Based in Wigan—tucked between two musical powerhouses, Liverpool and Manchester—Lindsey Holding captivates audiences with soulful, emotionally rich performances and story-driven songwriting.
Starting out in her teens she’s enjoyed performing across the UK with various bands, she found her solo voice in her late twenties, drawing not only from personal experience but also from the world around her—turning both inner reflections and keen
observations into heartfelt, relatable songs.
Now a seasoned artist, Lindsey performs both solo and has enjoyed collaborative setups -
weaving together music, poetry, and spoken word alongside a vibrant community of creatives.
She continues to be supportive of other emerging and returning artists, nurturing the scene she
calls home.
Her original songs like Rip Up the Distance and Ghostwriting explore themes of love, loss,
growth, sleepless nights, and wild weekends—with raw honesty and lyrical nuance that leaves
audiences spellbound.

Reviews - Narrowboat Session:
Folk North West review - click for page here
"Recorded live on the Narrowboat Sessions in July 2024, this is a three-song taster EP from
Wigan based artist Lindsey Holding. To refer to her simply as a singer songwriter would be a lazy
label to apply.
Perhaps she can best be described as offering emotionally intelligent Indie folk.
Eschewing traditional folk themes, the songs reflect on relationships from various points of view, both on the inside and from that of an invested observer. There’s a fragile edge to her vocals that add character to her delivery and interest to the listening. If this is intended as a taste of things to come, then it has worked, as we have been left hungry for more!" Damian Liptrot, Folk North West
