The musical prodigy won the Pure M Award for 2015 All-Ireland Best
Female artist in a ceremony streamed live to the world on 26
September 2015. Beating nine acts to the prize, the Belfast East
Side Arts ambassador flew the flag for Northern Ireland at the Pure
M Awards, just as she did when she accepted the prestigious Barry
Middleton Award for Emerging Artist at the British Blues Awards on
15 September. Kaz was also nominated for Northern Ireland?s
prestigious NI Music Prize in 2014 and again in 2015.
Kaz?s stellar rise to success will be no surprise to the Northern
Ireland?s music fiends and blues fans over the world she has been
wooing for years with her deep, powerful voice, original song
writing and soulful tracks, the latest featured in her Get Ready
album which won the Blues Matters?Writers Poll Best Studio Album
of 2015. No mean feat for the 43 year old funky grandma who owes
surviving a life of physical and emotional hardship to music and a
larger-than-life personality that doesn?t take setbacks lying down!
