The woman described by Q magazine as having a “soul, deep purr….” “brilliant… McDonald owns one of the finest voices of modern times, soul and intelligence combined”
She has been writing and performing for over 30 years. From record deals with Capitol, MCA/Universal to her own label – Randan, Horse has nine albums under her belt and many classic songs in the back catalogue, including the iconic song ‘Careful’, (covered by Will Young).
She has toured many times in her own right throughout the UK and Europe, USA and Australia and also opened or toured for other artists such as Tina Turner, Burt Bacharach and BB King.
A truly unique voice and an artist who touches people with her emotive and passionate performances.
“one of the finest voices in UK” Q mag.
I am still loving my writing and touring. I usually tour twice a year one with full band and one solo or with one or two other musicians. I am working towards my 10th album
In the last couple of years I toured in my play Careful written in a collaborative process with Lyn Ferguson and directed by Maggie Kinloch – a one woman performance. It received many 5 star reviews.
I am an ambassador for Nordoff Robbins, Switchboard, Happy Valley Pride.
Not only have I had the great honour of firstly, being painted by artist Roxana Halls, but the portrait has now been acquired for the nation and is hanging in the great hall of the national portrait gallery.
I am currently writing my autobiography.
