Only just learnt it this afternoon and thought I’d just stick it up as a free download if you wish, and hopefully, maybe introduce some people into the amazing world of David Gray (But who would that be, you should all know his awesomeness). Apologies for the minor mistakes, I was excited :3

Enjoy and well done for reading that big chunk of text, hope you enjoy more of my stuff

As I type this, Zoë and her Mum are packing the ukes and getting ready for what’s bound to be a very memorable weekend up in Glasgow. If you’re lucky enough to be in Glasgow today (Friday) or tomorrow, look out for Team Bestel and make sure you come and say “Hi!”

If you’ve found your way here because of Celtic Connections and are wanting to find out more about Zoë, be sure to check out her videos page.

Have a great weekend.

What a fantastic year it’s been for Zoë, so many highlights, so much achieved and so many wonderful people she’s met along the way.

Still recovering from another bout of tonsillitis, she put together this gentle version of Slade’s classic, Merry Christmas Everybody, collected a bunch of photos that represent just some of what’s happened and folk we’ve met and made this little video.

And you can now download a high quality mp3 of this song! Simply complete this form.

We’ve not managed to include everybody and every event, so please accept our apologies if we’ve missed you out. I promise we have not forgotten you. It’s been such a memorable year.

If next year has just a fraction of the excitement of this, it’ll be wonderful.

Zoë wrote this song specifically for this competition last year but didn’t get it completed in time, so hearing it has been short listed for this year is wonderful news.

A panel of judges have whittled down the entries and now the final six get put to a public vote, and this is where you come in!!!

We’d really appreciate your help. Please follow this link to vote:

VOTE HERE

and give Zoë’s song as high a mark out of ten you can.

You can find out more about the competition and listen to the other entries here

Thank you so much. The competition closes with a concert on 29th November and we’ll be sure to let you know how Zoë gets on.

It’s the October half term, so for the next two weeks I’m off school (although I’m revising and have a heap of homework), I’m going to try and get in the spare-room studio and do some recordings, some more covers and stuff…

Anyhoo, on Saturday I finally finished the words to a song that’s riff has been flying round my head for ages (probably driving mum and dad insane LOL), and thought I’d politely drag dad from the hard work that he was doing and help me set up the studio (thank you so much Dad)

Aaand here it is, I hope you enjoy it and please do tell me what you think:

(Just incase you wondered why I made the odd owl noise at the beginning, it’s not because I’m making a different animal noise at the start of each of my new songs, I was saying ‘Take Two’ LOL)

So yeah, thanks for watching and more exciting stuff is on it’s way

Performing for The CatStrand Theatre’s 5th Birthday Celebrations, here’s Zoë singing her latest song, Listen. The headline act for this night was The Peatbog Faeries, who were brilliant and Zoë shared support with our friend, Calum Gilligan.

Another one written for her baritone uke, Luna, Zoë says that this her favourite song to perform… at the moment

As usual, we’d love to hear what you think.

I know I’m posting this just hours before the actual gig but I just wanted to share with you what Zoë’s up to.

This is going to be a fantastic gig and a great opportunity for Zoë. Have you ever seen the Peatbog Faeries? I haven’t but I’ve heard loads about them and it promises to be a hoot. The Peatbogs have twice been voted “Best Live Act” at the Scottish Traditional Folk Awards

Zoë’s good friend, Calum Gilligan is also supporting so we’re also looking forward to catching up with him too.
