Hellooooooo!! So this is my website!! If you want the "formal" one then click onto www.mariesings.com
I'm on a break at the moment - just finished my degree - I got a 2:1 in Music & Maths.
I hope you enjoy the music you hear on this website, all written and sung by MOI!! Please feel free to comment!! I update the site regularly ... well ... most of the time!! I love hearing from you and manage to answer all your mail myself (life, work etc permitting!!) Especially check out the "people I've gigged with" part, to see who I'm supporting/check out some other great music!!
A bit about me...
Well to start with the phrase I most hear is "How does such a big voice come out of someone so little?" It is true, I am 5'1" (if that!!) and yet I can sing louder than most!!! But that is my gift.
I play piano and cello (who is called Bob... all instruments should have names!!!).
I love picking up new instruments and having a go!!
You can find out more on "the other website"... www.mariesings.com!!!
Please come back and check up on me from time to time, and keep in touch!!
