   About Ellen Mary McGee
I live in Hackney and play guitar, banjo, zither, dulcimer, bouzouki, drums etc. I have played with MV/EE, Ali Roberts, Directing Hand, Christina Carter, Bridget St John, Jack Rose, Marissa Nadler, Ghost.... I will have an album coming out in January 2009. "...spare, dreamy pop loveliness and hushed moments of introspection....like the flawed beauty of Tindersticks. This music is fragile stuff, slow and sad, but never less than compelling. " Foxy Digitalis

Hello!
Can't wait to see you, at Terrastock and will probably be around New York for your gig too (just got tickets to see Sonic Youth in Battery Park on 4th July but have to pick the tickets up on June 24th- will you be in NY then?)
anyway, took your US number. And mine is the same.
Lots of love and safe travels to you!

And i feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
