This album was recommended to me by a customer having it heard on Bob Harris' Radio 2 programme. This is a luxurious album that just makes you feel in a better place. I strongly encourage you to check out - highly recommended.

Callaghan’s debut album, Life In Full Colour, released on May 1st 2012. The release is the culmination of a journey which brought the singer-songwriter across the Atlantic from London to live and record in the USA.

A long-time Shawn Mullins fan, Callaghan contacted the Atlanta singer-songwriter through MySpace, and after being knocked out by her music he agreed to a rare collaboration.  Callaghan left her London digs and boarded a plane headed for the American South:  the experience was the inspiration for the opening track and first single from her album, Best Year.

Life in Full Colour was tracked in and around Atlanta with Mullins both producing and playing on the record. Its 12 songs present Callaghan’s eclectic and dynamic style, combining shades of folk, country, rock and pop into a seamless fusion of feeling and melody. 

Performing live Callaghan plays piano and guitar and delivers a vocal which earns frequent comparisons with artists like Sarah McLachlan and Emmy Lou Harris.  Her songs chronicle stories and moments from her own life and from others. You’ll enjoy thoughtful lyrics, haunting vocals, and catchy melodies which make you smile.

Since making Georgia her home, Callaghan has been selling out shows at local venues, and been on the road performing in over 25 states.

2012 began with Best Year enjoying widespread radio play in the USA,  a packed tour schedule including showcases at this year’s SXSW and great reviews for ‘Life in Full Colour’. The Huffington Post described the album as “joyful listening”, while InLiveMusic says “Callaghan’s voice is stunning, clear and is perfect for the story telling of her songs”

Back home in the UK Bob Harris has championed Callaghan’s music on his show saying:

“Callaghan is a wonderful artist. She is beautiful, warm and hugely talented. The reaction to her music on my radio programmes has been fantastic.”

The CD version of this album is not available elsewhere in the UK.
