Edwina Hayes
The Mick McGarry GMB Main Stage, Saturday, 19.00 – 19.45
One of the finest female singer/songwriters this country has produced in years, Edwina brings together English folk, Americana and the rich Northern singer/songwriter tradition to create a sound that’s truly her own.
Highly accomplished, she’s toured with such notable performers as Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith and Loudon Wainwright III to name just a few.
Edwina numbers Michael Parkinson and Mike Harding among her fans and the title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith who calls her ‘the sweetest voice in England’.
Her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper and has since had more than 20 million plays on Spotify and more than 50 million plays on You Tube.
Edwina’s fourth album Ruby Rose was released in 2022.
Nanci Griffith: ‘The sweetest voice in England. A wonderful young woman, so gifted and full of song.’
The Guardian: ‘Haunting, honeyed, solo songwriter.’
