Testament to her mounting status was an entry into The Scotsman's Scots Women Of The Year 2007 and a recommendation by the Daily Record showbiz editors as One To Watch For.

In 2008, Maeve performed in London and Glasgow as part of The JD Set showcase and headlined a sell-out date at Glasgow's prestigious Oran Mor, before accepting an invitation to perform at Live At Loch Lomond.
