Rebecca Downes is an English blues rock singer, guitarist, songwriter and vocal coach.
Downes used Mark Viner Stuart of Mad Hat Studios as her mentor and, by 2011, she had been partnered by Steve Birkett to assist in song writing and inspiration.
[5] Downes was named as the UK Blues Federation's 'Female Vocalist of the Year' at Worthing and was presented with the award at her concert in Fleet, Hampshire, on 1 June 2018.
[8] In 2020, Downes released a version of Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", in a way that reflected the nation's feelings during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.
The pandemic's suspension of live music created an opportunity to revisit older material, with much of the recording taking place at each individual's home.
The album contained 11 tracks, ten being written by Downes and Birkett with the other song a reworking of Free's "A Little Bit of Love".
