Georgia Wonder http://virb.com/georgiawonder www.gwonder.com Georgia Wonder are Stephanie Grant and Julian Moore. They describe their music as The Carpenters driving Tom Petty to an R.E.M. gig but getting crushed under the wheels of Pink Floyd's tour bus while arguing over whether to listen to 'Love Shack' by the B52's or 'Go your own way' by Fleetwood Mac. They were picked up by the legendary 'whispering' Bob Harris who played their demo's twice in two weeks on his BBC Radio Two saturday night show, are on the playlist of the south's largest commercial station Original FM and were in fact the first unsigned band played on the station, won the Talksport Radio demo panel and the BBC Southern Counties demo panel, as well as regular appearances on radio closer to home on Express FM and in London on Resonance FM. They won the 'Best Song' category in Express FM's first ever 'Golden Plectrum Awards' with their song 'Hello Stranger'. They have also been featured on such influential podcasts as 'The Miller Tells Her Tale' and 'Nette Radio', which champion Americana and female led groups respectively.

Possibly the strangest gig I've ever had.

'Can you come and pretend to be a card sharp on the streets of Paris while we film you?'

The answer was of course, yes! Free trip to Paris on Eurostar, much better weather than England, and streets full of riot police! How could I refuse.

I went down to Southsea the other day to do something or other, and was completely sidetracked as I made the fatal mistake of walking into an antique/junk shop. I don't usually do this kind of thing, but it looked interesting inside. So I went in.

I spent the weekend seeing Dr's, specialists, Medical Experts about my foot. My poor, poor foot.

I have been unable to walk properly on it for about a month now, the only shoes I can put on are flip-flops and now my hip has gone. How old am I?
