Fiona Brice has a wealth of experience across a spectrum of musical adventures - from touring for 10 years with Placebo to creating arrangements for and performing with the likes of John Grant, Anna Calvi, Jay-Z, Kayne West, Liam Gallagher, Kelly Jones, and many many more.

She released her solo album 'Postcards From...' in 2016 on Bella Union, and there will be a follow up next year once the vinyl is ready to ship.
