Kirsty McGee

From activist beginnings, singer-songwriter Kirsty McGee has solidly toured around the UK and Europe for 15 years, releasing 7 albums. Collaborators in her Hobopop Collective have included New York jazz legend Marc Ribot (Tom Waits), Nick Blacka & Rob Turner (Gogo Penguin).

With a voice that has been described as having the texture of 'smoke and velvet' her ever-evolving sound has been described as 'filmic, joyful and dirty with hints of gospel and blues'. An innate curiousity, a DIY ethic and with an abiding love of the Great American Songbook, have produced music that's hard to categorise but difficult to ignore.

In 2013 her song Sandman was featured on UK filmmaker Danny Boyle’s movie Trance. 2019 sees the release of her 8th studio album and her first UK tour in a number of years.
