Ruth Notman Trio
Advance Price: £18.50
Ruth Notman is a folk singer/songwriter from Nottingham who is, most notably, known for being one of the leading ‘nu-folk revivalists’ in the late 00’s who bridged folk music into the 21st Century and plugged it into a mainstream audience.
Ruth first rocketed into the consciousness of the wider music scene in 2007, at 18 years old, with her debut album ‘Threads’. Notman’s unique voice coupled with her novel and vibrant interpretation of folk songs garnered her overnight national critical acclaim and media attention seldom seen by a small independent release. ‘Threads’ also gained Notman support from luminaries such as BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris, Kate Rusby and Mike Harding to name a few. Ruth further cemented her musical stature and identity with extensive touring and the release of her second album, ‘The Life of Lilly’ (2009), which enjoyed similar accolades to her debut.
In 2015, Notman was invited to join the impressive collaborative artist roster of the ‘Evamore’ project where her studio contributions and stunning vocal compositions attracted the late Sinead O’Connor. The song ‘One More Yard’ was released in 2019 and featured Ronnie Wood, Nick Mason and Imelda May.
