Hayley's depth of musical talent at times seems immeasurable. With a voice that can melt the hardest heart to piercing solid granite rock without ever losing control or technique, the Leeds-based singer-songwriter has established a fan-base far beyond her home city.

"And then there was Hayley Gaftarnick, her guitar and her vocal trio showcasing material from her forthcoming debut album. Nothing in her physical demeanour quite prepares you for the richness, resonance and aching vulnerability of her voice, imbued as it is in a deep southern blues and soul not immediately associated with the north of England. It smoulders and burns as it speaks of a road well-travelled and the experiences therein.  You feel honoured to have spent some time in its company." - Syd Arthur, god is in the tv.
