Wendy is a Scottish “refugee” living in God’s Own Country - in other words North Yorkshire!
She says:
“Don’t be fooled by my address as, although I live in The White House, I am glad to say that I don’t share it with George W Bush! The only connection with things American in this household is my husband’s obsession with playing the banjo! (Paul says “obsession” is taking it a little too far, but I’m sure the neighbours would support my point of view!)”
“ My own songs are influenced by the history & people of my “homes” (North Yorkshire & The West of Scotland), world events and family life”
“Finding time to write songs and play them is a constant challenge with two young children (Kirsty and Peter), a mad labrador, several cats and lots of fish!”
Music has always been part of her life - She first remembers singing in public at a Sunday School Christmas Party aged about 3½. Since then she dabbled in various kinds of music ranging from operetta to Bluegrass, via choral and prog rock.
“The folk tradition is where my heart lies.”
