Amy Goddard

Thursday 11.00 - 12.00

Amy’s a well-regarded name on the folk and acoustic scene around Portsmouth, although she grew up in South Wales in the Merthyr Valley. Her status as a singer-songwriter is complemented by her expertise as music teacher and luthier. (mini-bio from fRoots)

Amy was pleased to release her new album Rise this summer. 11 tracks, mostly her own material and featuring some amazing guests. Ross Ainslie (Musician of the Year nominee BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2013, 2016 and 2018) on whistles and pipes. Hannah Fisher (Idlewild and King Creosote) on fiddle.

This release follows three acclaimed CDs of her own material, including the award winning song

Remembering Aberfan, and a tribute album to John Stewart named as number 2 in the critics choice for 2019 in Country Music People.

The album Rise and it's single Cornish Mist have received excellent air play and press.

If Cornish Mist is a guarantee of the quality of the album it's going to be special.

Cornish Mist is a lyrical, vivid take on the power of place and landscape. Songlines

Goddard's voice, in equal parts pure and rich, and the perfect vehicle to communicate each song's similarly rich emotion. Rock n Reel
