Raised in a remote dale in the middle of the Yorkshire uplands, Amy’s warm and delicate folk-leaning DIY songs are steeped in the culture, scenery, folklore and wildlife of the countryside that surrounded and shaped her as a child, and continue to shape her understanding of the world today.

They have also fuelled headline tours around the UK and Ireland and landed Ellis a spot at Brighton’s Great Escape festival.
