Gemma Hasson

Bio:

Female vocalist whose elpees mix folk and contemporary material, mostly cover versions. "Looking For The Morning" is the LP most rated by folk collectors. The third album "I've Never Been To Me" suffers many of the problems associated with the era. All three albums have become very hard to find.
