Shirley creates songs which are quirky, insightful, and sumptuously layered, melding beautiful melodies with novel lyrics to create soundscapes that leave you wanting more. She finds herself drawn to writing about people and place, often taking inspiration from poetry, folklore, and the natural world.
What a fabulous record by Shirley and the matching video! Beautiful.

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.

Shirley is a cool new voice on the roots side of the Scottish music scene. Bound for greatness I’d say!
