A well-known and popular musician, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis six years ago, is fighting back to release her original album, New Shoes for Nashville.

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions.

Ms Moyses said: “Bluegrass and Country and Western has been my life and in my blood based in their home at West Walton”.

Ms Moyses grew up with a varied lifestyle and achieved advanced Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, Lead Singer, Guitarist, Public Address Engineer, Stringed instrument connoisseur, songwriter and a mum of her son, Lewis.

“Things were going well”, she said, “Just when I was finally getting notoriety with an original album, ‘New Shoes For Nashville’ written and performed by me in 2016, Multiple Sclerosis was quick at slowing me down to a total stop”.

Ms Moyses, now in her early fifties, is determined to get back on her feet as well as launch her album and hope a Theatre Director could allow a 10 minute slot for her to come on stage as a ‘start’, and a beginning for an exclusive official launch of the album.

“Help me from zero to hero with a turnaround”, Hayley concluded.
