A girl singing songs and playing the guitar, all nice and lovely like :)
I was born in the road racing capital of the world in the year Elvis Presley died. I grew up listening to my Dad's music and dreaming of being an actress. The acting thing didn't work out, but being born a noisy girl with the affliction of a sensitive soul, there had to be an outlet. I started writing poetry in my teens (don't we all?) and progressed to songs in my early 20's. My first complete song (Sunday Sundown) came in a flash of inspiration despite my complete lack of musical ability. So I went out and I bought me a gee-taw, a beautiful blue Tanglewood by the name of Louis. He and I have whiled away many a night, wondering where it all went wrong, who made it right and when oh when would we ever learn?
After 10 years in Bolton, I have come home to the Isle of Man. A beautiful and magical place where people believe in Faeries, the sea is never too far away and my drinking is considered perfectly reasonable. Deep joy!
