Rose Kemp

Rose Kemp (born 11 December 1984) is an English singer and guitarist who performs in a variety of musical genres.

In December 2010, a Rose Kemp cover version of the Cardiacs song "Wind and Rains is Cold" - recorded in collaboration with electronic musician Rarg - appeared on Leader Of The Starry Skies: A Tribute To Tim Smith, Songbook 1, a fundraising compilation album to benefit the hospitalised Cardiacs leader Tim Smith.

[2] Kemp also performs with SJ Esau as part of the experimental, often improvisational pop trio Jeremy Smoking Jacket.

The group recorded an EP entitled "Now We Are Dead (and Other Stories)" which was released jointly by Enormous Corpse and Fact Fans in August 2005; Max Milton left the group in October 2006, but Kemp and Sam continued as a duo, recording a live session for Huw Stephens' show on BBC Radio 1 in November 2006.

The four piece, whose other members are Joe Garcia, James King and Alex Bertram-Powell, gradually moved into more progressive/doom metal territory.

Kemp, with Maddy Prior and Abbie Lathe, co-facilitates singing workshops at Stones Barn in Cumbria.
