Jo Ash began playing piano at the age of nine, working out that she took most of the enjoyment from creating her own pieces. She took lessons until she reached Grade 6 and then continued to self-teach...

She moved to the city from Newmarket in November last year, has spent two years making the album - but the final stages of its creation have been completed since being in Ely.

Jo’s album, titled ‘Constellations’, will be launched at Julia’s Tearooms on October 5 as part of their regular music nights.

Jo – who also fronts Cambridge rock band, Derecho - will perform most of the album tracks on the night, as well as a couple of songs from her previous EP releases.

Jo’s previous work includes singing in a professional covers band, writing and performing for a semi-pro rock jazz fusion band, and singing and playing on Mike Ellis’ album Me/Lp v.1.
