Such
was the impact that NAOMI BEDFORD made on our audience last year we
jumped at the chance to welcome her back to The Nelson again - a
rare exception to our policy of not rebooking guests within three years.
Because: she is an enthralling singer - mellifluous and passionate - who wrings the last
drop of drama and emotion from the great ballads of the transatlantic tradition.
Let others add more superlatives:
"An
English Emmylou" -
Justin Currie (Del Amitri)
"Dreamy,
fantastic voice" - Peter
Buck (REM)
"What
a voice!" - Mike
Harding
"A
favourite voice of mine I love to hear her sing" - Shirley Collins
"Intoxicating" - Chris Difford (10cc)
"Great
voice" - Jools
Holland
“We
thought she had a fantastic voice"
- Phil Hartnoll (Orbital)
And
here are just some of the reviews of her most recent album, A History of Insolence
“Brilliant
and original in equal parts” - The
Independent
“Compelling
... impressive” - The
Guardian
“Plenty
of passion” - The
Telegraph
“(Her
voice) is easy to get besotted with”
- Ian Anderson (fRoots)
"Unexpectedly
wonderful" - Colin Irwin
(Mojo Magazine)
"Achingly
expressive" - Maverick
Magazine
Naomi
will, as usual, be accompanied by legendary alt-folk stalwart PAUL SIMMONDS,
driving force behind The Men They Couldn’t Hang.
