Charity fundraising gig for Sue Ryder - palliative Care charity featuring Irene Rae and her dashing band - special guest Ross Alexander.

Irene Rae mixes emotional song writing and a powerful yet delicate vocal with entertaining and funny stories about life, love and places her travels have taken her. 

 ‘’Connecting with the audience through her music and creating a living room feel to her performance is where Irene Rae’s personality shines…a real pleasure to have witnessed.’’  EST Mag 

 Rae’s earliest musical memories stem from being a child, sitting in the backseat of her parents Cortina and listening to endless mix tapes of a variety of amazing music from Motown to The Beatles, Karen Carpenter to Bon Jovi, Barbra Streisand to Adam and the Ants… music, and more importantly singing was a family experience, one of love and support. Song-writing and playing guitar came a lot later into her life than most of her peers – she began to teach herself guitar at the age of 22 years old, listening to CDs and recreating the sound she heard. 

 Irene Rae has reached a wide and loyal fanbase throughout the UK which has seen her support artists that include Midge Ure, Hazel O'Connor, John Power, The Levellers (acoustic), The Jigantics and Declan Bennett.  Her style and lyrics have been compared to Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, Eddi Reader, Lisa Loeb and Bic Runga – whilst remaining uniquely her own. 

 In 2009 Rae released her first album ‘’End of Nothing, Beginning of Something’’, having produced three EPs previously. ''Hidden Secret''  EP, (Produced by Stuart Dixon, Platform Studio) released in 2015, is the latest studio offering from Irene Rae and  draws on personal experiences and showcases a new reflective maturity in voice and lyrics.
