In2002 Park Records released the a cappella folk album Bib and Tuck by 'Maddy Prior And The Girls', a trio composed of Maddy Prior, RoseKemp
and Abbie Lathe. Rose wrote, and sang lead vocals on, several of the album's tracks. Rose's first solo album Glance, an acoustic poprecord, was
released on Park Records in 2003. Rose subsequently toured with The Oyster Band as part of The Big Session, appearing withthem across the
UK and Europe. 2004 saw a considerable change in the direction of Rose's musical output. She recorded a mini-album,originally entitled 'The
Free To Be Me E.P' but later renamed simply 'Mini-Album', at Warehouse Studios in Oxford with members of TheFourers. The new recording was
very much a rock record, with Rose playing electric guitar and taking charge of the arrangements andproduction for the first time in her career.
Rose signed an album deal with One Little Indian Records in July 2005, and recorded her second fulllength album, 'A Hand Full of Hurricanes', at
studios in Bristol and Cardiff with producer Charlie Francis. This album was released in February2007. She has spent much of the time since its
recording touring the UK and Europe. A new studio album, Unholy Majesty was produced byChris Sheldon and was released on September 1. « hide |
