Formerly ‘Rare Unit’, the 8 piece live outfit Poetiquette have been synonymous with Artizan’s bosses Jafar and Andy ‘Touch’fingers, since Rare Unit’s first three releases on the Kwaito Recordings imprint back in 2003. Since then, the group has developed considerably into a collective of seasoned musicians now boasting drummer Toby Goodman (Kid Creole & The Coconuts/ Beverley Knight / Anna Krantz) and bassist Pete Billington (Alison Moyet/ Jamie Cullum). Poetiquette calls upon a rich musical heritage and diversity, something that contributes greatly to both their live sets and studio works. Poetiquette are:
HANNAH KHEMOH – Lead Vocalist, Lyricist
ANDY TOUCHFINGERS – Keys, Production, Lyricist, Backing Vocals, Tour DJ
JAFAR – Turntablism / Dex n Effex, Production, Tour DJ
