Featuring:

Inspired by the darker underbelly of folklore and balladry, singer, songwriter and concertina player Emily Portman weaves harmony-rich narratives of both the magical and the monstrous. With two 2010 BBC Folk Award nominations, she is fast gaining a reputation for her song-writing talent and lark-like voice.

Emily first cut her teeth on the folk scene with harmony trio The Devil’s Interval, annually tours with Waterson:Carthy, and has commendations from a host of folk luminaries. Emily’s debut solo album The Glamoury has been received with overwhelming critical acclaim
