I saw Shelley Poole in concert last night. She was one of the support acts for Darren Hayes. I'd never heard of her before but boy can she hold a tune! She has a beautiful voice and some of the songs were very good. It reminded me a little of Katie Melua except without the guitar!
I'll probably get the album, she really was very good.

Sorry, pressed send by mistake.
Just have to add, Darren was awesome as usual!

You've met them, that's great!

I have all their albums except The Attic Vaults which I think you can only buy from the Alisha's Attic website, I'm not sure.

Oh yes Shelly and Karen are gerogeous and so nice, not at all starry.

If you go to Shellys site and look about there are video's from most of her gigs. The last one being from last Monday at Pizza on the park.
Of all the Artist I have ever seen there are only a few with what I call a pure live voice. They are Karen Carpenter, Paul Carrack,Pat Kane and Shelly. The clarity of her voice singing live puts the hairs on the back of your neck on end.
PS if you want to get the Vaults album look on ebay (seller Sodhall) Shellys mum she will be able to steer you in the right direction

Thank you very much!

I see Shelly seems to be getting a lot of exposure at the minute - long may it continue!!!

Shelly is the vocalist on the Very popular Boarderline by Michael Gray, Wogan is also playing her track lost in you all the time AND she is the support on the Will Young tour.

Not bad going!

Has Karen written any more good tunes lately - she seems to write alot of successful ones like Shapeshifters, Rachael Stevens, Kylie.......

Has Shelly actually released any singles yet?

Where did her debut album chart at?

Just bumpin the thread up! Has anyone any news on either Karen or Shellie?

I can't remember if I've posted this up already, but anyway the good news is that Shelly is supporting Will Young on his arena tour in september and you can catch her here on these dates and I'm sure she'll gain many new fans.

Shelly's song Borderline with Michael Gray (I think that's his name) is #12 in the charts, boy that seems to be the number that most Alisha's Attic songs stuck at!

Alisha's Attic were probably the MOST annoying band of the 90's.

How come?

I actually really like dthem, they wrote some brilliant songs in their time! I liked their quirkiness too!

Shelly's new song Borderline is brilliant too!

Annoying, in what way?

Anyone else like it? I think it's one of the best songs out at the moment!

I like it a lot - excellent video like Michael Gray's previous effort

I was an Aa fan in my teens (loved them) and saw Shelly last year play at Ginglik (recently shown on The Performance Channel)... she was fab! On the same evening, Nerina Pallot and Polly Paulusma was also on the bill, both awesome

#12... lol, that's exactly what I thought when i saw where "Borderline" charted!

how freaky i come across this thread... i was downloading i am i feel last nite! i cnt remember wot else they did... mite back track to HMV and sample the music!

I Am I Feel seems to be the track everyone remembers and associated the most with Alisha's Attic!

Yes how freaky was it that borderline went in at #12, it seems to be the Alisha's Attic number! lol

Yeah listen to a few more tracks they are brilliant, what a brilliant band!

Just downloaded their greatest hits onto my ipod, they were class band, loved them and their music was great - The Incidentals and I Am I Feel are classics - I also liked The Air We Breathe.

...things that I wonder, number 97:

Are Alisha's Attic and Martika's Kitchen under the same roof?

I've just had a look at the album release schedule and saw this,
no date though, just in the coming soon.

It's such a shame they were over-shadowed by artists like The Spice Girls, because AA's music had more of an edge without taking themselves too seriously. I have their first album

Love, love, love Alisha's Attic. I have all their albums including the Attic Vaults, but I'm afraid to say I've barely listened to them. I need to dig them out again. They had some fantastic singles and I can't believe they never charted in the top 10. One of my favourites is "I Wish I Were You".
