Folk music alert, as I know it’s not to everyone’s taste.
From a PR blurb when the debut album was released back in 2022 on Last Night From Glasgow:-
“Jemima Thewes is a singer/songwriter who grew up in the highlands of Scotland; an atmospheric landscape which continues to help provide the bones of her music. She sings traditional songs and her own material.
In February 2015 Jemima independently launched her debut EP Bright Shadows with friends and collaborators Tim Lane (tongue drum), David Boyter (guitar/ mandolin) and Susan Appelbe (cello). It has been greatly received with radio plays on stations such as Travelling Folk on BBC Radio Scotland and Late Junction on BBC Radio 3. Cloud-hopping tales are told by warm, haunting vocals and adorned with playful instrumentation. Jemima and her band charm you along a cathartic, spell- binding and life- affirming journey. The unique combination of strings and a rare wooden box in the form of a chromatic tongue drum creates an innovative sound which along with Jemima’s compelling voice, magically stirs the emotions to the very heart of the soul.”
One of the tracks from the album was made available to subscribers as a digital download when it was released as one half of a split single in late 2021:-
