Amanda is a 34 year old lassie from Fife, who has been singing and playing parts in local musicals at Dunfermline's Carnegie hall since she was just a wee girl.

This got her accepted for the Scottish Youth Theatre, but unfortunately, due to lack of finances and sponsorship, she was unable to attend.

                                                 Her whole family always played the guitar, so she was
                                                 initially rebelled and learned to play a lot of different                                                        instruments.

                                                 It took until she was 14 that she allowed her dad to                                                          teach her a song on the guitar.

                                                 Once she got the taste of playing the guitar, she could                                                      no longer stop.

                                                 At the age of 15 she met her True love, who is now                                                            become her husband, and she started  her own family                                                      aged 19.

However this rocked her confidence caused by the sudden attention she got when performing.

 

But when the Scottish independence referendum

was in full swing and she had pounded the streets

of Dunfermline with the yes team, she finally

realised that if Scotland could find the courage to

stand alone without fear, so could she.  

Full of her new found confidence and determination

she pressed "post", placing her rendition of Caledonia

on Facebook, which went down very well.

 

                                                                        The clip led to her performing in front of a                                                                           massive crowd outside of Holyrood.

                                                                        The year after, on the day of the General                                                                              election, she performed a female version                                                                              of Gerry's HOF song  which led to no less

                                                                         than 70.000 views.  

                                                                        Amanda has now played quite a few gigs                                                                             for the tartan army, yes events and on SNP

                                                                       meetings.

She is a loyal and always positive person,

which is why she is so good in her

daytime job as a care worker, while

juggling this with her music.
