21.03.10 Jeans goes POP! Plus the sublime Suzanne Elizabeth Marron
"Possessed of a quirky showmanship that nestles somewhere between Ben folds and David Bowie, Paul Jeans is perhaps the most unlikely of show-offs. In the guise of Jeans goes POP! the Newcastle man sounds possessed of more than the standard pair of arms - knocking out piano melodies while thwacking a bass drum and flitting between microphone and mouth organ. His odd arrangements never become novelty, however, and he delivers his songs with genuine heartiness." STOOL PIGEON
Suzanne Elizabeth Marron is another kettle of fish - and what a kettle! - what a fish! Lovely slippy - occasionally barbequed - quick, clever lyrics, sang with a beautiful, rich Middlesbrough-accented voice like you've never heard...
"Most of my songs are born as poems that I later mould to fit the shape of a song. I like to paint pictures with words and then decorate them with music.." S.E.M
