****** CHICK N ATKINSON ******

Chick Atkinson is a singer/songwriter, sound engineer, producer and DJ from the UK, now living in Zurich, and has been making music ever since she can remember. Originally a classical guitarist, Chick went on to learn electric and acoustic styles and has performed in a three-piece, a heavy metal and a rock 'n' roll band. Now fully fledged, Chick's flying solo...

“I have lived in the UK, America, France, Germany and currently reside in Switzerland. Moving around has given me a wealth of experience from which to draw inspiration. Working under the spotlight as a performer is a real advantage in my work as a sound engineer as I am able to understand the recording process from both sides. I simply love music and am happy working with artists of all styles, ages and ability.”

****** MANDY WOODS ******

A seasoned writer and performer in both the UK and America, Mandy has spent most of her adult life giving in to wanderlust and crafting songs, many of which tell a story - about the ups and downs of relationships, her own and other people's struggles and quests for whatever it is we think our life is about, and anything else that has set her imagination off on her unconventional journey to where she is now.

After spending a decade in Austin, Texas, followed by a number of years back in the UK, she made a return visit to the States in 2010, drawn to Nashville, Tennessee, where she met and paired up professionally with singer songwriter Terri Calderon, with whom she has written a number of songs. Mandy has since then been over to Nashville several times to write and perform. She is now living in the south of England, and is a member of the London Songwriters' Group. She recently released a 5-track CD, 'All Along', recorded at Tigersonic Studio in London, and is involved with the Fearless Females collective. Mandy has recently formed a new duo, Yellow Rose, with Eastbourne-based singer-songwriter Jayne Ingles, and the pair are rapidly gaining a following in the surrounding area.
