A vocalist looking to join an original outfit on the heavier side of prog, open to Celtic and trip-hop additions - think Jinjer, Portishead and Septic Flesh scoring The Riverdance :) Keyboard - studio/composing only, not live performance.
Would also be happy to sing with a jazz collective of any kind - be it an acoustic duo, or a full jazz-band :)
