This is your chance to buy an album by someone who is going to be a really BIG recording star, just before they make that important first break-through.

Who am I talking about?                                                                                It’s Jo Grant 

You may have heard her stunning voice on the ‘Happy City’ album, to which project she supplied tracks with her band ‘Fashion Able Soul’, or you may have been intrigued by her soulful backing vocals on Dougal Rose’s ‘StarChild’ CD.

You may also have seen her on TV, as she’s appeared in programmes such as ‘Birds Of A Feather’ & ‘The Bill'. Jo will also be in the forthcoming film 'New Years Day'.

Whichever way you look at it, 'Rehearsal' is one CD you just can’t afford to miss.

1. Rehearsal - Indian meets rock'n'roll meets latin ... and it works !

2. Undecided - Natalie Imbruglia with a touch of Oasis; real hit material.

3. Lie - Weird or what? You've never heard Steve Mann's song this way.

4. Is This For Real? - Blondie holidays on Echo Beach...and has a ball !

5. Hands - Jewel's classic song given the Jo Grant treatment.

6. Weights Of Heaven - Haunting, poetic melody; a dream of love lost.

7. Talk Until Dawn - Soulful, lazy jazz; say how you feel before it's too late.

8. Strawberries & Champagne - A simple love song.

9. Silence - Pulsing funk; 'hanging on to all she knows, silence all around.'

10. Crawl - This one will haunt you; a candle-lit bath, a glass of wine...

11. Keep You Warm - 'Have you ever felt like crying?' Rock epic in 2 parts

12. He Is Nothing Without You - Who wins when love is stolen away?

 For her ‘Rehearsal’ album project, Jo has been lucky enough to secure the song-writing talents of three of her friends who are already well-known to you - Dougal Rose, Steve Mann and Chris Neighbour. With their guitar-playing skills augmented by the keyboard talents of Andy Teo, Ken McWilliam & Lewis Henderson, the powerful bass of Simon Akehurst, the cello of Sally Swift& the sweet backing vocals of Alix McWilliam, the stage is set. Add Jo’s own special magic with lyrics and you have one of the most potent packages of music that PlayRoom has had the opportunity to offer. Given such a range of influences, it’s no surprise that the album is a very eclectic mixture. This allows Jo to demonstrate her wide-ranging vocal skills - Natalie Imbruglia, Jewel, Madonna, Lisa Stansfield and Blondie all rolled into one compact bundle of talent !
