Tamara

Tamara wailed as a child. Luckily this soon turned into singing, although at times she can still be heard wailing in her songs (or when she laughs). Tamara writes songs that make you feel something.

Tamara also fronts baroque-pop group Death of the Maiden, Sea Shanty band The Jolly Grogsters, and is the Creative Director of All Tamara’s Parties.

“Intense, dark and quirky” - The Oxford Mail

“Armed with a voice that would make angels and demons weep” - Nightshift Magazine

Tamara also fronts sea shanty outfit, The Jolly Grogsters and Baroque Pop group, Death of the Maiden.
