With a sound best described as pure pop, Cheape has been working producer Lewis Gardiner and Scottish rockers Sam McTrusty and Ross McNae of Twin Atlantic fame, and a new EP is due out in February.Before then she returns to the stage with an intimate gig at Glasgow’s G2 and will finish the year with a show at Stirling Castle for the town’s Hogmanay celebrations.
