Thanks to everyone who came to my gig at the Cambridge Junction on Saturday night. It’s such a fantastic venue and I really enjoyed it. And thanks to Jon Hill for a very cool pic. Next up is Artrix Arts Centre in Bromsgrove on 1st April.

It’s International Women’s Day and my birthday. I’m feeling immense gratitude for having had a really good year and looking forward to what’s coming next.

And next up is a gig at The Junction in Cambridge next week, followed by gigs in Bromsgrove, Bath, Helmsley (York), Penzance, Carlisle, Milton Keynes, Leeds, Newcastle, Maidenhead and Southampton (check my gigs page for dates and details).

Please do spread the word if you’ve got friends or family in any of these places – my audience is all based on word of mouth. Here’s a link to a hidden page on my website to introduce my music: https://www.emilymaguire.com/htm/introducing.htm

Finally, I’ve just posted another video in my ‘Songs From My Attic’ series. The song is the album version of my radio single ‘For Free’. Here it is…

I hope all’s well in your world.

Thanks to everyone who came to my album launch at St Pancras Old Church in London last Friday. It was so lovely to see you all there.

Special thanks to Brendan Collins, Rebecca Kemp, Laurence Dyer, Simon Nilsson, Mike Garrett, Mike Watts and most of all my fabulous bass player Christian Dunham for making it a night to remember. You can see photos of the gig here.

My next gig is at Farnham Maltings in Surrey this Friday. Click here for tickets.

I am so happy to tell you that my fifth album ‘A Bit Of Blue’ is out today. I’d like to say a huge thank-you to the fans who so generously sponsored this album and made its release possible. Thank you all so much for your amazing support – we couldn’t do it without you.

I’d like to thank my producer Nigel Butler for once again transforming my raw songs into such a beautiful record. Thanks also to Pix Vane Mason in Australia for giving me the perfect place to record the vocals. And thanks to Christian Dunham as always for making it all happen.

This album follows a dark time in my life. I wanted these songs to be stripped bare, haunting and as beautiful as they could possibly be. I wanted to say that a bit of blue is sometimes a good thing: to make you think, reassess, find some freedom in this crazy world we live in.

I have so many things to be grateful for – most of all that tonight I’ll be playing my piano and guitar with Christian in St Pancras Old Church in London just like old times, but with new songs, new arrangements and new sounds… can’t wait.
