Horse McDonald is a unique talent.

She has performed alongside artists as diverse as Tina Turner, Robbie Williams, Burt Bacharach, Bryan Ferry, BB King, Aztec Camera, Nanci Griffith, Sir Ian McKellen, Lesley Garrett, Pet Shop Boys, All Saints, Kid Creole, Culture Club, Erasure and is currently writing with Michelle McManus.

Alan McKim
The self-styled solo singer/songwriter IS GNARLING HIS WAY to the creation of a new acoustic genre on the back of artist-led foot thumping commercial chorus chants, nastily clever lyrics and seriously infectious hooks.
A live performance entrenched in heart, mind, body & soul commitment to the cause is enthralling at least, mesmerising at best. Fury, angst, love, desire and loss are the tools but the craft is in the vitalised emotive delivery which challenges the audience to feel what he feels...this, is the connection, which sets him apart.
