Probably traditional ballads from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales - not sure if there's any particular person who's made much of a difference to my writing style!
Started singing at Cardiff folk clubs as a teenager - went to Warwick University where she ran the student folk club. Lived in London, then in Lyon, France for two years ... returned home, wrote for Karl Dallas's Acoustic Music magazine, was "discovered" by Nic Jones and, subsequently, Martin Simpson. Worked for five years with Mary McLaughlin as the duo Anonyma. Worked occasionally as a duo with Steafan Hannigan. Mostly works solo these days.
