Liz Simcock postponed |
|
Singer/songwriter Liz Simcock featured on the 1999 Playpen Album of New Acoustic Music alongside Eliza Carthy, Billy Bragg, Eddi Reader and Kathryn Williams. Since then she has trodden an independent path, gaining a growing reputation as a performer and songwriter. Liz counts Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson, Boo Hewerdine and Joni Mitchell amongst her main songwriting role models. Her latest (fifth) album with working title "Winter Hill" was released this year, a pared down acoustic album featuring one voice, one guitar and a handful of beautifully crafted and previously unreleased songs. “In this world of pop idols and celebrity worship, a quiet revolution is indeed taking place! There are those of us out there looking for the real thing - : “One of the country’s finest female singer songwriters. Put simply, Liz Simcock is a class act. Her understated songwriting style & performances are always faultless, cliché free & moving” AcoustiCity |

Just for a change, have a bit of a laugh. Skinner & Twitch are a duo who produce original songs which, let’s face it, are not really folk, but once you edge away from the traditional, the boundaries get fuzzier and anyway, many of the traditional songs were intended to raise a laugh (The Derby Ram, Such a Beauty I did Grow, Three Dunken Huntsmen, The Oxford Ramble, etc., etc.). What their website says: “Skinner & T’witch! A Leeds based duo performing folk, flamenco and theatre style songs, with driving rhythms, intense harmonies and inspiring lyrics.” What others say: ‘The one and only Skinner & T'witch...a pair of comic geniuses’. David Chamberlain, Acoustic Routes, Dapper FM/Blues and Roots Radio Skinner & T'witch...'are world experts at writing comedy songs'.
