Testimonials
What a fabulous record by Shirley and the matching video! Beautiful.
Mike Scott
(The Waterboys)
Shirley’s songwriting is intricate and understated. Her delivery
is gentle and genuine, her sense of musicianship makes it hard
to believe she has only been in the business for a relatively
short time.
Ewan MacPherson
(Hushman, Salt House, Shooglenifty)
Shirley is a cool new voice on the roots side of the Scottish music scene. Bound for greatness I’d say!
