Hayley Hutchinson is touring all over the place with Jackie & is currently a Bob Harris favourite. Her dad is an ex member of David Bowie's band so the credentials are just fine. here's a couple of quotes from her website:-

This is an album which deserves to fly off the shelves. A truly remarkable talent Sound Generator

*

Live, this singer-songwriter is one part Hoxton hipster in her neckerchief and brown vest to two parts folk traditionalist thanks to her lilting voice which exudes a composite of sorrow and desire, like a love starved Joni Mitchell Uncut Magazine

*

Hayley may only be in her early twenties, but shes a million miles away from the disposable pop peddled by so many of her contemporaries. The way things are going, her career looks set to be anything but blue Up Country Magazine

*

Every song on Independently Blue highlights Hayley Hutchinsons sweet and natural way with a sparkling tune Independent On Sunday

*

Hayley Hutchinson on the evidence of this fine single, understands her craft sufficiently to recognise how true a record can ring when completely unencumbered by knowing artifice. Heres the Love is a Carol King ish confection with chord changes where youd expect them and a happy lyric about being happy. A lovely thing The Guardian Track Of The Week
