The shape I’m In: Eddi Reader, singer-song writer

THOUGH just over a debilitating chest infection, singer-song writer Eddi Reader is full of the joys of life and music.

“Every singing is and should be emotional,” says the Glaswegian and former member of Fairground Attraction.

“For me it has always been a vocation rather than a job. I’m chasing some beauty. It makes me feel open and refreshed and focused and very intimate with my own experience as a human being.”
