Hoover the dog are a Welsh Borders eclectic bunch of Musicians. They provide the combination of John Hymas' inventive strings with the counterpoint of Paul Hutchinson's Accordion and Tony Harrison's Guitar and Bouzouki playing. There is speed, excitement, colour and culture galore, along with clever and technical skill! A must listen!!!

Julia Harris was born in Cardiff but spent the first few years of her life in Cape Town, South Africa whale watching and riding on the cable car up to Table Mountain. Life growing up in South Wales was full of adventure too, camping, singing around bonfires, mud sliding down hills in the country and putting on talent shows for the local kids in the street. At 7 Julia was given a Casio VL-1 Keyboard from Santa and started playing along to her parents record collection. Zeppelin, Floyd, Squeeze, Paul Simon and Motown classics made a big impact on her.

Though she learnt Welsh as a second language, Cardiff-born Heather Jones has been one of the leading lights of the Welsh-language music scene since the 1970s. Her voice is crystalline and yet warm and she is at home in rockier music as in 'pure' folk.
