"The penultimate act Beth Wilmshurst, a solo acoustic artist, sat alone on the stage and although she didn't move throughout her set, you could tell she had moved the audience with her sweet, angelic voice. Her song Clay Heart was amazing, it just had such meaning. You could imagine Beth playing a big stage at night with just a spotlight on her encapsulating her audience with her melodic voice while you chilled with a beer and a loved one." - Lesley-Anne Brown, T Break 2008 "..some seriously heartfelt and seriously hypnotic original songs, a voice that's strong yet warm and guitar work that has hints of twelve string to it.." - Andy G, Dead Earnest

Thought you might be interested in this…we’ve got Martin Atkins (Nine Inch Nails/Ministry/Public Image Limited/Invisible Records etc) coming to the Tolbooth, Stirling this Friday (5th) to give a free lecture about how to get gigs and put a tour together. Doors open at 6pm, lecture starts at 7pm till 9pm. Great opportunity to grab some advice from a top music industry pro for free.
What a beautiful sound! You've got a fantastic blend of soaring vocal and raw earthy instrumentation that makes your music so real and honest. But it's quirky too in places and that gives it an added edge that sets it apart from other female singer/ songwriters. Good luck with what you are doing. Love from Ireland, Michelle xoxox
