Welcome Home

Welcome to the website for singer - songwriter Stella Homewood. Here you can listen to songs, see photos, find out about upcoming gigs, order CDs and join Stella's mailing list...

It's May time and the spring days are longer, the air feels softer and the birds are once again sitting on their nests for the yearly arrival of their babies. There's a blackbird outside in the bush still sitting on her three perfect little blue eggs, surely it's going to be any day now. The trees seem to have just burst into leaf this past week, it must have been all the rain we had here in the south-east. Isn't nature amazing? A constant thriving, growing abundance of miracles and seasons. I think it's good to take our shoes off from time to time, walk barefoot, and feel the earth beneath us. It only takes a moment to connect, breathe deep, and know we are alive...

Thank you for your continued support over the last year with the release of my debut album 'Ordinary Day' it was such a joy to bring forth and I hear it's being greatly enjoyed out there in the world!

The CD Ordinary Day features 11 original songs and comes in a beautifully presented full colour fold out sleeve made from FSC certified sustainable card. It can purchased directly from myself via the 'Shop' link above and I'm always happy to sign and personalize a copy for you or a loved one. Just email me your details with your full name and the name and message intended for the CD and I will post you a copy. You can also buy it from Amazon and CD Baby or you can click the iTunes logo on this page for individual MP3 tracks as well as downloading the whole album. If you would like to be informed of any upcoming gigs, or just want to keep in touch with all the latest news then please join my mailing list - see above. Likewise feel free to email me directly via the 'Contact' link for any other enquiries.

Latest news... I'm currently working on my second album at present and it feels like a whole new world yet to be born. I'm really looking forward to sharing the new songs with you in 2012. There's now also a Stella Homewood Facebook page which you can join and follow for updates, see the Facebook link.

Wishing you happy days,

Some lovely reviews...

"I have just listened to this CD after a friend recommended it, and I was captivated and enthralled by it. The songs are just beautiful and Stella's voice is haunting and breathtaking. I could listen to her all day. If this is her first album, I just can't wait for the next one" Amazon review

"The songs themselves draw on images of nature harking back to early English folk, but with a sense of a deeper truth underneath" Rob Read - Viva Lewes.

"Stella Homewood is a talented singer-songwriter in the British acoustic folk tradition with a little hint of Country.

Her voice has a deliciously warm, fragile texture that never ceases to surprise and delight.

Even on a first hearing, this beautiful album instantly hooks the listener straight from the opening song - Hello. This song has one of those wonderful choruses that sticks with you long after the music is finished and makes you want to hear it again as quickly as possible.

However, every song on this superb album is a treat, including the deceptively simple title track 'Ordinary Day' which has the potential to become one of those big iconic hits. Can't recommend 'Ordinary Day' enough. Hopefully it's the first of many great albums to come from Stella Homewood" R. Phillips - Amazon Review
