About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

'her mesmerizing voice and magnetic stage presence should encourage many to follow where she leads... about to hit the big time' THE GUARDIAN

"Soul-bearing songs of great beauty from the best British vocalist to emerge in an age" THE INDEPENDENT

'Not Alone' the debut album is on general release in UK, France, Germany and Norway and is also available in the US via Amazon (at a domestic price so not a mega IMPORT price) or via CD Baby to anywhere in the world if you click here:

this is the next live gig:

you can buy tickets in advance for this one because the venue is very small - follow the yougottickets link on the flyer

and finally... this video was made a little while ago now but for one reason or another has taken quite a while to get an airing. so here it is, "Paradise" from the 'Not Alone' album, video filmed and produced by The TerrorBull Twins. Enjoy... it's my first ever video. Jx
