I am a solo artist and specialise in Folk and Renaissance Music, originally written for Lute and Voice. I have been performing in Folk Clubs since I was 17, initially at The Coach House, Farningham, Kent. Presently I am signed to Pixie-Tricks Heritage and Media Ltd, and am currently recording a CD that will include a selection of songs by John Dowland. My husband Matthew will be accompanying me on classical guitar.
Why this name?
It's just my name!
Do you play live?
Yes, have played at various folk clubs, and have performed several recitals of renaissance music with Matthew my husband.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it changes things but it's the way things are...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No, unless renaissance music became very widely popular- although I love this style of music I realise that album sales are never going to be massive.
