As part of Refugee Week, Emily is performing a benefit gig in Leeds this Friday for PAFRAS (Positive Action for Refugees & Asylum Seekers). The following night (Saturday 24 June) she is performing at The Cluny in Newcastle. Booking links for both these gigs can be found on her gigs page.

To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week, we’ve released a video for Emily’s seminal song ‘I’d Rather Be’, written after her diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Originally a Radio 2 single from her third album ‘Believer’, Emily recorded this piano version of ‘I’d Rather Be’ for her latest album ‘A Bit Of Blue’. Read her blog about why she wrote the song.
