We interviewed Cheryl Hann-Woodlock about her new album SING FOR YOUR SOUL and her song I Know You’re There, the latter having royalties going to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, She encourages people to be organ donors and talks about why.  It is a story worth listening to.  Check her Facebook page for details on how to download I Know You’re There.  Alternatively go to Blue Shamrock Music.

 Cheryl spoke about being told to get a proper job but eventually her parents saw she was driven and gave her their support.  How she did not begin to write her own music until she was 60. She has released two albums and you can wonder where has she been hiding for so long?  She has lived a life and her songs have a maturity and lyrical strength that shows this.
