The date for Emily’s concert at Letcombe Bassett village hall is Saturday 16th November not 10th November as previously advertised on this website.  Tickets can be booked by emailing hello@thatchcombe.co.uk.

Emily performed her first proper gig in 20 months last night at Hatch Court in Loddiswell, Devon, supported by Jody Prewett. You can read her blog here.  Check her gigs page for dates coming up next year when she starts touring again in March.

Emily is performing two public gigs in November before a break for an operation and will start touring again in March next year. Please check her gigs page for dates booked so far and save the date – ticket details will be posted as soon as we have them.  Her public gigs next month are at Hatch Court in south Devon and Letcombe Bassett in Oxfordshire.

If you would like to host a private house concert (minimum 10 people) or promote a small village hall concert in the UK, please contact Emily direct.  If you are a member of a folk club in the UK who might enjoy Emily’s contemporary folk songs, please also get in touch.

If you would like Emily to keep in touch with you, please join her mailing list. You can read her latest email here.

Finally, you can now watch the video for Emily’s song ‘How To Conquer’ on her YouTube channel.

You can now stream Emily’s album of poems and piano ‘Words With Wings’ on Spotify.  It is also available on all other major digital music platforms.

You can also watch videos for ‘How To Conquer’, ‘A Light To Follow’ and ‘My Way Home’ which are all songs from her latest album, plus ‘Omnia Amore (All Is Love)’, a song which is not on any album but was composed by Emily back in 2020.

Emily did her first solo performance in the UK last week (her first gig since March 2023) unplugged at the very intimate Queens Head pub in Newton, Cambridgeshire.  Thanks to everyone who came from so far away to be there.  Thanks especially to Ecki for lending Emily a guitar, Tim Pardoe for bringing her CDs and books all the way from Sussex and Robert Short for lending us the room in his wonderful pub.

Emily is still recovering from 18 months of severe bipolar illness but is now booking limited dates from September 2024 onwards for private house concerts, folk clubs, and listening rooms in pubs.  Please click the gigs tab and then contact her direct to find out more.


Many thanks to Mike Watts for the photo.

Please note: Emily is no longer on social media. Her audiences are very welcome to spread the word by using their own social media to post to friends and family their photos, videos and posts about her gigs.  All support by word of mouth would be greatly appreciated.  To find out where Emily is performing, please join her mailing list.

Emily is now based back in the UK recovering from a year-long severe bipolar episode.  You can read her latest blog.  When she has fully recovered her mental health in the coming months, she will be singing her songs again in intimate solo house concerts and gigs for mental health/community organisations and groups around the UK, but not touring as before.

Emily’s albums and books are no longer available to order online but will be available at her house concerts. Her six studio albums, including ‘A Light To Follow’ which was released in February 2023 just before her return to the UK, can be streamed on her website, Spotify, Apple Music and other digital music platforms. All the lyrics for all Emily’s albums can be found on her website.

If you want to watch Emily perform her songs live, you can find the videos of both sets of her gig at Eudlo Hall in Australia in October 2020 on page 2 of her videos (also on her YouTube channel). This gig, performed to a restricted audience of 43 people during the Covid lockdown, featured Christian Dunham on bass, Sarah King on violin/viola and Louise King on cello.  You can download for free the album and lyric booklet for ‘Live at Eudlo Hall’ here.

A short documentary about the making of Emily’s seventh album ‘A Light To Follow’ in the Australian bush (released just before she returned to the UK last year) is available on her videos page or on her YouTube channel.

You can also hear the 15 minute BBC broadcast (recorded in Australia in 2022) of Emily’s programme about her fourth book ‘Words With Wings’, introducing and playing a selection of the poems (accompanied by her own original piano music) from the digital album that accompanies the book.
