Lucy Kitchen is a British folk singer-songwriter based in Romsey, Hampshire. She makes music spanning Folk, Americana, a little bit of Country, and infused with the feel of 70s singer-songwriters. Lucy's songs explore concepts of grief and loss. She is inspired by lyrical poets, nature, the seasons and making beauty out of hard things.
In the search for touchstones she is often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Beth Orton and, vocally, to Sandy Denny.
With two previous albums released on her label “Bohemia Rose Records”, and recent releases on RE:WARM Records on the Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Vol. 2 album and on Sounds of Southampton Vol. 3 she released “The Stabal Sessions” EP in December 2023. A sonic tapestry of melancholic melodies and personal storytelling, this was her first musical project since the loss of her husband to cancer in October 2022. Lucy’s new album, ‘In the Low Light’ is due to be released February 2026.
Lucy's unique blend of hypnotic folk music, combined with her evocative voice and emotive song-writing, continues to captivate audiences both in the UK and internationally. She has garnered radio features including BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio London, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio USA and Radio X.
Lucy has been in demand for collaborations over the past few years. Working with a number of electronic music acts to write and record she has featured multiple times on BBC Radio 1 and in Mixmag magazine (“Majestic muse”)

*****************************************************************
E.R. Thorpe is a singer-songwriter and visual artist whose haunting sound blends poetic storytelling with raw emotional depth. Raised in rural North Nottinghamshire by a blues guitarist father and a folk-inspired mother, she draws on a natural world rich with texture, memory, and meaning.
Her debut LP, Human Love (Spring 2026), is an intimate reflection on resilience and renewal. Produced by Jim Baron of Crazy P following his acclaimed Love Makes Magic LP, the record showcases the creative collaboration of Nottingham’s vibrant scene, featuring contributions from Huw Costin (Torn Sail), Kev Bales (Spiritualized), Matt Klose (Crazy P) and renowned jazz bassist Simon Paterson.
Performing regularly with The Low Drift, a collective inspired by the folklore and stories of the British Isles, Thorpe captivates audiences with a quiet, magnetic presence. Her voice carries both strength and vulnerability, and her songs are crafted to resonate deeply in intimate and grand settings.
Drawing comparisons to Nick Cave’s lyrical depth and the stark beauty of Sally Mann’s photography, Emma’s upcoming single, Human Love, from the album of the same name, will be released in December on Vicious Charm Recordings. Label boss and Skint founder Damian Harris signed her after falling in love with her EP
Guided By The Sea (Came Death) in 2023.
