Songstress Martha Bean is making a name for herself winning loud crowds over with ‘fingerpicking wizardry and pitch-perfect falsetto’*. Her songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp. Sometimes described as a present-day female incarnation of Nick Drake, Martha also draws inspiration from diverse influences including Radiohead and Debussy. Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for. * Leicester Mercury ** Fresh On The Net
