Details:
Bev Lee Harling is definitely the sum of her many lovely parts. She has been described by her seaside loving family as a rudderless boat, and for good reason. Having first tried her hand at studying classical violin, she then switched to studying Jazz voice. Since leaving her studies Bev has toured with a jazz septet on viola and voice, played violin for an Argentinian Tango group, fiddled for a sweaty, fast playing Celtic band, led a roots band with a borrowed electric six string and a dodgy microphone, joined forces with Jools Hinton (her favourite composer/piano player/lover) for a show of original compositions at the Edinburgh Festival, learnt the guitar, become vegan, been double booked with a kids party by a disorganised venue and found a roof terrace overlooking Alexander Palace at dusk to play at instead, conducts a string orchestra, busked to earn money on the cobbled streets of George Street in her home town of Hastings with fellow Hastonian Emily Booth A.K.A Bouff - cult horror film goddess, and most importantly since moving to London, writes her own songs, influenced by all of the things above. Bev released her four track E.P Impossible Human in May 2006. She performs regularly in and around London, at Jazz Cafe, Cargo and Cobden Club.
