Having graduated with a Music Composition degree from Coventry University in 2008, Kristy has supported, Scott Matthews, Glynn Tilbrook (of squeeze), Nerina Pallot, Nate James, Polly Paulusma, Ben Arthur and Nizlopi. With acoustic songs of life, Kristy continues to Play............

"The reason Kristy is one of Coventry's most talked about artists is quite simple - She's brilliant. !" - Dayle Crutchlow - Coventry Evening Telegraph.

"It's good to see Coventry music thriving again and most impressive are the songs of a talented young singer songwriter - Kristy Gallacher. Her songs all tell an evocative and heartfelt story with great wit, ingenuity and rhythm. I was truly blown away with them and the new full band versions on her album (some of which can be heard on Kristy's My Space) are astounding. Go check them out and buy her album - it's must-have!" Trev Teasdel - Hobo - Coventry Music On-Line music magazine.

"Kristy Gallacher has a fantastic voice and a fantastic collection of songs - all brusied,streetwise defiance. Singing in a voice like crushed petals she managed to do what the very best songwriters do - let you glimpse her soul and see yourself reflected in its surface." Jack - The Bomb Factory

"A truly sensational talent." Ben Turner BBC West Midlands Radio - Birmingham

"Beyond doubt a enthralling, enthuastic songwriter." Jimmy Franks

"Coventry's freshest acoustic folk lyricist." Colour@Quadrant Lounge

Hi Kristy

Great songs, great guitar and great voice - really enjoyed your performance at Hub bar last night - it was a pleasure to be on the same bill as you! Chris and I bought your album and we're looking forward to listening to it tonight.

I thought your performance was totally flawless and your new song 'Shame' really struck a chord with me - it's beautifully crafted and has a powerful sentiment running through. I wish you lots of success in the future and hope to play with you again some time soon.
