Ida Wenøe is revelling in the critical success of her latest album, the beautifully put-together "The Things We Don't Know Yet".
With airplay still flooding in from national and regional BBC stations, particularly for her brand new single 'Change Me A Little' (video link below), she is building her UK audience quite nicely and with good reason, as she blends her Nordic Noir heritage with hints of Americana and English folk. To list artists she sounds like would be to miss the point entirely - as anyone who has witnessed a live show can attest, Ida Wenøe is very definitely Ida Wenøe.

Her voice - weary but cute, with the power to cut through - is perfect The Guardian
Wenøe's signature style pairs ethereal vocals with delicately finger-picked guitar Line of Best Fit
In keeping with her Nordic DNA there's a glacial air to both the music and the imagery Folk Radio

Samantha Whates is London-based and has been there since her teens, but her heart, voice and songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition yet uniquely her own.
A regular live performer, Samantha has played throughout the UK from small town pubs to large festivals and major London venues (Union Chapel, Cecil Sharp House, Tate Modern, Royal Festival Hall, Roundhouse). Her debut album, 'Dark Nights Make For Brighter Days' & EP 'Trees & Gold', enjoyed both critical acclaim and radio play (BBC 6 Music, Radio 2, KCRW, Resonance FM).
The most beautiful album...

'Waiting Rooms', Samantha's second album, has been recorded live and entirely on location in waiting rooms across the UK, featuring arrangements and players unique to each space, a field recording opus woven together with Samantha's deft and inimitable voice. It's due for release on the Wonderfulsound label in autumn of 2019.
Samantha recently signed to Rough Trade Records with her new band PicaPica; they released an EP 'Spring & Shade' in late 2018 and followed with their debut LP 'Together & Apart' earlier this summer and have been enjoying playing festivals including Cambridge Folk Festival and Purbeck Folk Festival.
