Me & Mr Jones Quartet

A sophisticated sound...bluesy and breathtakingly ballsy. Peggy's founders Rachel & Paul play their unique take on masters past & present... Joined by 'The Whole Affair' with Simon Paterson on bass & Stevie Smith on drums

Peggy's founders, Rachel & Paul (Me & Mr Jones) & Simon Paterson (bass), and Stevie Smith (drums) play some old favourites of the Great American Songbook, fresh arrangements of classic and lesser known gems, as well as a few self-penned songs…jazz, soul, blues…Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday…Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, Lennon/McCartney.

Rachel Foster; Jazz and pop chanteuse, once likened to Tracy Thorn and Sade (only phatter!) 'A voice like Baileys with chocolate!' Toured US with Weekend Players earning Billboard Chart success at no.3 and reaching no.1 in the Dance Chart respectively. Rachel also collaborated with local heroes Bent, Shod and Crazy P to name but a few. A voice mature enough to command demanding music.

Paul Deats; Jazz, Funk, Blues piano. 'A powerful and intense player, ..lyrical and thoughtful' Paul (aka Paulus) has toured Europe and the UK extensively. He is a constantly inventive arranger and composer making him a much sought-after player, performer and collaborator.
