Ginny and John



Kiss The Mistress came into its first incarnation back in 1995, when Ginny and John, asked to play as a fiddle/box duo for a fund raiser event in Hertford were stuck for a name. A hastily grabbed Brewers dictionary, a random page opened and a finger point led to KTM and this was the name used for three or four years by the duo in the Hertfordshire area.

After following various other creative projects for a decade, John decided to add a new instrument to his musical collection and ordered his chromatic button accordion. A period of intense learning followed, during which Ginny realised that her fiddle playing skills would be inadequate to meet the less common keys that the accordion could play in. As a result she started to redevelop her 'cello playing which was left behind after University.

The end result was the reconvening of Kiss The Mistress with its exciting new additions of the amazing Roy!
