TWINNIELEE MOORE
'TWINNIE'
'TWINNIE'
Soap star to pop star has always been
one of the more 'interesting' routes to musical stardom. For some it has been a huge success (think
KYLIE,
NATALIE
IMBRUGLIA, DELTA GOODREM) for others....well, we won’t go
there. Often how well they have fared has much to do with what
they did before they appeared on your telly several nights a week.
This is certainly true of TWINNIELEE MOORE.
Until now probably best known for playing Porsche McQueen in Channel 4’s long running
drama ‘Hollyoaks’, her background
has always been working in and around music.
With a history of big musical theatre
productions under her belt, including appearances in productions of CHICAGO, WE WILL ROCK
YOU, A CHORUS LINE, FOOTLOOSE to name but four, TWINNIELEE MOORE now heads out into
the wide music world with her own sound.
Some may be surprised then to hear
that it isn’t show tunes that she is focusing on but in fact it's her love of the modern
country sound of Nashville that inspires her own music. In fact at one time she
worked with BEN EARLE in an early incarnation of probably the
UK’s biggest current country act THE SHIRES before heading off on her own path.
TWINNIELEE has just released her debut EP
entitled appropriately enough ‘Twinnie’
(which instantly reached number 2 in the iTunes county
charts upon it's launch).
The four songs included offer an array of sounds and styles all with strong pop sensibilities but also with those country overtones. From the power pop of the pounding first single ‘Home’ to touching ballad ‘Lie To Me’

She recently performed an exclusive
set at The Islington in North London, where she showcased these and other new
songs to an anticipating audience of fans.
Backed by a four piece band, each track took on a new life of it’s own in a live environment. TWINNIE kicked of with a foot stomping rendition of 'Home' which highlighted her guitar playing skills.

The addition of some new & unreleased
tracks also thrilled the crowd These included ‘Better Me’ which sounds like an instant hit, co-penned by prolific
songwriter PETE HAMMERTON who unsuspectedly joined her on
stage to perform.
TWINNIE also surprised with a fabulous country tinged cover of the BRUCE
SPRINGSTEEN classic ‘Dancing
In The Dark’ ...
...before rounding off the set with another of the EP’s big songs ‘Cool’ (with it’s co-composer JON GREEN also accompanying on guitar and backing vocals).
