LONDON: Green Note

MON 21ST OCT, 2013 Doors Open 7:00pm Music Starts 8:00pm

A young ballad singer from Cumbria, Maz O’Connor, was first inspired to sing when she attended a Folkworks youth summer school a few years ago. Since then she has appeared as guest singer with Last Orders, winners of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2007, at festivals all over the U.K., Spain and Germany, before going on to become a finalist in the competition herself in 2009. Currently studying English at university, Maz has performed at many summer festivals since the competition, often accompanied by Matthew Jones on guitar.

Maz’s sets feature a mixture of contemporary, traditional and original songs, accompanied by guitar, shruti box, and piano, and all delivered with an honesty that is born of a love of folk song and a commitment to a good story. Maz and Matthew’s debut EP has just been released on Haystack Records, and an album will follow next Spring.
