Toyface

Formed in 2007 after a chance meeting in the back of a broke down traveller's truck - both hailing from the Bristol/Somerset area, Tamsyn and James started writing and performing songs together shortly afterwards. Lyrics and melodies are provided by Tamsyn, around which James builds the piano pieces and the rest of the band play. Described as 'old swing in a new style', Tamsyn's songwriting resides somewhere between fun-time party music and more conscientious, emotional lyricism.
