My stage name in my younger years was Margaret Kelly, but decided to keep my real name at this stage in my life.

I have occasionally performed in karaoke and tested a song out there once. It went down better than I expected, so really want to do more if I can.

Internet has already opened doors for me. I have shared one of my songs with so many people and sites and the fact that it is free or low costing helps a great deal.

I prefer the small companies or would if I got offered, the big labels make enough and are also control freaks with their artistes. They dictate what you should sing and how. Yuk!!

Singing, music has always played a vital part of my life from a very early age. I always used to sing around the house from about the age of 4, 5, was always in every school choir. Joined a youth choir in a church I belonged to and yes, we got on "Songs Of Praise" LOL. I then performed in the clubs up and down the North West of England mainly. I emmegrated to South Africa for a few years and had the pleasure of performing on the same show as Paul Simon, Wayne Fantana, Eddie Calvert (don't think anyone will know who he is LOL ) . Came to Scotland in 1979 and formed a band called "My Generation". Found that it was harder finding gigs as most venues worked through agents, I hardly ever used them and still don't like them. LOL. I was diagnosed with COPD (Emphysema) in 2002 and thought my singing days were over. Came across a karoke site online where I sang and started to strengthen my voice again. I can do a fair job, even though I say so myself. I love the folk that use the site and have found some fantastic voices there. I hope to reproduce some of the songs I have written in the past and hopefully get them heard.

Country, folk, spiritual, ballads, more or less are the genre of my compositions.

Baapsfontein outside Johannesburg South Africa. Don't know if that still exists nowadays though, lol. Queens Clevleys, nr Blackpool - The Dolphin. That has probably gone too now, lol.

I used to play rhythm guitar mainly when I was younger, but since diagnosed with the lung condition, I purchased a yamaha organ and taught myself enough to form backing tracks for my songs.

I look forward to meeting people on soundclick and listening to artistes music.
