like to think could be termed as 'singer/songwriter/SOUL!'

My influences include Paul Weller/all good British Rock/Soul legends BTW Little Eva rocks :-) including some new singersongwriters such as Michelle Branch/Sarah Mclachlan and Britain's youngest soul legend Joss Stone - but with a little Paul Simon and even the great Sir Elton thrown in there too.

Thanks for listening,

Fran
