Bio

Maddie Jones is a singer, guitarist and songwriter hailing from the rather exotic South Wales valleys. She started writing songs at the age of 16, and has performed frequently as an acoustic solo artist since. She now collaborates in duos and groups as well as continuing her solo act, and since being a music student in Nottingham has made the city a second base for her musical activity.

About

Review by Peter Bright (of This Window, and SystemCulture.org)

There are hundreds of singer songwriters, who strum a guitar, sing out of tune and sound crap. From the first discordant chord to the last flat note, you want to dive under the table and cringe. There are those people who subscribe to the X Factor viewpoint and find the humiliation of untalented people as good sport, personally I find it a cheap trick. Artists (and wannabees) who place their music on line also run the risk of being laughed at and ridiculed. The talentless remain untalented and the creative and gifted, hopefully succeed.

Maddie Jones need not worry, her songs are lyrically strong and her voice has enough colour and warmth to fill in the whole picture. Empty/Full (Demo)' and 'Dirty Little Secret' - listen to the words... isn't love a tough cookie.

All the tracks are recorded in a rough and ready style, which makes them honest and truthful - excellent.
