Jenni VartiainenI am Hannah Werdmuller, and I live in Edinburgh, UK, which is bloody great. Here is part 8 of just a few people whose music I really enjoy ... *** indicates someone I think is especially awesome and deserves more listens (although I've almost certainly missed people out ... this isn't an exact science). Recommendations welcome. Check out my journal for parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
