In this episode, I speak to Kelley McArdle about her career as a Singer/Songwriter and Musician.

We discuss how Kelley got started singing and writing songs and what she's learnt along the way. We look at how powerful and emotive music is, as well as being like a time-machine to some of our favourite and happiest memories. We also discuss the recent release of Kelley's debut single "Shine A Light" and how she combined the release with fundraising for the Rape Crisis Centres in Dublin and the North East, charities that supported Kelley through a very upsetting and dark time in her life.
