Julie Murphy’s remarkable voice has led to collaborations with John Cale and Robert Plant and to Time Out declaring her a ‘must see, must hear singer’. Well known for her work with Welsh folk innovators Fernhill, she has just released a new solo album A Quiet House, her first for ten years. She describes the songs, which were written mainly at the piano, as “musical collages, as much influenced by the paintings of Chagall as they are by folk song and the music of Steve Reich and Joanna Newsom”.

Joining her on harp and trombone is Canadian musician Ceri Owen Jones reprising his exquisite contributions to the album.
