SINCE the UK release of the widely acclaimed With The Dawn in 2015, Bella Hardy has been the only UK artist officially selected for WOMEX in Budapest, was the opening act for Mary Chapin Carpenter on her full British Tour, and spent seven weeks in China as British Council and PRS For Music Foundation’s musician in residence.

The BBC Folk Award winner creates twisted tales that touch on both the fantastical elements of Kate Bush, and the lovelorn song writing craft of Carole King.

Bella is set to perform music from her much-anticipated new album Hey Sammy, which includes tracks such as You Don’t Owe The World Pretty dedicated to daughters of all ages, Stars based on an ancient poem from the Chinese Shijing, and Learning To Let Go written underneath a magnolia tree in Berkeley, California.

She appears at Turner Sims tonight.
