A Walk Around Britain

We met Susie Ro and Ayla in Falmouth, where they were sharing a bed in their chilly van, next to a cottage, above the international dock.

Ed had spotted them as they drove through town in their van, and had run after them, as he recognized them from Small World Festival. But they out-sped his best pace.

In Penzance, a few weeks later, we met a girl called Daisy, who sang a song about magpies, that was most excellent.  She knew the girls, got us their number, and we arranged to meet at a gig in Falmouth, a few days later.

Lucy is a singer/songwriter from the Canterbury scene, evoking the sound of the great female american singer-songwriters of the 60′s and 70’s. Her music is a beautiful and ecclectic mix of folk rock and country blues and she has developed a growing fanbase through her self-penned acoustic songs.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and PJ Harvey, her style is one some find difficult to pigeon hole. Recognition for her songwriting has seen her reach the semi finals of the BBC Radio 2 young folk award in 2006/2007.
