Patricia is an outsanding talent and we met at a local Open Mic venue around 18 months ago. We found that although from completely different backgrounds we had similar taste in music. Since then we have built up an interesting and varied repertoire of classic songs dating back from the 60’s, Dylan, James Taylor, Carol King to contemporary artists such as Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, One Republic... At the moment we have around 50 songs and can play for three hours adding a new song weekly. In the last six months we have played at a number of venues including The Acoustic Cafe and Northstar in Falkirk, various times at Nicky Tams in Stirling, The Exchange in Greenock and Noona’s Kitchen in Glasgow. We also have 3 dates booked at Gleneagles Golf Club during this summer. We have our own excellent P.A. system and transport and look forward to traveling as required to further in hands our musical ambitions.
