Rosie Doonan is an exciting new singer songwriter. She was raised in Yorkshire within a family of musicians, dancers and performers. Consequently her influences are a heady brew and range from the music of the sixties e.g the stones, Free, Joni Mitchel and Nina Simone and more recently Damien Rice, Sheryl Crow and Portishead.
“Moving On” her first solo project perhaps unsurprisingly focuses on making a fresh start and developing new ideas. Her songs suggest feelings of moving on, travelling and all the emotions of elation and despair of falling in and out of love.

Rosie went to the same school as my kids, her mother used to attend my belly dance class(although she is a morris dancer of long standing) and her dad is a member of the Doonan family band.
I've met her parents at many a gig up and down and always have a chat when we bump into each other at the supermarket.
I am pleased to see that Rosie has lots of gigs lined up this summer and I look forward to seeing her at the fab Warwick folk festival in July:)

What do you think...is she any good then?
