She comes from a wonderful little town in Suffolk called Bungay and has one of the most incredible voices I have every heard, she’s an extraordinary songwriter, a truly gifted song-stress. and an unbelievably talented musician. http://www.myspace.com/misslisaambrose LUCY SAMPSON is a singer-songwriter based in Benhall, Suffolk, grounded in the great tradition of British song writing and acoustic roots, with a fresh and uncluttered indie-folk sensibility. Lucy would cite the Watersons, Kate Rusby, Norah Jones, Jim Moray, and Eliza Carthy, as influences. There are echoes of Laura Marling and Sarah Siskind in her vocal approach, and a splash of John Martyn and Nick Drake modal elements to her guitar style. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lucy-Sampson/203018749771018 FREYA ROY is an astonishingly talented 15 yr old singer/songwriter and guitarist from Halesworth. Utilising a looping pedal and her delightful voice she creates layers of emotive, heartfelt and atmospheric indie/folk songs. Her début album comes out in June. http://www.freyaroy.blogspot.com/
