Heidi Talbot became a folk star in the USA as a member of the Irish American band Cherish the Ladies.
From her gossamer voice to the delicate re-working of traditional and contemporary material that has earned her rave reviews for her records and live performances, the girl from Co. Kildare slips effortlessly between musical worlds but retains a personal modesty rooted in traditional folk.
Over the past twenty years Heidi has performed all over North and South America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand performing in the finest Concert Halls and International Festivals. She is equally at home in front of a Symphony Orchestra, a Performing Arts Center, a Folk Festival or even at the White House.
She has shared the stage and recorded with some pretty impressive names too: Mark Knopfler, Graham Coxon(Blur), Eddi Reader, Idlewild, Matt Rollings, King Creosote, Kris Drever, Tim O'Brien and Jerry Douglas have all utilised her talents.
Nominated for Folk singer of the year and Best Traditional Song by BBC Radio 2, Best Live Act by the Scottish Traditional Music Awards and Best Female Vocalist at The Irish Music Awards, Heidi bagged the Composer of The Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2023.
Heidi's ninth studio album, Grace Untold, will be delivered this month.
Heidi will be live at Wavendon venue The Stables on October 16, joined in play by guitarist Innes White and multi instrumentalist Toby Shaer.
She promises a night of 'songs new and old with a dash of humour and a good measure of storytelling.'
