Alisha's Attic
Musical artist

Alisha's Attic were an English musical group of the 1990s and early 2000s. Their two members were Shelly McErlaine (nee Poole) and Karen Poole, sisters born in Essex, England. Their father is Brian Poole of Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, a 1960s musical group.

History

Alisha's Attic were discovered by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics) after they sent him a demo tape recorded at home. Impressed, Mercury Records Managing Director Howard Berman signed the girls. They had been trying to get a record contract for nine years.

If one discounts the sister's teenage material recorded as "Keren & Chelle", Karen and Shellie's recording career began with the single "I Am, I Feel", a hit in the UK, and this was quickly followed by their debut album Alisha Rules the World in November 1996.

They went on to release two more albums. Their record label then chose not to take up the option for a fourth album, and the girls went their separate ways: Shellie focusing on a solo career, and as she did so, changing her name to Shelly; and Karen writing tracks for well-known artists including Will Young, Sugababes, Amy Studt, and Kylie Minogue.

A solo album entitled Hard time for The Dreamer was released by Shelly early in 2005; she has also written material for Janet Jackson and appears on Michael Gray's "Borderline".
