About Shirlie: Biographical Notes
Shirlie’s stage career began way back in Wales, when her father bought her her first acoustic guitar. She ran away to London in the school holidays, playing in folk clubs alongside the then unknown Paul Simon and Al Stewart.
At Warwick University, she formed the rock band Children with Flying Picket-to-be Rick Lloyd, turning professional when they graduated.
The mid-seventies saw her touring America and Europe with Ray Davies and The Kinks in their concept musicals ‘Preservation’, ‘A Soap Opera’ and ‘Schoolboys in Disgrace.’ She joined the Gordon Giltrap Band to feature as a unique singer, using her high voice as an instrument in amongst Giltrap’s classical rock music and sang on many studio sessions with artists such as David Gilmore, Mike Oldfield, Ultravox, Ian Gillan, Suzi Quatro and Hot Chocolate.
New horizons beckoned in the eighties when she was continually commissioned by theatre producer Bill Kenwright to write stage musicals, also performing in such shows as Fiddler on the Roof, La Boheme, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Prisoner Cell Block H and The Complete Wives of Henry VIII.
By the nineties her path had changed again as she made the decision to leave the world of theatre and rock music, and dedicate her writing and singing to help the people and the planet in whatever way she could.
Now in her fifties, Shirlie continues to travel, write, uplift, sing and sound her healing tones wherever she is invited in the world.

Shirlie Roden - Sound Healing
Everyone can make sound. Everyone has their own voice. Everyone can raise their vibration.
Shirlie Roden has developed a whole series of Sound Workshops based on her own individual approach and her belief that we are all healers: we all carry this ancient knowledge of how to use sacred sound within us, and Shirlie's workshops are designed to help anyone and everyone ‘remember’ the power of using voice tones, regardless of your musical skills and knowledge.
Participants range from people who have not sung for years, or been silenced in school or at home, side by side with musicians, performers and teachers, all eventually creating a wonderful homogenous sound for emotional release, relaxation, meditation, group and self-healing, creative and inspired writing and earth cleansing and healing.
Workshops can be designed to suit the organiser’s needs, from a half-day upwards to a week’s residential. Two-hour sound meditation evenings or relaxations can also be offered.
Shirlie currently leads workshops organised for her in the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Hungary and Poland.
