Kat Jackman (24) is a diploma level cellist with a BA (Hons) in Music. Kat is classically trained on the cello and has studied with Fa Fa Jin, Laura Ritchie and Graham Elliot. During her study at Chichester University she became acquainted with some exciting musicians and song writers. In 2005 she recorded for Mark Chadwick (The Levellers). For 3 years she performed on cello at venues and live on local radio with Exit to Eden- a female fronted rock band. During this amazing time she developed into a cellist who put a whole new perspective into the art of cello playing. First by using guitar effects as a soundscape to the songs, then by co-writing music with the rest of the band to find a place for the cello rather than using it as a backing instrument. From harsh distortion on sliding guitar solos to string slapping funky bass riffs Kat aimed at making each song something really memorable for the audience, and a totally unique sound for the band. Exit to Eden performed at the Concorde2 (Brighton) Goldcoast Oceanfest (Devon), The Wedgwood Rooms (Southsea), live on BBC SOuthern Counties Radio and won "Best of the Bands" with David Courtney on Splash FM. Kat performs and records on her Yamaha electric cello as well as her classical cello through an Accusound pick-up. Live cello effects include: Line 6, Boss, Zoom, Acusound, MXR guitar pedals.

Fave took up the bass aged 15 and has slowly progressed over the years until now he can hold down a steady rhythm with the best of them. He has an eclectic bass style and heritage, and has played such diverse genres as jazz, rock, blues, reggae, folk and punk, and greatly enjoys his ocassional outings with the Beat Circus. A personable person of multiple personas, you will generally find him in Portugal masquerading as Dave Fish, either playing bass with blues, reggae or folk bands, or maybe at a free party out in the forest, spinning electro at night and twisted psy dub in the daytime. He has also been known to adopt his Pappa Leekey persona and sneak onto the Beat Circus decks to play back 2 back with Leekey Beatz. A reclusive man, he has successfully eluded the paparazzi over the years. We have only be able to obtain the picture on the right, taken before colour film was available. |

Tessa first picked up a violin at the tender age of 3, and has barely put it down since! She first began performing at the age of 12 where she played at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. After studying for a music degree at the University of Manchester, she joined the Herts Philharmonia, who she played with until she moved to Brighton in 2006. She still plays classically with the Sussex Symphony Orchestra, amongst others, but is now in an acoustic folk band called Shiseido Red which takes up much of her time - http://www.myspace.com/shiseidoredmusic Beat Circus sees Tessa jamming with a host of talented musicians over some of the best breaks and electro tunes you could hope to hear. |
