Super thrilled to announce I shall be supporting the incredible @matthewandtheatlas in the Netherlands and Denmark later in the year!
Can’t wait to play for you!
Super excited to announce I shall be opening for the incredible @dtbroughton in London on August 1st!
The show is sold out already but there is a wait list you can sign up to if you don’t have tickets and want to try and join us!
I’m on the @greenmanfest Rising long list! 🤞
From 1000 applicants, I’m down to the last 24! A panel of music critics will choose the top 5 from this list, who will play a show at @clwbiforbach in Cardiff on June 13. Judges on the night will crown the winner, who will open the main stage at the best festival in the world, and the runners up will play the Rising Stage.
I’ve played Green Man many times with other artists but it’s always been my dream to perform my own music there. So THANK YOU Green Man and congratulations to everyone else on the long list for making it to this stage!

Thanks so much to @gideoncoe and @marcrileydj for inviting me to play a @bbc6music session last night! What an honour!
Thanks to my superb band @marcushamblett @andrewstuartbuttle @hannahshilvockmusic @olivernewtondrum .
It’s up on the @bbc6music website for the next 30 days so do tune in if you missed it and fancy hearing me sing and babble about harps and mackerel.
The album is out tomorrow!!!
Thanks so much to everyone who has listened to my new music this year! I can’t wait to share the full album with you on 12th January!
A special thanks to my beautiful family for supporting me and teaching me how to be a musician and a mother!
Wishing you all a safe, warm and peaceful 2024!
My next single “Out of the Dark” is out! This one explores a lot of electronic and dare I say DANCEABLE textures and rhythms. Production, synths and drum programming by @marcushamblett (based on an original improvisation by Jamie Whitby Coles), strings by @andrewstuartbuttle and harp, clarinets and vocals by me.
SEED is out on today! Really happy with how this song came out!
This one is a real toe tapper and features backing vocals from my friends @thisisthekit @roziplain and @rachaeldadd (The Winchester Three!) and some pretty wild ocarina playing by Kate Stables. Critics are calling it “the most culturally significant ocarina solo since Wild Thing by The Troggs”. Incredible strings by incredible @andrewstuartbuttle, drums straight from Dan Harding’s deep deep pocket and lots of instruments, production and mix by @marcushamblett.
What a dream team. Enjoy x
Thanks to @atwoodmagazine for the lovely words about the first single to my album. I’m so happy it resonates with you .
“Softly stirring and sweetly tender, this is the music of discovery: A soundtrack to our endless, wide-eyed wonder. Life is long and full of surprise; we deserve songs that match that breadth and beauty. An expansive, stunningly cinematic indie folk reverie, “Adonis Blue” is a breathtaking serenade ready to open our eyes and our minds.”
