Horse McDonald is a unique talent. A musician all of her life, her career has spanned three decades, seven albums, eight singles, hundreds of live appearances, and the inevitable ups and downs of life in the creative spotlight. She has performed alongside artists as diverse as Tina Turner, Robbie Williams, Burt Bacharach, Bryan Ferry, BB King, Aztec Camera, Nanci Griffith, Sir Ian McKellen, Lesley Garrett, Pet Shop Boys, All Saints, Kid Creole, Culture Club, Erasure and is currently writing with Michelle McManus. She is highly appreciated by a large and enthusiastic fan base. A brave artist, she sees no boundaries to her genre, having performed live with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra at the famous Barrowland(subsequently released as a live album - Both Sides). She has also appeared on legendary 1980s TV show The Tube. In 1998 she staged the Our Lips Shouldnt Touch show over a ten night run at the drill hall in London, singing everything from Doris Day to Gluck via Madonna. The same year she performed at both Celtic Connections and the Edinburgh International Festival.
Following an album of covers - Coveted, and a critically acclaimed live album Only all of me, Horse has recently completed a new studio album - working with her trademark energy, creativity, and enthusiasm. The single, "Same Old, Same Old" was a taster for a new album "Red Haired Girl", currently scheduled for full release in mid-2007.
Horse McDonald has been described as an artist 'who wouldn't have been out of place on the stax or motown labels in their heyday'. Often called 'the voice', she has an amazing pedigree, is utterly unique, and continues to astonish.
