Bio
Penni is a well respected singer songwriter who refuses to be constrained by musical style. She writes from the heart and in doing so has won the hearts of many. Penni has performed both solo and with duos and groups in the UK and Europe She has worked for radio and in all areas of the media and has run numerous workshops on song writing. Many of her superb songs have been recorded by other artists – the ultimate accolade. Penni’s unique open tuned guitar style, coupled with a voice that carries wide musical depth and range has been described as “the perfect match”. .. Her performances are an intimate affair with the audience, engaging on an emotional and musical level. Penni's musical past has included many styles including Folk, Jazz and Rock. .. 'It's all about the music and however you choose to enjoy it'.. Song info:-..The Mothers Daughter ..I wrote the lyrics a while ago but was never totally happy with the melody so wrote the new one this month and added a bridge, I couldn't get the lyrics to work so enlisted the assistance of My myspace friend Craig Herbertson who wrote the lyrics for the bridge in the song so huge thanks to him for that. ,.. Etheldreda was written for Fensong, and accompanied by 'Lord of the Strings'Bryan Causton'playing bazouki ,.. The Reluctant Bride came into being on the M6 and finished off with some stirling work from Red Shoes and a wee dram!!written as just a bit of fun to get through the Winter months ..The Gloaming Hour is one of the arrangements I did of the beautiful song by the very talented singer/songwriter Craig Herbertson, you can here his original work on his site and my other arrangement, sorry about poor sound quality on my arrangements but technology and me ..enough said !! ... hope to record this again soon with someone who knows what they are doing... Travelling Man, live recording , just me and my guitar... Dom Spero, me and my Taylor in Bryan and Carolyns Kitchen, Bryan on Bazouki, he has only got the eight fingers !!!.. Bonny Boy, me guitar and vocals and Alun Rhys Jones (Rhyll Folk Club) on whistle, from the cd The Skippers Daughter 101 records... Currently Working with .. Bryan Causton,.. Fionn Faer, Celtic Trio.. FenSong project with Clare Crossman (poet) CD out 7th March 2009.. As far as my musical influences go, spent my very early childhood listening to boogie woogie, jazz and swing and a whole lot of classical music ,got radio and moved straight on to hearing just about everything else..loved Yes, The Alan Parsons Project, Gong, Hawkwind, Steely Dan, Genesis and The Groundhogs to mention but a few, sang in a Hawkwind covers band and sung backing vocals for a rockabilly band too when I was about 17,much to the chagrine of my parents, did nothing else until I heard my first live folk music, by accident really in 1992 and have loved it ever since.. and have been very priveliged to work with some amazing musicians over the years..my love of music is hard to explain , I still get swept away by the emotion of a wonderful song or melody or a wonderful singer ..just can't even begin to explain that..been like it all my life..the first piece of music that really got me was Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughn Williams when I was about 4,and I was at school and it was embarrasing, the teacher always gave me very odd looks afterwards .I'm not brilliant at deep and meaningful quotes but ''a life without music would be way too quiet''.. Many thanks for coming to listen...Penni x.. Guitars..Taylor 614ce.. Larrivee C-09.. Cittern-Fylde.. ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Dark Nature.. / ..Comments.. .. -

Hi,
Thanks for visiting our site and being our friend. We are a rock 'n' roll band out of Southern California in the vein of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. If you like The Rolling Stones, you will probably like us as we play that same blues based rock style that they do. Best wishes.

Hi Penni,
thanks for being friends with my new band, too.
Hope to meet you (perhaps when playing with Craig?) somewhere in our area.
Greetings from here to there ;-)

My dearest Penni, it's been months since we have talked, my bad indeed! I have been writing like a mad man for months...3rd album nearing completion and the songs for the 4th 90% in the bag...I spend way too much time on my facebook site (michael douglas bray) doing business and talking with fellow song writers in other states?
I hope all is well, talk soon, Mike - Burma R Due1 year ago
