08/1/12Great start to the year so far....don't know where the last nine months have gone. Ayla just 3, Ruben coming up to ten months and thinking back on last year makes me bubble because it was so full of little adventures. Did some great intimate gigs through the summer and started recording new material..even busy with Zolibeau with Fashion shows, workshops, so what in it for 2012 i wonder?Had and exciting first week to the New Year with some positive meetings, vintage fabric from Japan for Zolibeau Spring/summer and studio time booked for Feb! Can't believe i'm going to have to fit all this in around the children but some how all feels like the right thing!9/4/11Gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Ruben 23rd March. We're all doing really well. Thanks for all my cards and messages X18/3/11NEW WEBSITEJust finished building my new site. Still not complete but hope most information is up for now. Been trying to get it finished before baby No2 arrives! There should be some more videos going up soon from a festival i performed at last year called YMUNO. Hopefully i'll have time to keep you all posted over the next few months..maybe put up a new pic of little Harris part duex.10/3/11BABY NUMBER TWOJulia is just about to give birth to her second child. She has taken time out over the past two years being a mum to daughter Ayla. Julia also set up Zolibeau in Dec 2009, a project with her sister, upcycling clothes and running recycled fashion workshops throughout South Wales. You can still catch her doing one off intimate gigs in her hometown in Cardiff or at festivals during the summer...watch this space.
about 
Cape Town, Seychelles and Dublin make up just some of the places Julia has lived, and the last five years have seen Julia settle back into her native Wales.Encouraged to start gigging solo off the back of a few successful openers, Julia and a friend hired the Norwegian Arts Centre, Cardiff, for a debut gig in January 2003. She went on to release a live recording 'Everything Under The Sun' selling all 500 copies in a matter of weeks with the help of HMV, Cardiff. On moving to Dublin In July 2003, Julia became quickly immersed in the Dublin Circuit, playing along side Declan O' Rourke and The Hot House Flowers. She regularly featured live on radio, and won best act at an open mic competition in Dublin City - the money going towards a ridiculously high Gas bill!With such a great response to her music, Julia set up her own label 'RedCase' in 2005 to release her music. To date, she has released several self funded CDs. Building up a fan base all of her own, Julia toured all over UK, supporting the likes of Damien Rice and Welsh songstress Amy Wadge.In 2009, Julia gave birth to daughter Ayla and to this date has taken more time out to enjoy motherhood. She set up Zolibeau in December 2009, a fashion label dedicated to recycling and reinventing clothing to sell on and has been running upcycling workshops for the last year. 2011 saw Julia give birth to her second child, Ruben in March. She went on to play a few festivals during the summer and started recording some new material in September with the hope of finally getting out to tour again in 2012. The autumn was alive and vibrant as Julia worked hard alongside sister Sarah continuing to promote Zolibeau. They organised and created a collection for a fashion show 'MADE' for The Made in Roath festival in October and started a Re:fash course, teaching people how to recycle thier clothing with great success. With 2012 now in flow, Julia is set to record again during February and is enjoying writing songs again, something that in Julia's words has taken a back seat for a long time. With another collection to make for Spring/Summer, an exibition and a tour to book, this year has already got Julia bubbling with excitment!Stay tuned.___________________________________________You can check out Julia's progress with Zolibeau via twitter or www.zolibeau.com
