Rebsie
(Rebsie Fairholm)

Bio:

I'm a singer and musician (12-string guitar, celtic harp ... I like things with a lot of strings) with a background in British traditional music and a love of the psychedelic and unusual. I do a mixture of original and traditional songs using acoustic and electric instruments and anything else I've got handy.



My debut album Mind The Gap was released in August 2007 and is available from CD Baby or my website.

"a shimmering masterpiece" - Terrascope

"Rebsie has the most beguiling of voices - she really is something special.
Just beautiful, uncluttered, refreshing" - ORGAN magazine




I discovered GarageBand by accident, literally: a ceiling collapsed in our house and trashed my much loved G3, and when the insurance firm sent me a new Mac, there it was. I'd never had a chance to record before, other than using two tape recorders and sticking my head in a bucket to give it some reverb (no it didn't work, it just sounded like I was singing with my head in a bucket).

I have a website at www.rebsiefairholm.co.uk and if you're inclined towards such things I have a highly acclaimed blog about vegetables.
