Pippa Rogers

Moonlight Radio present Pippa Rogers, a singer and songwriter based in Cardiff here's a little info about her.

Growing up in a music loving family Pippa was surrounded by a range
of musical influences hearing everything from The Beatles to The
Incredible String Band to Pink Floyd but it was always the strong
female voices that most caught her attention.
"When I was younger it was all about The Carpenters, I loved Karen
Carpenter's voice. I used to rifle through my parent's record
collections listening to Janis Joplin, Judy Collins, Carole King,
Helen Reddy - a real musical mixture!"

This diverse list of influences led Pippa to try a lot of different
styles in her writing before finding the perfect fit with her
current acoustic indie/pop sound.

In February 2004 Pippa started playing open mic nights with
guitarist Chris Malpass. As the year went on the gigs got bigger
taking in a variety of venues including The Riverfront (Newport),
The Popfactory (Porth) and Barfly (Cardiff). Pippa's songs started
being picked up by local and internet radio stations and receiving
positive reviews all over the place!
November 2004 saw the biggest gig to date at Cardiff's St David's
Hall as the support act for Lulu.

2005 has been a good year so far too. A music video has been
recorded for 'I've Been Loved' (thanks to the NSMA and SubTV) and
the band line up has been completed with Lucy Davis on flute, James
Baynham on guitar, Jamie Bradshaw on drums and Tim Morgan on bass.
