Harriettes music exmouth market
Bringing together elements of Folk, Soul, Afro, Latin and Dub, the album reflects the band members various influences, as well as the multiculturalism of their home city, London.
The album comprises recently written, original songs alongside interpretations of traditional compositions performed on a plethora of instruments. From the all action Coming Down to the melancholic Ladybird, all the songs are filled with heart.
The album was recorded in London after a successful kick-starter campaign. Featuring the beautiful artwork of Jo Lamb, we have been able to produce a limited run of childrens T-shirts.

Based in Exmouth Market, London EC1, her mission was to provide free, quality music drop-in's for children and their carers.
Through that group, she met musician Ted Barnes in and they began to assemble the cast of 'The Sing-along Band'. This culminated in with three sell out shows at The Union Chapel, London.
