Shelagh Interviewed by Charles Donovan for The Huffington Post

Back in 2005 journalist Charles Donovan wrote a fascinating piece on Shelagh for the Independent newspaper. It was that article that inadvertently ended up bringing Shelagh back to us. The piece raised interest in Shelagh at a time when her music was being re-issued, and the story was picked up by the Scottish press. Now nine years after writing that article, Charles Donovan got to interview Shelagh about her return, and the new music she has been working on. The interview can be read on the Huffington Post.
