Uniquely me - or else wass the point huh? But I guess along the lines of tracy thorn / annie lennoxish perhaps?
POWERFULL - That's what people say!
This is one of the most promising current female singer songwriters on the live circuit, raw but beautifully warm power driven vocals that ooze sensuality... foot tapping and head bobbing tunes that make you wanna get down with your lover on a secluded beach on a steamy day - potentially massive.

Hello and thanks for adding me, you were fantastic on Sunday, wish I could have stayed for more but I was unwell so had to go. Hope to see you again soon, best wishes, Mary xx
Hey Miss McVey, How come you aint been busking, Down an underpass around my way, Where the fog is made of treacle, And the wine is made of hey..!!!' Where my ears have all but dried up, In the tinkling on that tune, Where you carouseled and painted me, The same colour as the moon, And it aint just that i missed you Or had nothing else to do, But I could hear it in the silence, And it could be no-one else but you.
Well well Miss McVey.... you still prowling the scurryways and lost leafy avenues.... anyway
Just stopping by to bring you the very warmest of wishes for this Christmas/Holiday period….. I hope your world in this time is completed by having those that you love and care for, either around you, or safe, wherever they are….it’s by far the best gift of all….. ….and furthermore that this lasts you right the way through 2009 until we arrive at the same day once again….and then we can continue all over again in exactly the same way…
Hey little one, hope life is treating you well... I wanted to go see your mom but can't get hold of her?!?!? Whats the dealio with you, are you residing in London now? Love and huggles Ms McVey... PS I have my own transport now, got me a motorcycle :D Oh and my own flat... I really wanna see you perform if ya still doing ya gigs... Chat soon your evasive cuz...
Yeah - was good fun, and yes, you were on the wobbly side of things for definite but lovely nonetheless. Got an interesting proposition for you as well - might give you a ring in a bit. xx
Hi Heather. We have a very strange weather at Paris (sun + rain + sun + rain ...). But it is always very sunny when I visit your page.
Tomorrow, it will be the National Day un France in memory of the french revolution in 1789.
Hope all is well with you, my dear pretty new friend, and hope this week would bring u much joy and love in life with many musical colors...among all the best things that could happen. Take good care and i definitely hope to hear from you again. Jean-Pierre (Paris-France)
