Album Notes

LIZZIE NUNNERY HAS STORIES TO TELL YOU AND A VOICE TO MAKE YOU LISTEN.

One of the country's most exciting emerging playwrights, at just twenty five she's also bubbling to the surface as one of the most inventive and inspiring singer songwriters of the moment, taking her moving and inventive alt-folk to every corner of the British Isles over the last eight months. The self release of her EP "Monkeys and Devils," has won her acclaim from artists, venues and reviewers alike with BBC Liverpool naming her as their artist of the month and live performances on BBC Radio 3 and at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall fast to follow. Soaked in folk songwriting tradition and peppered with a poetic wit that resonates in the mind and tugs at the soul, Lizzie has drawn frequent comparison with such groundbreaking artists as Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Martha Wainwright, yet the striking elasticity of her vocals and crafted individuality of her lyricism create performances of compelling originality.

The release of her warm and intimate second EP, "Hungry" in March 2008 has helped confirm her reputation as a compelling performer and story teller set to make an impact.

"Lizzie Nunnery produces delicate acoustic music, using beautiful guitar lines to accompany her emotive vocals."

BBC website

"It's a performance that begins to reveal some of the best songs of the evening, as well as some innovative arrangements. Lizzie interlaces her solid strums with sublime, picked passages, mixing in her vocals which sit somewhere not too far away from Kate Bush."

"It's the sort of voice that can carry songs all by itself, it's strong, it's perfectly pitched, it's acrobatic...Lizzie's the complete package."

John Mcgovern, No Ordinary Music

"Lizzie is very talented, frighteningly so. An accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist... In describing the songs you keep thinking beautiful, simple heavenly and ethereal."
