Cool Reception

Wendy – Lead Vocalist & Percussionist

wendy_bio11Wendy has been singing since primary school and is also an accomplished dancer.

Following a successful spell on the Karaoke circuit in the early 90s (which helped fund a few nights out in her University days!) she found her way onto the live circuit in her home town of Penicuik.

Having joined a band performing covers and original material she then spent a few years gigging in and around Edinburgh singing both lead and backing vocals, including a few recording studio demos. During this time she developed into a mean tambourine player and now can shake it with the best of them!

wendy_bio21Wendy has been performing with Cool Reception since 2001

Musical influences include Eddi Reader, Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, right up to Alicia Keys, Corrine Bailey Rae and bands like The Feeling and Take That (now not then!!)

Interests include cooking, gardening, walking the dog and socialising!!! (all of the above with wine!)
