ANNE- MARIE HELDER of KARNATAKA at R.M.A. Tavern on Saturday 29th January On Saturday, The R.M.A. is the setting for a rare duo gig, when the stunning singer Anne-Marie Helder will be joined by Dave Kilminster on guitar. Both are members of the band Karnataka, tipped by Classic Rock Magazine as their "Future Classic" band. Karnataka have been described as a cross between The Corrs and Pink Floyd at their most melodic - powerful stuff indeed - and in the band, Anne-Marie joins Rachel Jones as shared vocalist and flautist. Anne -Marie also plays guitar, flute, piano and a myriad of other instruments. A prolific writer, she writes a great deal of material for herself, Karnataka and other bands which she also belongs to on a part time basis. Karnataka were last seen in Southsea headlining the Monday night at The Southsea Folk & Roots Festival in 2003, when they performed a stunning set, and received a standing ovation form the audience. Last year Karnataka supported Midge Ure at the Isle Of Wight Festival, and he was so impressed that Anne-Marie is suporting him on many up and coming dates on his 2005 tours. Guitarist Dave Kilminster, also a member of Karnataka, has just returned from the U.S.A. playing for Keith Emerson and The Scorpions. ANNE- MARIE HELDER with DAVE KILMINSTER of KARNATAKA appear at the R.M.A. Tavern in Cromwell Rd., Eastney, on Saturday 29th January - admission is free
