kirsty mcgee’s most recent release, ‘the kansas sessions’ has had excellent reviews in the press and online, and she is fast gathering a loyal and diverse fanbase across europe. labelled by venue magazine as a ‘cult’ singer-songwriter in 2008, her ‘sensuous, deliberate turn of her phrase and her bare-bulb lyrics’ (hmv) are spreading fast on the underground grapevine to which fans of real music pay attention. she was described by bbc radio’s bob harris simply as ‘absolutely wonderful’.

kirsty’s live shows are consistently entertaining and engaging, and have led to her being described as ‘a literate, intelligent songwriter whose songs are miniature works of art; genuine musical entertainments with a long reach.’ (the living tradition).

'the uk's grittiest folk hobo - sheer, banjo-dominated americana from its tom-waits-esque washboard blow-outs to its clarinet soliloquies, and there's plenty of the offbeat in the restless tempos and illicit still-cum-dixieland arrangements throughout' - HMV

‘inspirational musicianship - joyously engaging songs, shining with american influences.’ - rough trade

'a fine album, and possibly her best so far' - rock n' reel ****

‘a national treasure’ - manchester revue

'one of the strongest and most unusual voices of her generaton' - the irish world

‘a stunning musical masterpiece that is up there with the best of eilen jewel, devon sproule and amy lavere’ - maverick

‘less a gentle pastoral stroll than a knees-up in a 1920s speakeasy.’ - metro
