   About becca williams
Hello, i'm becca williams, I live in manchester but am originally from north wales and I play songs. Thanks, and hope you enjoyed your visit. x

'Small and dainty but big-voiced and lush. She may be a solitary act but this is an artist who spellbinds!' (http://www.skiddle.com/)

'Highlight of the night Becca Williams, now an assured performer after a summer of gigging and promoting, turns her set into something special with absorbing lyrics, great dynamic changes and an ear for a good tune, with the track "Astronaut Song" being a particular success. Her diminutive stature belies a terrifically loud and strong voice that easily filled the room thankfully drowning out the funky house subsonics drifting up from downstairs!' (Sandman magazine Nov '07)

'becca williams brings a bluesy touch to acoustic sessions. Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and Martha Wainwright she combines a quirky outlook on songwriting with a down to earth approach to making music, thus providing songs which are as attentive to detail as they are easy to listen to!' (TROF Northern 2007)

'And The Award For Biggest Voice Of ITC Saturday, 17:02 ...so far, goes to local singer songwriter Becca Williams who impresses a sizeable Green Room crowd with just an acoustic guitar and a lush vocal tone. Despite her diminutive stature, Williams possesses a voice than makes rooms shake and a strength of song writing that means a sharp ascent to stardom is by no means out of the question.'

Hi, you were amazing at the Verve Bar on Saturday.
I've wanted to see you live since I 1st heard your stuff on here & I wasn't disappointed, what a great line up though, shame you missed D's set, last train? You have an amazingly strong voice for someone so petite and some cool music!! Take care, keep up the good work! You're Awesome!
