Am solo now but must credit my former band members with whom I had such fantastic times from 1999 to 2005. Katie Francis for her excellent harmonies and bass playing, and to Jez Sampson for his beautiful lead guitar work and, again excellent harmonies (which can be heard on tracks from our first EP "With A Why" and our LP "Underneath"). If you would like to buy a cd, please leave me a msg with contact details here and I'll get one out to you.
p.s. for all those post vinyl babies LP means long player! Aaah those were the days...days...days...days...
p.p.s. Genius piano work on "Could've Been" by Jason Soudah.
Influences
Elvis Presley, Eurythmics (the Annie half!!), Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, Michelle Shocked, Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco, Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Nina Simone, Nelly Furtado, 'Courntry' Music generally... Liking Jose Gonzalez at the moment and Scott Matthews...
Sounds Like
Would like to say 'Roll all the above into a musical ball and out pops a Scotty song', but that makes it sound like poo so.. will say my voice is.. well, you tell me.. and my lyrics are audible i.e. I try not to slurmywaythroughthesongsleavingeveryonewonderingwhatthehellImgoingonabout. Lotta folk think 'one woman with acoustic guitar = baaahoring. Throw tomatoes at me if it ever gets like that! I spill my guts with the songs and then sweep up inbetween with a bit of - how do you say - witty banter!
"Scotty has widespread appeal to anyone who's ever attempted to find clarity
in themselves, in others, in the shelves of the supermarket, or even the lady at the checkout.
In a survey of people with broken hearts and troubled minds, eighty percent admitted to feeling better after listening to Scotty singing about being miserable, hopeless and feeling tiny..
Despite her often self-deprecating themes, Scotty's songs are uplifting, soulful,
even funny. Her cracking riffs, brutally honest lyrics, and wry melodies carry
all the strength of triumph over adversity." -J Jay.
Read a recent review of Scotty's gig at Pembroke Acoustic Music club here!
The important bit is below.....
"First up was solo singer songwriter Scotty (pictured, formerly a regular
at Cromwell..s Tavern) who set the standards for the evening with her haunting,
witty and introspective songs. Its not often you get haunting and witty! A beautiful
warm and engaging performer, she was my favourite of the night."

Hi there. New song up, Viviendo en el error (Living a mistake). Hope you like it. The lyrics are translated in my blog, just in case someone might be interested. Have a great day.
Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about Are they mere memories of better days gone by Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ?
And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new When not even Everest could have kept me from you Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?
And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?
Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me As I laid in the cold suffering of torment Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?
As I now look forward to more of your magic Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic I see the horizons and I am reinfused
