...of the musical persuasion.
One of Disney's latest heroines is a fiesty redhead, and she is a great role model, in my view. But she doesn't get it easy. Australia's first female Prime Minister was a ranga, and she copped all sorts of merry hell.
I decided to create this post in reference to a story I read where Ed Sheeran was told by an A&R guy in England to dye his hair, because he wouldn't succeed in music as a redhead.
Considering the millions of records he's sold, I guess he has the last laugh...
So here are a few of my favourite rangas (aussie slang for Redhead):
Ashley Naylor from Even:
The gloriously rich vocal stylings of Miss Neko Case, who also shares the limelight in the New Pornographers with another redhead, one Carl Newman...
Paul Brady, a singer/songwriter from Ireland whose solo work is really quite stunning. This track "Crazy Dreams" is from his first LP "Hard Station":
Sherry Rich, Australian Songstress and one half of The Grapes, with the aforementioned Ash Naylor:
So there is an inconclusive list of some awesomely talented redheads. Who are yours?
Enjoy!
