Miranda has been described as a ‘musical chameleon’ reflecting the way that she so easily slips between musical genres as diverse as folk, jazz and rock / pop. She continues to build a solo repertoire of contemporary and narrative songs that are showcased to critical acclaim on her recent album “Bliss”. Miranda’s rich, spine tingling vocals and strident yet sensitive double bass playing are much in demand and she enjoys working alongside some of the finest musicians in the world. She is increasingly in demand both as a double bassist and singer and has worked with Pressgang, Robb Johnson, Firebrand, Steafan Hannigan, Leon Rosselson, Bill Jones, Roger Wilson, Alan Burke, Kirsty McGee, Jenny Crook, Reg Meuross and Little Johnny England; and has toured throughout the United Kingdom, North America, Canada and Europe. Miranda has recently started working in a duo with Rex Preston from The Scoville Units. He is the most virtuosic mandolin player in the UK. His style & fluidity augment Miranda's songs beautifully.

    Hey Miranda! The first time I heard you sing Rain it brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful. I'm working on an EP at the moment and today I recorded my own version and I'm very excited to hear how it sounds. I just want to thank you for being such an inspiration to me and to my music. Your album bliss has got me through some very difficult times. Hope all is going well for you. Kay xx

    Hi Miranda, hope you are well and touring happily. Have listened to one of your albums and seen you live, keep up the good work. I have recently recorded a version of Now You Know, Steve's new song, would love to know what you think of my interpretation.
