From New Broom’s skiffley melodies, Wintersweet’s minor key confection, to the soaring Big Blue Sky, Woodward’s voice and the assured playing is highly infectious”.

Sounds Like:

Minisnap .. a bit like The Bats but with Kaye singing her songs which aren't really much like The Bats. Hearing is believing. Pop / Folk / Punk / Pure? ..
