A songwriter by trade, but a writer at heart, Newfoundland-born Curran describes song-writing as an act of ‘expressing the inexpressible’; her achingly beautiful songs sneak up on you. They aren’t showy. There are no gimmicks. Yet listen after listen, her melodies gain traction and little bits of the lyrics stick in your head. Lizzie Nunnery completes this beautifully formed double-bill. She has stories to tell and a voice to make you listen. She released her debut album Company of Ghosts in 2010 when BBC Radio 2’s Mike Harding named it in his top ten releases of the year. Nunnery’s reputation as a captivating new voice in British folk, has continued to grow.
