About Shirley

- What kind of experience do you have?

I began my singing career at the tender age of fifteen. I have appeared on Radio,Television and made Records. My career has encompassed the musical spectrum, Folk, Rock and Popular music Jazz. In 1970 I was a member of the UK band THE GHOST . A Progressive Rock Band. With Ghost and as a solo artist, I appeared on the John Peel BBC programme SOUND OF THE SEVENTIES. You can find information about those sessions in the Ken Garner book IN SESSION TONIGHT . You can also find information about The Ghost and myself in the 2012 and 2014 RECORD COLLECTOR Rare Record Price Guide. For a short while I reivented myself as Virginia Tree and have a collectable album out there. Sadly I no longer hold rights on this master. Presently being bootlegged. Jazz however pulled me back to solo work and through this time I would play second on the bill to Stephane Grappelli, Oscar Peterson, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Blossom Dearie, Georeg Melley, Dakota Stanton, Roland Kirk, John Dankworth with Cleo Laine, Mark Murphy, Jon Hendricks, Doris Troy, Humphrey Littleton band, Buddy Rich Band, and too many more to list here.

No
