She's got a great voice, Hard Time For The Dreamer is one of last year's best albums, she's a fab songwriter (She wrote Rachel's Je M'Appelle- an absolute choon about the sort of lady, as my grandmother would say, you'd find at Kings Cross) and she's got charm and humour to spare!
Why is she not massive?
OK, rant over...

Does she want to be massive? I thought she was happy writing songs for other people and doing her own thing. She played a free gig at the Heavenly Social on Thursday.

Can't find LOST IN YOU anywhere in the Top 75... Does anyone know where it ended up in the Charts yesterday?

Oh my friend bought this - he assures me I'll laugh at how fat she's got, is this true? He loves her, I prefer Karen, so it's not all derogatory.

Anyone?

She's not fat!? Go on shellypoole.com she's actually rather on the skinny side but not in a bad way. Not that it matters.

143! Considering there was pretty much no promo and no video, that's not THAT bad! Considering how few copies you need to sell to make the Top 75 these days, it sounds like even her extended family didn't buy it. I like the girl, but that really is a resounding failure.

Wasn't Hard time for a dreamer released on a very very small label and only a very small number of cd's were made? Shelly has loads of dosh in the bank. She doesn't need it to be a success, it was just for her. Although she did find a star in Jack Savoretti, wonder when his record comes out.
I read that she made some deal with Starbucks in the U.S too so she probably got loads of money through that.

Me and my partner are always discussing her financial success. She must be quite loaded, with the things she's written - though her sister Karen is probably richer! *cough*
Yeah - the album came out on a label called teansistor. They broke even with the CD, so they didn't lose anything. It's quite a good little album. Took a while to grow on me, but I love it now!

I apologise, you sound incredible. I was referring to Shelly not being an A-list celebrity. Therefore, I couldn't care less that you know her and anybody else you might be like 'that' with, or else have seen blowing their nose on the tube.

I'm so astounded by your witty comebacks, I admit defeat. Now go back to your sad little life bitching about anyone who is more talented than you. i.e - everyone
