Singer-songwriter, Pauline Blackburn from Wigan, accompanies her songs on acoustic guitar.

Pauline, having started song-writing again, last time being in her school days, has been making a name for herself around the Northwest within the last 4-5 years.

Many music fans will have seen Pauline supporting the Folk-Rock band Merry Hell. And you will have seen her perform at last year's 2nd Wigan Diggers Festival. On stage in the Wigan Outdoor Market at the beginning of June this year. Other places being, Darwen Live Festival, Coppull Festival fundraiser concerts, Bolton, Dogstock Festival, Music and Cider Festival, to name a few.

For the last year Pauline has been working on her first album, with Merry Hell's, John Kettle, putting band arrangements to her songs, which has been new and very exciting. There is no date for the album release just yet, but you can keep up-to-date on her progress, and up and coming gigs, through her facebook musician's page, and can have a listen to some of the songs finished so far from the album.
