Kate Bush, Prince, Dave Grohl, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, The Lakes Blues Band, JJ Cale, John Martyn, Jeff Buckley, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Beck, Dylan, Matt Johnson, Sheila Chandra, Radiohead...I like too much music in too many genres to know what has influenced my own music.
Started penning tunes a while ago but ones that counted since 2004, gathering courage while jammin wi Iona Marshall as 'Soul Alba'. When Iona went on her travels along her own road, I kept playing and gathered enough stuff to make an album 'Hello' with the essential guidance of Dave McGruer (recording, mixing, bass, graphics and patience) and rhythms of Stuart Clark (every percussion instrument under the sun!).
Currently singer, guitarist and co-songwriter in TOWNHOUSE with Stuart Clark and John Farrell (and keeping pretty busy thank you) most of the new project sounds appear on the band page - www.myspace.com/townhousesound. Check it out as there are a couple of fresh recordings for your pleasure x

Hey chick, Like the changes to the profile and the background picture is lovely. How goes it? We'll need to meet up before it gets to be a full 12 months since our last catch up. Sun, beer, and pub garden sometime soon? x
