At seventeen Angie left England for Europe, deciding to travel before taking up a place at art college, but ended up living in Paris and making a living playing music: 

.I had a battered old Spanish guitar and I knew a couple of chords that an old boyfriend had shown me....I still remember the first few francs I made from playing music, I played three songs in the Paris metro and that was it...I was a minstrel following in the long tradition of the wandering musician. At least that.s how I saw myself back then..
She spent the next seven years travelling around Europe busking, playing bars and clubs, and small festivals.

Her time in Europe was also spent writing songs, some of which appear on her first cd: A Certain Kind of Distance which she recorded on her return to England and took around the country.s blues and folk circuit. These were songs that Angie had been playing live for a long time and represented a solitary, travelling way of life. Whereas Angie's first cd was a totally solo effort her next, romantica obscura, has drums and bass as well as cello, violin and congas.

After supporting the likes of Tom MaCrae and Neil Cassall Angie has finished working on her third cd: Road with Alan Gregson at West Orange who recently recorded the new Cornershop cd .Handcream for a Generation.. This cd is a return to her stripped down acoustic roots with Angie working with another guitarist Mark Townson and Richard Curran on violin and mandolin. These songs again have strong narratives, but here they grounded in an Americana country-blues musical setting that finds Angie drawing on her love of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and later songwriters like Buddy and Julie Miller and Gillian Welch.
