She has appeared on BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, BBC Radio 3’s ‘Between The Ears’, BBC 6 Music with Marc Riley and Tom Robinson and BBC Introducing. She was the English Folk Dance and Song Society’s artist is resident 24/25 and she has gained prestigious awards from EFDSS, Help Musicians and the Bert Jansch Foundation for her work.
