My Musical Journey

I have been playing music most of my life, starting with the moothie and fiddle. In my teenage years, I took up the guitar and started playing covers. It wasn't until my early twenties, in Aberdeen, that I discovered ceilidh and folk music, took a deep dive into the world of late-night sessions and joined various ceilidh bands, first The Reel Aliens, followed by Mabel Meldrum's. Both bands played all over the north east of Scotland and beyond.

I also discovered singing and writing songs, which I explored with my brilliant band mates in The Fabulamas. We wrote and performed mainly original material highlighting some of the injustices we face as women.

In the early 90's, I moved to Edinburgh and took a break from music. In 2012, I bought a new guitar, dusted off my mandolin and my fiddle and began writing songs.

I reckon it's the best venue in town. The acoustics are awesome. No need for amps and mics. Set up and ready to go in 5 min.
