Emily
SladeEmily Slade is an artist that's just starting to push herself into people's minds and some quite significant minds at that.
Despite never having played in a band before, Emily was drafted in by Phil Beer as a guitarist in his band when he was unexpectedly let down at short notice by the previous incumbent.
It meant that Emily not only had to pick up a lot of songs really quickly it also heralded the most intensive touring schedule she'd ever done. A valuable learning experience.
It's not just as a guitarist that Emily is starting to make an impact as her debut album Shire Boy shows. She can sing and write too.
This is one of those showcase sessions not to be missed. If you haven't caught up with Emily Slade yet, then this will be a good place to start.
