A singer from South Yorkshire who moves between traditional songs and her own writing.
For a sense of her range, try "The Wite Cockade" for the traditional side and "A Rose In April" for her own writing.
Her voice has that unadorned quality that fits old material like "The Wite Cockade," but she also writes her own songs, such as "Bring Me a Boat." After a vocal cord hemorrhage in 2007, she recovered and kept recording, with albums like Hourglass and Hand Me Down. The arrangements stay spare, letting the songs and her voice do the work.
She grew up in Barnsley hearing folk music at home. Her early albums include Hourglass from 1997 and Little Lights from 2001, and she's kept going with more recent work like Hand Me Down from 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
