For the last 15 years Judy Cockwell has struggled with major multiple food allergies and chemical intolerances which have left her weak, disabled and confined to a wheel chair. Six years ago, God spoke to her about sharing his love through music and she began writing songs. This remarkable lady now delivers her third album of original songs. Out of her own struggles come songs of faith and hope and following last year's worship album her new one, 'Beyond', is a collection of songs designed to speak to believers and non-believers alike. A multi-instrumentalist, soft voiced Judy creates soothing music with strong melodies and a Celtic flavour. The production is simple yet clear, the songs uplifting and relaxing and even though she is housebound her music has already touched people across the world. If you're a fan of Celtic music, investigate a fresh artist who has plenty to say and the musical chops to do it.
