"Bess has a strong sense of collaboration and contributing ideas really elevated my songs to new heights; I couldn't recommend working with her enough"
Georgie Taylor
"Bess brings a grounded, professional energy to band rehearsals - she is prepared, enthusiastic and receptive to musical ideas I bring to her, intuitively translating them into stunning bass parts that serve the song well. I adore the silly, fun and supportive personality Bess brings to live performance, all whilst consistently nailing her part on bass and backing vocals.
