Having previously been a part of pop punk band Shelley’s Children, Tracey’s solo career was launched almost by accident when she was encouraged by her children to write a protest song against a planned by-pass that would ruin their local riverside dens and rope swings.

She went in to the studio to record ‘Nowhere Left to Play’, planning to send it out to local radio and TV stations. With that song recorded in three minutes and a whole hour’s studio time booked, she just carried on playing, and recorded all the other songs she had written at the time. This became ‘The By-pass Demo’.

Robb Johnson heard the demo and within a few months ‘If the Moon Could Talk’ was recorded for UNLABELLED, a co-operative off-shoot of Robb’s IRREGULAR RECORDS.

The last two years have seen Tracey taking her music to folk festivals, punk festivals, veggie cafes, folk clubs, theatres, pubs, clubs and Oxfam shops. 

Spring 2006 will see Tracey joining Chumbawamba, Attila the Stockbroker and American political singer/songwriter David Rovics on tours of the UK.
