JULIET WOOD established herself as a voice to be heard with the release of her debut album Sconsolato, which features John Crawford on piano. This self-confessed ‘musical magpie’, gathered a collection of tunes connected by shimmering harmonies, eloquently described by beautiful melodic lines. She then brushed each song on the album with colours from her own vocal palette - ranging from dark and smoky to crystalline and pure. Jazz Views described Sconsolato as “…the best vocal album I have heard this year.” CAROL NIELSSON was born in Britain and immigrated to Iceland at an early age.

She was cast as Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar in its first regional tour and then appeared in Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical Cats as Grizabella at The New London Theatre in 1984.
