👋🏻Hi there! I am delighted to introduce Amber Liadan,
In the vibrant tapestry of the Soulful - Indie Folk Pop scene, Amber Liadan stands out as a radiant force of inspiration. With her profound lyrics and powerful vocal performances, she doesn’t just sing; she connects, dances, resonates, and uplifts. Accompanied by her gifted band—Dave Male on drums, Carol Whitworth on bass and vocal harmonies, and Phil Moffett on lead guitar and vocal harmonies—Amber creates a sonic landscape that lingers long after the last note fades.
Amber’s musical journey is deeply rooted in her heritage, as the daughter of renowned musicians Heather Mac and Tim Parr, pivotal figures in the iconic South African 80s band Ella Mental. This lineage has shaped her artistry, infusing each song with authenticity and depth. For over nine years, Amber has tirelessly honed her craft through extensive touring, captivating audiences across South Africa, Ireland, and the UK, all while solidifying her foothold in the music industry. Her sound has often drawn comparisons to the ethereal creativity of iconic artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Kate Bush, and Amy Winehouse, each of whom has carved a distinctive niche in the world of music.

Her 2017 debut album, Warrior, produced by Glenn Keiles, marked her arrival as a powerful voice, and her recent triumph at the Shipston Proms Introducing Competition in 2023 further elevated her status. The release of her new single, In Your Arms, garnered attention on BBC Introducing West Midlands, setting the stage for her exhilarating Sofar Sounds debut in Birmingham.

In September last year, she made waves in the music industry with the release of her highly anticipated single, "Saturday Night." This catchy track debuted to enthusiastic crowds at two iconic venues: The Albany Theatre in Coventry and the Fiddlers Elbow in London. "Saturday Night’’ has quickly gathered attention for its infectious beat and relatable lyrics, capturing the essence of carefree weekends and the joy of living in the moment.

With 2.8K monthly listeners on Spotify and growing, Amber Liadan has a special connection to her audience. Amber Liadan is not just a talented performing musician and singer on stage; she embodies a commitment to fostering creativity and expression among young people. Over the years, she has dedicated herself to working with youth in schools, recognizing the profound impact that the performing arts can have on development, confidence, and self-discovery.

As we look towards the British summer of 2026, all eyes are on her as she continues to weave her magic through music, encouraging us all to dance, feel, and dream. Amber Liadan is undoubtedly an artist to watch, an artist who invites us to join her on this beautiful journey of sound and soul.
