Joan As Policewoman

Joan As Policewoman brings its songwriting and string-led sound to the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds. The project is a singer-songwriter and violinist's vehicle, formed in the early 2000s.

Joan As Policewoman is a project led by a singer-songwriter and violinist, active since the early 2000s. Its debut album, Real Life, appeared in 2004, and the later record To Survive followed in 2008. The music combines personal, confessional lyrics with violin and carefully arranged vocals, placing the project within the intimate end of contemporary singer-songwriter writing.

The act's recorded catalogue is the reference point for a live evening, with songs from both albums forming the core of the material. This visit to Leeds gives audiences the chance to hear that work performed in person.

The Howard Assembly Room hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this evening is a concert by Joan As Policewoman, suited to listeners who know the records or want an introduction to the project's songwriting.
