The Glasgow born singer-songwriter has enjoyed success across the decades after making her breakthrough fronting Fairground Attraction whose number one single, Perfect, and its parent album, First of a Million Kisses, both topped the charts in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. As a solo performer she has become one of the great interpreters of the music of Robert Burns, winning critical acclaim for her 2003 album.
It is one of ten solo albums released across the years in which she has also appeared as special guest with Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for an extensive UK tour.
Eddi has also explored the acting profession, through her acclaimed performances as Jolene Jowett in John Byrnes’ Your Cheatin Heart. She also appeared as a 1937 jazz singer in Richard Linklaters movie Orson And Me, which starred Zac Ephron, and in Janice Galloway’s The Trick Is To Keep Breathing.
