Snippet's Friends

Profile Information

About my artwork: "Colchester based 'Snippet' produce quirky pop music with funky folky twist.
Snippet's music is shot through with a dry sense of humour, toasty warm vocals, guitars and ukuleles alongside various sounds delivered via a quirky imagination.
The music style sits somewhere between laptop folk and funky lounge electronica.

Snippet’s debut 4 track e.p ‘I’m Peckish’ has just been released on the independent electronic music imprint Steal My Oil records.

Snippet is the brainchild of singer/songwriter/musician Johnno Casson.
For a while Johnno has been in a number of bands; most notably with Deep Joy,a Trip hop outfit who released music through Mo’ Wax records amongst others.

Snippet also writes and works with other artists. A recent collaboration has been with the Dutch troubadour 'Wim Oudijk’ for a version of the Snippet favourite 'Just to let u know'. The original version of 'Just to let u know' is also included on the Norwegian compilation CD - "Around the world with My Little Pony, vol.1" from ace Norwegian band 'My Little Pony'.

If you fancy something a little cheeky, squeaky and quite uniquey then throw on your shades, pull up a deckchair and dip your toe in!"

I've gotta say I'm a blue( or green) kinda guy.

Who is the artist of this fine work?

At 11:11pm on 27th August 2008, Wim Oudijk said…: Isn't it big? Isn't it blue?
Well, it's even bigger now, but the blue has vanished miraculously and is replaced by a murky greyish color... I might paint it shocking pink...
what do you think?
