Jessie Rose Trip
Hailed as Manchester’s secret weapon, The Jessie Rose Trip makes a musical statement that’s as loud and proud as Jessie’s pillar-box red hair and Biba-inspired fashion sense. They’ll be hitting the stage at Port Eliot with their Motown and Hendrix inspired songs.
Lead singer Jessie writes her own material and plays multiple instruments and cites everyone from Billie Holiday to John Frusciante as influences. “I’ve been brought up on soul music, 1960s Motown, Northern Soul, 1930s/40s jazz… stuff like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, The Supremes,” she says. “Mind you, my dad was a rocker so the love of Hendrix, Led Zep etc came from him.”
Their debut single, ‘Forever and a Day’ was produced by Jon Kelly (Kate Bush, Tori Amos) and released in 2009. Following the single, they won a recording trip to LA at the legendary Village Recorder Studios courtesy of John Kennedy’s X-Posure show and recorded several tracks including their new single ‘You Won’t Forget Me Boy’.
With her incredible vocals and guitar playing Jessie leads a versatile and charismatic performances showing inspirations from Jimi Hendrix to The Doors, with a twist of Motown into their own unique performing style.

“Not only is the band’s sound polished, but so is their image: readymade for TV and magazine appearances. Rose, with her Minnie Mouse bow, flame-red hair, vintage Oxfam outfit and electric guitar, milks her audience for all they’re worth, bounding around the stage and climbing atop of speakers; the crowd responds in kind, hooting and howling at every turn.”
