HANNAH ASHCROFT
WITH VISUALS BY FIONA SINEAD BREHONY
SET DATE: FRIDAY 24th JUNE
SET TIME: 17:30 - 18:00
‘Her prowess on the guitar is equally impressive on the acoustic as the on the electric guitar, and they combine with her beautifully haunting vocals which are at once soft and powerful – creating a sound which effortlessly bridges indie, folk, singer-songwriter and rock.
She has gained initial acclaim from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music’s Tom Robinson & Mary Anne Hobbs as well as tastemaker music sites such as Clash, Lock Magazine and Amazing Radio. Hannah has also collaborated with Mercury Prize-nominated artist Beth Orton as part of Brighter Sound’s gender equality initiative Both Sides Now.’
