Folk singer songwriter Ruth Notman was one of the leading ‘nu-folk revivalists’ of the late 00s, bridging folk music into the 21st century and plugging it into a mainstream audience.

Ruth first rocketed into the consciousness of the wider music scene in 2007, at 18 years old, with her debut album ‘Threads’. Ruth’s unique voice, and her novel and vibrant interpretation of songs, brought her overnight national critical acclaim. ‘Threads’ also gained Ruth support from luminaries such as Bob Harris, Kate Rusby and Mike Harding.

Following the release of her second album, ‘The Life of Lilly’, in 2009, Ruth went on to collaborate with the likes of Sinead O’Connor, Ronnie Wood, Nick Mason, Imelda May, and BBC Folk Award-winner Sam Kelly.

Now, 16 years after her second album, Ruth is preparing to record what must surely be the most eagerly awaited album in British folk music.
