Brooke Sharkey spent her formative years in France before returning to England where her father encouraged her to take her songs to the streets and go busking.
Having never looked back, Brooke has toured Europe and Central America, played gigs in Moscow and New York, toured Germany and France gathering a loyal fanbase that helped her fund this debut album in online pre-sales. Brooke can still be found on a Sunday busking at Columbia Road Flower Market in East London and playing her Monday night residency at The Jamboree Venue in Limehouse.
Our good friends over at Folk Radio have called her ‘poetic and enthrawling’. Her songs are at once heartbreaking, poetic and drawing on the deeply personal. This tour around England in May will showcase the tunes from her latest release ‘One Dress’ in perfectly intimate surrounds… Not to be missed.
