Born in 1982 to an English father and a French mother, Fran Rodgers was raised with her twin sister in an old mining town in Nottinghamshire. Hours spent listening to her parents records inspired a love of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and, later, the likes of Nick Drake, Nick Cave and Jeff Buckley. Following a move to Leeds in 2000 Fran discovered a passion for singing and, self-taught on the guitar, she began to write. Like many of her influences she performs alone, transporting the listener into the fragile world she paints of love, loss and hope.

Paul Carter originates in Derby, England, UK and plays what has become known as acoustic punk. A sound that can't be described, you've just got to hear it for yourself. Paul first got into punk at the age of 14, after seeing The Adverts on TOTP performing 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes'. By 1978, Paul and a couple of mates had formed a crappy band which changed its name every day and by 1979 they'd all fallen out with each other.
Rambling casually onto the airwaves in 2004 Decoration instantly oozed unflappable northerness. They fell headlong onto the world with a shambling tabloid ordinariness; kitchen sink dramas and dilemmas, romantic clumsiness and affable tenderness were their heritage and they soon became their calling card. They kick their fray into action with a heady blend of tuneful potency, a melodious growl and a searing, scintillating wail, pulling together the last twenty years or so of Peel endorsed independent popular music Decoration instil in you a need for more.
