About Me

Brooke Sharkey is an exceptional singer, guitarist and songwriter at just 19 years old. She was born in England but lived in France for 8 years, from the age of nine. Being bi-lingual, she sings as easily in French as she does in English. Brooke's style is relaxed and poetic as for her voice, she has been compared to eva Cassidy and Nora Jones.Since her return to England, she has gigged with her father Geoff Sharkey, a seasoned professional, and silenced noisy audiences with her pure and strong vocals. Brooke performs on the following CD's: 'Rural Revolution', 'Emma 2006', both compilation albums and her own albums; 'the feel' and most recently, a live studio work, 'live@redroque'. This showcases 11 self-penned tracs, on which she plays guitar and sings solo. This is as close you get to a real performance, no tricks, no overdubs, just talent and feel.Brooke Sharkey est une chanteuse et guitariste exceptionelle et originale. A maintenant 19 ans, elle ecrit des chansons depuis 9 ans. Cela fait 2 ans quelle a quitee la France pour retourner dans son pays d'origine mais elle a passe 8 ans de sa vie dans les deux-seves. Etant bilingue, elle chante aussi confortablement en Francais, qu'en Anglais. Son style est tres poetique et detendu, et sa voix a ete comparee a celle d'eva Cassidy et Nora Jones. Depuis son retour en Angleterre, elle a fait de nombreuses concerts avec son pere geoff Sharkey, un musician professionel mature et a fait taire de grandes audiences avec sa voix pure et forte.

Cet album est fait live, sans effects, sans harmonies, juste Brooke et sa guitarre...tout simplement. C'est le plus pres qu'on peut etre d'une vraie performance...''Brooke and Geoff Sharkey also received a rousing demand for an encore after their beautiful and haunting version of Here, There and Everywhere and the classic track Yesterday.''Bexhill on sea, The observer April 2008
