Gentle, uplifting folk songs might not be expected of a fashion model but this one delivers them with quiet panache.

Mary Erskine, aka Me for Queen, grew up in Fife and began writing songs at thirteen. She takes inspiration from soul and folk music and her influences range from Carole King to Kate Bush.
