Lauren South

Lauren South is a Rugby based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose self-penned and traditional songs have gained her a reputation as one of Warwickshire’s finest folk musicians. Tenor guitar, fiddle and shruti box provide backing for songs full of emotion and imagery, inspired by Lauren’s love of the night sky, nature and motherhood. Her album Tiny Boat is due out later this year. Lauren has performed at festivals including Bromyard, Warwick, Bunkfest, Gate to Southwell and Chippenham, as well as venues including the Red Lion Folk Club, The Woodman Folk Club, Temperance Leamington and Huntingdon Hall. As well as her solo work, Lauren is a keen collaborator and forms one half of the exciting new duo, Donnelly&South, with Keith Donnelly. ‘I love Lauren's voice! It has a distinctive and unique beauty that allows her to turn every word she sings into a kind of magic formula.’ (Reg Meuross) ‘Enthralling, intricate, pure crystal vocal lines… some of the most beautifully melodic vocal lines I’ve heard.’ (The Woodman Folk Club)
