Jessie's passion for music was evident from a young age, where she developed a deep connection and love with the piano. As she grew older, she began to hone her skills on the guitar, an instrument she felt gave her new found liberation, after her classical piano studies. Jessie Grace, continued her musical studies at University, where she delved into the world of composition, performance and music production. Her journey as a musician and her dedication to her craft have undoubtedly contributed to the development of her distinctive sound, and we have watched her develop her individual musical identity since her debut album release; “Asleep On The Goodfoot” in 2009. Jessie has demonstrated her talent through several band line-ups and bands, including electronic duo “Superhand”. Each project she has been a part of has showcased her versatile skillset, songwriting ability and musicianship. Jessie has also lent her guest vocals to various other projects, further expanding her artistic horizons. These guest appearances have allowed her to explore different genres and styles, adding a touch of her unique vocal ability and highlight her diverse musical skills. Jessie Grace's music defies easy categorisation, blending elements of alternative, indie, pop, and contemporary classical to create a sound that is uniquely her own. Her introspective and thought-provoking lyrics explore themes of love, vulnerability, personal growth, life on earth, the ever evolving human condition. With each song, she invites listeners into her world, offering an intimate glimpse into her experiences and emotions. Of Livingroom Legend: BBC Radio Wales- Adam Walton Said “So Human, Strident- Wonderfully Realised- For the very 1st time on the program- That was Jessie Grace a song called “Livingroom Legend”- that is the film version- essentially Piano- Vocals and Strings- There is a different version- of that same song which is also excellent- but I loved the atmosphere of that- I don’t know an awful lot about Jessie Grace but as soon as I know more, and have more music- we will play it- as I thought that was outstanding.” Connect with Jessie here: https://linktr.ee/jessiegrace

Part 2 of our conversation with Sinnead who is the Volenteer co-ordinator at The Birthing Partner Project. To find out more please visit: https://www.birthpartnerproject.org About The Birthing Partner Project: Supporting Refugee Women during Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond: Volunteers Needed Our organisation is dedicated to providing vital support and care to refugee women during the later stages of pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. We understand the unique challenges and vulnerabilities that refugee women face during this critical time and are committed to ensuring they receive the support they need. We are currently seeking compassionate and dedicated volunteers to join us in this important mission. Refugee women who are pregnant often face numerous barriers in accessing adequate healthcare and emotional support. Language barriers, limited access to information, cultural differences, and the trauma they have experienced can make navigating the healthcare system and understanding their rights and options overwhelming. Our organisation aims to bridge these gaps by providing a holistic and culturally sensitive approach to care. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of these women and their families. Your role will involve providing emotional support, accompanying women to medical appointments, offering guidance and reassurance during labor and birth, and assisting with postnatal care. Your presence and compassion can make a world of difference to these women, who often find themselves far away from their support networks and familiar environments. We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds who are empathetic, non-judgmental, and committed to supporting vulnerable populations. Previous experience in healthcare, midwifery, or doula services is beneficial but not mandatory. What matters most is your willingness to listen, show empathy, and advocate for the needs and rights of refugee women. Volunteering with our organisation will not only provide you with the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of refugee women but also allow you to develop valuable skills in cross-cultural communication, trauma-informed care, and maternal health. You will work closely with a dedicated team of professionals who will provide training, guidance, and ongoing support throughout your volunteer journey. Join us in supporting refugee women during their pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Together, we can ensure that these courageous women receive the care, support, and empowerment they deserve as they embark on the journey of motherhood. To become a volunteer or learn more about our organisation and the opportunities available, please contact us at [contact information]. Your dedication and support can make a world of difference in the lives of refugee women and their families.
