Corrie Shelley
Wigan
Corrie Shelley is a singer-songwriter from Lancashire, UK
Corrie is making up for lost time having only recently rediscovered the joy of songwriting after a 30 year break, and in the space of two years has released 2 albums and is currently recording her 3rd.
As a folk singer/songwriter, her songs take us on a journey of random thoughts, fuelled by copious cups of sweet tea, which transport us to 17th century scenes of Lords and Peasant girls, 18th century pirate ships ‘The Whydah´ which sank 300 yrs ago, into the 19th century covering wars, mining tragedies and affairs of the heart.
"Each Song appears like a movie in my head of a story that I must tell, whether it be sad, factual or happy"
Her alluring vocals and storytelling paint vivid pictures in your mind… “As good a piece of folk rock as you’ll find anywhere, reminiscent of Prelude and Pentangle.” Liz Franklin - EdenFM & Blues and Roots Radio
" The leaf and the cane is one of the stand out albums of 2017, Corrie´s unique style gives a superbly traditional feel to the songs she writes." - Brian Player - Acoustic Cafe - Why Valley Radio & Blues and Roots Radio
