She has shared the stage with artists such as Boy George, Amy Winehouse, Jamie Cullum, and John Cooper Clarke. Drawing on influences from the worlds of jazz, folk, contemporary classical and storytelling, she performs with a variety of instruments and a, “casually commanding voice – whether softly nuanced as confiding speech or at full soaring-contralto stretch,” – The Guardian. Highly sought-after for her song writing and creative workshops with young people, Gwyneth ties this outreach into her touring schedule whenever possible.
