   About Emily Maguire
Emily Maguire is an independent singer-songwriter originally from London, now based on a farm in the Australian bush. Growing up without a TV at home, she developed a passion for books and music, learning to play classical cello, piano, flute and recorder. Then she discovered Bob Marley, taught herself to play his songs on the guitar, and when a chronic illness left her stuck at home for months on end, she started writing her own songs to pass the time.

A few years later, back on her feet and fed up with grey skies and concrete, she decided to give up her flat in London for a shack made from recycled wood, tin and potato sacks on a goat farm up in the hills behind the Sunshine Coast, Australia. There she overcame her snake phobia and recorded her critically acclaimed debut album 'Stranger Place' followed 2 years later by 'Keep Walking', writing and performing all the string arrangements for both albums. She set up her own record label Shaktu Records with partner Christian Dunham, financing her albums by making and selling goats cheese on the farm.

In March 2008, 'Keep Walking' was released through Universal in the UK and Ireland. The title track was playlisted on Radio 2 in the UK and on ABC Radio across Australia. From touring clubs and pubs in 2007, Emily was asked to support Don McLean on his UK tour, performing at all the major concert halls in the country including the Royal Albert Hall in London. In 2008 she played the acoustic stage at Glastonbury Festival and toured with Roddy Frame, Eric Bibb, The Blue Nile and Glenn Tilbrook.

Best-known for her strong, thought-provoking lyrics and "the kind of vocals that will melt your stereo" (Scene Magazine), Emily’s songs have won her fans across the globe. She is currently in London recording her third album with producer Philip Tennant, drummer Geoff Dugmore, bassist Christian Dunham, violinist Jae Yoo and guitarist Luke Potashnick.

'Keep Walking' is available in HMV and all good music shops in the UK and both Emily’s albums are available on Amazon and iTunes. Her forthcoming third album will be out in spring 2009. Fans can join her mailing list at www.emilymaguire.com to get regular updates on release dates and her tour schedule. Have a look and a listen and if you like what you hear, let her know you’re out there.

Hi, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your set last night at the Acoustic Club in Stortford. The previous time I saw you was at the Royal Albert Hall. Two very different venues I have to say, but equally as lovely! I especially liked the new track you played on the piano. Looking forward to buying the new album now. Sheila xx

Oups! You're right ... I just looked and I had forgotten about that message. Feeling sheepish.

Well, i'm glad you liked it :)
Stones have helped me a lot in my life. Rivers and stones. (isn't that a song?)

Have you heard the song by Joni Mitchell called 'Shine'? I think you might like it.

Am eagerly awaiting your new release and hoping our paths will cross in London soon.

Bisous and sorry for the confusion,

xoxo Soso :)
