“Exquisite” (Uncut Magazine)

With seven albums and five books to her name, independent British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet Emily Maguire has had 3 singles playlisted on Radio 2, toured the UK extensively with the likes of American legend Don McLean and been interviewed on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Front Row, Midweek and numerous regional BBC Radio stations.

“Music for the soul” (Maverick Magazine)

Now separated from her Australian husband and musical partner Christian Dunham with whom she toured for 20 years playing every kind of venue from folk clubs, arts centres and theatres to the acoustic stage at Glastonbury Festival and concert halls including the Royal Albert Hall, Emily is now performing intimate solo house concerts and folk clubs in the UK.

“A class act” (The Mirror)

Open about her struggles with bipolar disorder, Emily’s experience of mental health recovery and her practice of Buddhist meditation over the past 25 years have strongly influenced her songwriting. With a supremely expressive voice, thought-provoking lyrics and songs ‘bathed in raw, emotional power’ (Guitarist Magazine), Emily’s music is a hauntingly beautiful and profoundly moving experience not to be missed.

“Exhilarating and transformational” (RnR Magazine)
