Having previously been a part of pop punk band Shelley's Children, Tracey's solo career was launched almost by accident when she was encouraged by her children to write a protest song against a planned by-pass that would ruin their local riverside dens and rope swings.
She went in to the studio to record 'Nowhere Left to Play', planning to send it out to local radio and TV stations. With that song recorded in three minutes and a whole hours studio time booked, she just carried on playing, and recorded all the other songs she had written at the time. This became 'The By-pass Demo'.
Robb Johnson heard the demo and within a few months 'If the Moon Could Talk' was recorded for UNLABELLED, a co-operative off-shoot of Robb's IRREGULAR RECORDS.
The last three years have seen Tracey taking her music to folk festivals, punk festivals, veggie cafes, folk clubs, theatres, pubs, clubs, prisons and Oxfam shops playing with Chumbawamba, Attila the Stockbroker, American political singer/songwriter David Rovics, Robb Johnson, Leon Rosselson and Roy Bailey on tours of the UK.
Her second CD 'Picture Postcards' was released in November 2006 and was promoted with tours of the UK and the USA.

Thanks for the add-really looking forward to hearing you at Oxjam in Tenby, you've really got it going on with your songs and they just keep getting better. Thanks for the inspiration, and the tears! Big Love.
I think your song "I Won't Wear The Union Jack" is a real classic! It's a well-crafted song...with ,I'm sure, heartfelt lyrics and you sing it beautifully. It treads a nice line between being critical of nationalism, while still remembering the community you've come from, and the things in this world that are of value. Good work.
Here in Australia in 2009 we're still wearing the Union Jack. One of these days we'll grow up and find a new symbol, maybe we could use the BHP Billiton logo? Yes, there is plenty to be cynical of, whether you're in Britain or Australia. It's just a shame to have to look the world and appreciate all the brutality and oppression that takes place. Pick your nation, and then open up the closet and gaze at all the skeletons.
But then
"It doesn't matter where you're from, but who you are"
Hi Tracey, listening to your wonderful songs always gets me fired up. I'm now going to take it out on the upholstery. Cheers and best wishes from very desperate housewife.
