StarStarStarHalf Star

"Songs That Made Me is a case study of artistic inspiration."

Born from a want to share the stage with her female musicians to celebrate songs that shaped them, Katie Noonan has curated a range of contributors – including some from the concert series of the same name – for a beautiful album release.

Alongside Kylie Auldist (The Bamboos), Deborah Conway and more, Noonan shares a tender album highlight across The Pretenders’ Hymn To Her, while Sam Buckingham tackles Another Day In Paradise. Featuring the likes of Stonefield, Mia Dyson and Renee Geyer covering Prince to The Chordettes, Songs That Made Me is a case study of artistic inspiration.
