Emily’s gig at Twickfolk this Sunday has been cancelled due to illness – she has a throat virus and cannot sing at the moment.  Apologies to everyone who was planning to come.  The gig has been rescheduled to 11 January 2026.

Emily performed at Gaunts House in Wimborne last Saturday, supported by Jody Prewett.  You can watch one of the songs she sang (filmed by an audience member) on her YouTube channel – click here to see it.  Emily’s next public performance will be at Twickfolk in London on Sunday 22 June.  Tickets are available here.  If you would like Emily to keep you posted on her future performances, please join her mailing list.

Following her sold out gig in the basement bar of Green Note in London last week, Emily and Jody will be playing the main room at the venue in November – tickets are on sale now.  Emily’s next public gig at Liberal Hall in Orpington is sold out but there are some tickets available for her gig in the ballroom at Gaunts House in Wimborne on Saturday 17 May.

Emily and Jody performed at private house concerts in Exeter and Wiveliscombe at the weekend.  You can read Emily’s latest blog here.  The next 3 gigs are all public – in Birmingham, Bradford-on-Avon and London.  Check Emily’s gig page for details and please spread the word if you have friends in the area – all support very welcome.

Emily performed unplugged to a packed audience at Cuts in Soho last Thursday night, supported by Jody Prewett. For those who couldn’t get tickets you can catch her at Green Note in Camden on Wednesday 16 April but please book soon as the capacity is very limited.  Emily’s next public gig is at the South Wraxall Club near Bradford-on-Avon on Friday 21 March. Tickets are available on the door.

Emily and her friend Jody Prewett performed to a packed room at Sandy Hill Arts in Corfe Castle last night.  Thanks to everyone who came and to Melissa Viney and the other trustees for having us.

Emily is mainly doing private house concerts this year so if you have a living room and some friends who might like to hear her songs, please get in touch with her (click here for more info).

After a writer’s block lasting 20 months, Emily has started writing songs again – “a glacier turned into a waterfall” as she describes it.  You can read her latest blog here.  She has now recovered from her kidney operation and is looking forward very much to performing again, supported by her friend and neighbour Jody Prewett, starting with a gig on Saturday 22nd February at Sandy Hill Arts which is based in the beautiful Dorset village of Corfe Castle.  All Emily’s gig dates for the coming months can be found here.

At the end of November, Emily and Jody greatly enjoyed performing at a retirement community in Bristol followed by a private house concert in Atworth near Bath.  Emily then had a major kidney operation in December.  She is recovering well.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and New Year.

Award-winning journalist Melanie Reid mentioned Emily’s song ‘Bird Inside A Cage’ in her final ‘Spinal Column’ in The Times Magazine today.  Melanie broke her neck and back in a riding accident nearly 15 years ago which left her in a wheelchair.  She began writing Spinal Column from her hospital bed only two weeks after the accident when she had just come off a ventilator.

A photograph of Melanie on the cover of The Times Magazine in 2011 inspired Emily to write ‘Bird Inside A Cage’.  It became the title track of her fourth album and was described by Melanie in her column as her ‘candle in the wind moment’ (you can read the original article here).

You can read Emily’s blog about it and listen to ‘Bird Inside A Cage’ here on her website or any digital music platform including Spotify.

Emily performed her second solo gig at Letcombe Bassett Village Hall last night, supported by Jody Prewett.  Thanks to everyone who came and to Tony Haupt from Thatchcombe B&B for organising the night.  You can read Emily’s blog here. If you would like Emily to come and perform in your village hall, please contact her direct.
