Bolton
Bright Shapes are a three piece acoustic band who formed in August of 2010. The band consist of Jane Sweeney (lead vocalist/Pianist) Joshua Warburton (bass guitar, Double bass and backing vocals) and Kurt Crompton (acoustic and eletric guitar and backing vocals) The band were born when Jane Sweeney entered a competition called Open Mic uk back in late 2010. Not thrilled with the idea of singing to backing tracks she decided to get a guitarist. Jane and Kurt first met during a chance meeting at the gig of some mutual friends. She contacted him a few days later asking if they could jam and maybe work on one of her songs for the competition. Quickly they realised that a much fuller sound was needed and Jane enlisted the help of her school friend and on/off band member Josh. They rehearsed together and quickly realised they had that elusive thing, "chemistry." They advanced through the competition to play the Grand Final of Open Mic UK at the o2 arena in London. They decided that regardless of the outcome of the competition what they had as a group was far too good to just stop and now they are working tirelessly trying to "make it!" in this crazy business. They love to write music, play live together and hope to brighten peoples day along the way!
