Greg Hancock returned to the UK in 2012 after many years overseas and quickly established himself as a regular performer on the music scene in Exeter and the surrounding region.

He has been writing his own songs ever since he first picked up a guitar at the age of ten. He always tries to find innovative and surprising new song structures and to avoid musical and lyrical cliches.

His songs deal with a wide range of topics – from love-gone-wrong and personal emotions to topical issues and current affairs but all share an unusual, slightly skewed view of the world and everything in it.

His guitar playing has developed from roots in the new folk styles of the 70s and 80s, with influences from players like Nic Jones, Martin Simpson and Joni Mitchell, to become a unique, intricate style through which many different moods can be expressed, and different genres explored.

Jo Hooper is an alternative cellist, focussing on Folk (contemporary, progressive and traditional), Indie, Rock, Avant Garde/Experimental and Ambient genres.

Jo loves to weave her sounds through the song adding texture, harmony and emotion – depending upon the ambience and pace of the song, from the long growling low notes and sorrowful or sweet high notes to more percussive ‘chops’ and plucking. She has also mastered the use of an egg-shaker while plucking!

Greg and Jo are regular collaborators and have built up a passionate following in Devon.

With support from Devon singer songwriter Ryn.
