Described as “absolutely haunting”;, BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour and “Both timeless and utterly contemporary”; Songwriting Magazine. Her recent EP Sad Lady Songs Vol.1. reimagines
traditional folk songs and tales, combining them with dulcimers and synthesizers to create a head spinning mix of yesterday and today.

She also gained prestigious awards from EFDSS, Help Musicians and the Bert Jansch Foundation for her work.
