Alex Young & The Sirens

About Me

Alex Young- Lives in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Been singing and writing songs for 7 years. Loves when an audience is absorbed and a thought provoking atmosphere has been made. Once could be seen as the fuzzy, lace wearin', axe bearin' kindling breaker type. ............................................................ ................................................... ............................................................ ................................................... ............................................... 'with that voice...creamy and sweet as a glass of Bailey's, his is a classically-soulful vocal' ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................... -Jay Lawrence,No-Title Magazine .March Edition 2007 ............................................................ ................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................... 'Fabulous as always'- Russell Walker, BBC Radio Leeds. ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................... Sharron Stacy- brings a solid rhythm to the songs. She is partial to forgetting band members names on radio stations and people in er everyday life. Her knowledge of Austrailian mammals leaves something to be desired but she'll cook a mean supper for ya with every colour under the sun in it. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................ Kate Wragg- is the technically sound pianist with a knack of topplin of chairs and firey hair. If she ad her way she'd rehearse in a scarfe and PJs in an ice rink wi some skates.
