Original songs by Mandy Wragg.

Unlike many musicians, I can't claim to have played guitar since I was a child, or to have written my first song in my teens, and I certainly didn't do a lot of performing when I was growing up. I've always had a love for words, and singing was always therapeutic for me, but it was many years before I was able to sing in front of anyone, and I was 21 before I wrote my first song.

At the end of 2008, after over a decade in and out of jobs that were completely at odds with my values, I concluded that it was no longer an option to continue on that path. I needed to write songs.

So with a cheap guitar, a handful of songs that I'd written over the previous 7 years, and a few basic guitar chords, I started writing, and haven't stopped. It kept me sane, and continues to do so. I write songs about all that I feel and all that I observe - all the beauty and the ugliness of the world that we live in, and all the feelings that many people are too afraid to confront.

I'm always questioning and seeking to understand - and learning that sometimes questions don't need to be answered, and some things can't be understood.

Please note: the recordings here are demos. I'm always working towards improving them.

I'm currently available for gigs, so please send me a message if you have a venue, and you like what you hear.

Thanks for taking the time to listen! Mandy.
