Jenny-Lee: This is not easy, so many! For example Sheryl Crow, Karen Carpenter, Eva Cassidy loads of others.
Shelly: Its always been the songwriters that have done it for me, people like Elvis Costello, Neil Young and the Finn brothers from Crowded House fame. Their ability to turn out special songs, time after time, leaves me amazed.
My favourite guitarists are numerous so here is my top five:
Billy Gibbons - ZZ Top, Jeff (Skunk) Baxter - Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, James Taylor, The Edge, Keith Richards
Gary: Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius.
Alex: Pink Floyd, Thunder, Elton John, Billy Joel and Queen.
Dave:I count myself lucky enough to have played with some excellent musicians over the years so I guess those guys have helped to influence me and hopefully make me a better player.
Stevie - Our original Bass Player: It would read like an A-Z. I listen to everything from Blues to Jazz, Pop to Punk and Rock to Reggae. I may not like it all but there's always something to be learned from it. I think a lot is in my head but it has to have come from somewhere!

About A Girl Video's
We recently cut 3 "live" tracks at Pete Lamb's Music Workshop Studio, one at least of which we are going to use as the backing track for a music video, to be produced by Matt Wicker at Jaypark Studio's in Chippenham, Wiltshire. Matt came along to the session with his camera to shoot a few filler clips and ended up producing a new video for us using Bitch as the soundtrack....
The atmospheric video below was shot and produced by our good friend Matt Wicker at one of our rehearsals in March 2008. The band performed Pink's Who Knew for the camera.
The video clips below show us performing "Smile" and "Spooky" at the 2007 Calne Bike Meet, from the back of a lorry in pouring rain!

Humblest apologies about last night. Couldn't make it. EVERYONE was very impressed. My text has been red hot this morning. Well done and thanks for providing some excellent entertainment. Hopefully will meet up soon.
Jen and the Band: So glad you have got a new Bass Player: I have just listened to "Sober" Brilliant song and the keyboards add that special effect (very delicate) I know he can go crazy and it would be great to hear him go wild.Seriously. Jen your Voice is silken smooth and the drums Rocksteady. You are such a great band and I promise not to sulk at the fact that you prefer West Lavington to Devizes. But I will always support you.
