Kelso Folk Festival
5th to 7th September – Details and tickets from the link
Edwina Hayes
Friday 17th October from 7:30 at the Oak Room in the Cross Keys in Kelso
One of the finest female singer/songwriters this country has produced in years. Edwina brings together English folk, Americana and the rich Northern singer/songwriter tradition to create a sound that’s truly her own.
Highly accomplished she’s toured with such notable performers as Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith and Loudon Wainwright III to name just a few.
Edwina numbers Michael Parkinson and Mike Harding among her fans and the title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith who calls her ‘the sweetest voice in England’.
Her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper and has since had over twenty million plays on Spotify and over fifty million plays on You Tube.
Edwina’s 4th album Ruby Rose was released in 2022.
‘The sweetest voice in England. A wonderful young woman, so gifted and full of song.’ Nanci Griffith
‘Haunting, honeyed, solo songwriter.’ The Guardian
