Siobhan has been performing her heartfelt acoustic music since the tender age of fourteen, starting around her local South East London scene. She was encouraged to do so by her parents, whose 60s/ 70s eclectic record collection was a breath of fresh air, as opposed to the early nineties music she was subjected to, given her age. At seventeen, she sang lead vocals on an Alabama 3 song 'Bulletproof' from their album 'Power In The Blood'. That same year she signed a publishing deal with 4AD Music (home of the Pixies, Cocteau Twins, etc). Since then she has toured extensively around the UK and Europe, supporting artists as diverse as Evan Dando, Damien Dempsey, Roddy Frame, Mr David Viner, Jimmy Cliff, Glenn Tilbrook and The Magic Numbers.
She released her debut album 'Repeat To Fade' on IRL (Sinead O'Connor, Tinariwen) in 2004.
Siobhan is currently recording her second album in Dublin, due to be released in September. Look out for new songs on this site...
'Reviews for Repeat To Fade:
'Her songs give the impression of having been soaked in whiskey, dust and turmoil for decades – with a spellbinding voice to match.' (Drowned in Sound)
