She's American but moved to Manchester I think because she is/was in a relationship with someone who has something to do with Elbow so she is a friend of Guy Garvey. She also did a radio documentary for the BBC about Joni Mitchell who is obviously a big influence on her.
I think I'm right in saying that last year it was the Croissant Neuf guys that got him back in the door. If he's not on the bandstand this year then I dunno if it's looking super positive
Yes, I read a review on one her dates that was more of a Q&A and a few songs, but at Cheltenham we got a pretty much straight up hour long gig, with her son helping out on a few. She chatted between songs, but nothing drawn out.
The right festival crowd would carry her, I'm sure, but I dont see it happening.
