In 2006 Ruth Notman reached the finals of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award. Threads was released in November 2007 and she follows the huge success of that debut release with The Life of Lilly in 2009.
"Fantastic, really special …….. I was just totally blown away." Kate Rusby
The Life of Lilly is a musical journey that picks up where Threads left off. A perfect balance of traditional, self-penned and well chosen cover material are given Ruth’s usual, unusual treatment. Epic film score-like arrangements and simple accompanied delights gather with rip roaring classics and charming trinkets. It features a whole host of great musicians including Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy) Peter Tickell (Kathryn Tickell Band) and Brian Finnigan (Flook)
Ruth has already achieved much critical acclaim with top reviews in The Guardian, Mojo, The Independent, BBC Radio 2 and fRoots, among others.
