Some long overdue words about Vicky Nolan

Ages ago - literally ages ago - we made brief mention of the lovely Vicky Nolan and her even lovelier song ‘Look Out Your Window’.

Since then Vicky has recorded new songs and had new pictures taken of herself, all of which can be heard and seen at her MySpace (some of the pictures of Vicky in a field have been removed but we haven’t asked her why yet so we will have to assume there that was some kind of rural legal ‘altercation’).

What do we know about Vicky Nolan?

:: She’s got basically the best possible surname.
:: Her music is quite laid back but not actually boring.
:: She is a singer and a songwriter and she sings the songs she writes.
:: She’s ‘not exactly ugly’.
:: In other words, she’s quite fit.
:: She is the sort of artist you put on when you are tired of being a drunken idiot and think to yourself “Yes, Song 4 Mutya is good, but that was last night and right now I would rather be alone with my hangover, some Coco Pops and some nice music. I am covered in bruises and I don’t actually remember getting home, I especially don’t remember that weirdo on my settee; I’m going to have to kick him out quite soon and before that I’d just like ten minutes where I can sit back, forget this headache and listen to something that’s not likely to make my head spin clean off my shoulders.”


Other than that all you need to know is that she’s very good and well worth investigating, especially if silky, soothing, Sunday-morning singing is your cup of strong espresso.

We will let you know about the photos of Vicky in a field and why they were taken down as soon as we get around to emailing her.
