The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Sunday 20th August 2017

Meg Jordan is an 18 year old singer-songwriter who has been performing live for the last 3 or 4 years. Her performance experience ranges from gigs in cafés and pubs to weddings and private functions. Meg has been writing her own music since she began teaching herself the guitar and now has an album worth of her own songs which she is hoping to record in the coming year. Others have described her song-writing as humerous and relatable with a unique edge which makes her music recognisable. As well as playing the guitar she often accompanies herself on the piano and as well as this is a talented violinist, which she incorporates in her recorded work more than her live performaces (for now). Currently studying at Loughborough University, Meg is now performing outside of the southeast, hoping to develop her skills as a performer to a wider audience.

Songwriter, singer and guitarist. Recording music under record label 'Lucky Boy Records'.

Single 'Nice' produced by Tom Gulliver, was released in February.

Debut EP 'How to Lose You - EP' is out now, featuring that single and three other tracks. Here is what Rachael had to say about this EP:

"This summer for me has been probably the worst I can remember for mental health and unhappiness with who I am and where I’m at in life. But one thing that has stayed constant is my love for writing and making music. So being able to spend a whole day in the studio creating music was a serious dream come true. Every song on this EP explains some of the feelings I held in my heart at some point these last couple of months. There’s a lot more music that’s come out of this but I’m not quite ready for everyone to hear those quite yet. So for now here’s a little piece of me that I hope resonates with you."
