Description

Odd, unconventional melodies, poetic, sophisticated song-writing and the bewitching clarity of Kent-born,Canada-based Lucy Farrell?s voice are made elegant with sparse, careful accompaniment on tenor guitar and occasionally viola, carving out a unique niche for an artist at the forefront of contemporary English folk music.
Finding an international audience among artists like Julia Jacklin, Emily Portman, The Weather Station,The Unthanks and Eliza Carthy, the 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner is not only awarded as a renowned composer and singer, but also as viola/fiddle/tenor guitar-player. Her work as a band member and collaborator with such artists and projects as Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band; Gluepot; Modern Fairies; The Furrow Collective; Carthy, Oates, Farrell & Young; and her duo work with Andrew Waite and Jonny Kearney, respectively has meant releasing a collection of her distinctive solo work has had to wait ? until now.
Songs from Lucy?s debut solo album, recorded at Wenlock Abbey in Much Wenlock, will soon be available.

Lucy will be supported on this tour by Leeds based Iona Lane whose well crafted songs are delivered with immense passion and belie an understanding beyond her years.

For the time being we?re requesting that performers and audience be aware of the guidelines in place regarding the pandemic and please don?t attend any event if you feel you have any Covid-like symptons. Better still, take a lateral flow test before you come along just to make sure.
