Rosie Doonan is one of the enigmas of the Wakefield music scene. She is an undoubted talent. She has a beautiful voice; can play guitar, piano and ukulele; writes good songs; and has a real presence on stage.
Her musical career hasn't always run smooth though. She has chopped and changed musical directions a few times; gone through a few band members (including a bunch who were apparently sacked live on stage down at the Royal Park one night) and released two patchy albums. Recently though things have been on the up. First she got a gig singing backing vocals for Peter Gabriel and now she's playing in Birdy's backing band. Ok she's only a side musician at the moment but plenty of people have started off that way - Sheryl Crow, St Vincent, Feist and Lucy Rose to name but four.
