Jo Hollands

Jo Hollands was the band’s original singer and lyricist. Joining shortly after Ben and Colin had written Leaving It All Behind, she rapidly became involved in the writing process and her quirky lyrics and vocal melodies are showcased in Cider Sue and Secret Shadow, and the unreleased staple of the original live set, Rapunzel.

She left Fusion Orchestra 2 at the end of 2011, having decided to (in her own words), “hop onto a different sort of magic carpet.”
