Thanks to everyone who came to my gigs at The Old Stables in Cricklade, The Acorn in Penzance and my house concert in south Devon (see the pic below). I am so happy to be playing again and meeting so many lovely people wherever we go. Next weekend I’m playing Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham – a rescheduled gig from when I was ill. Tickets can be booked here. If you can make it, it would be great to see you there.
Hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine wherever you are.

Emily was on Radio 4 today interviewed by Coronation Street actress Cherylee Houston as part of a programme called ‘The Agony and the Ecstasy’ looking at the link between pain and creativity. The programme was originally broadcast in March 2017. You can listen again here.
I can’t tell you what a relief it is to be up and dressed and able to walk into town (slowly). Pneumonia hits you hard. I was gutted to have to cancel my tour of Germany and five other UK gigs last month but I just couldn’t get out of bed and could hardly speak let alone sing.
Upsides to being ill were listening to a lot of Pema Chodron and reading some really wonderful books and having lovely friends come and bring me soup and flowers. Christian was amazing of course.
Most of my UK gigs have now been rescheduled so if you had tickets I hope you can make the new dates (all listed on my website). I’m so sorry for all the inconvenience. I am now looking forward very much to the rest of my tour starting with Gullivers in Manchester on Friday next week.
Hope you managed to avoid the flu and that all’s well in your world.

Emily’s gigs at Artrix Arts Centre and ARC Stockton Arts Centre this week have been postponed unfortunately due to illness. Emily is recovering from pneumonia and isn’t well enough yet to perform. Her gig at Artrix has been rescheduled to Friday 15 June. We don’t have a new date yet for ARC Stockton Arts Centre but will keep you posted.
Emily’s gigs at Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham (2 March) and Forest Arts Centre in New Milton (3 March), cancelled due to the snow, have now both been rescheduled. Emily will play Ashcroft Arts Centre on 28 April and Forest Arts Centre on 28 July. Booking links can be found on her gigs page.
We are very sorry to announce that due to illness Emily’s tour of Germany has been postponed until further notice. Emily has pneumonia following a bout of flu and is unable to fulfil her touring commitments in Germany. She is very disappointed to be letting down her German fans and the UK fans who were going to be following her on this tour. She hopes to be able to perform there again later in the year. Fans with tickets should contact the promoter.
I’m so sorry to say that both my gig at Ashcroft Arts Centre in Farnham tonight and Forest Arts in New Milton tomorrow night have been cancelled due to the weather. We will rearrange the dates so hopefully I’ll be performing there before too long. Please contact the venue if you have a ticket – you can phone Ashcroft Arts Centre on 01329 223100 and Forest Arts on 01425 619983.
