More of wot I have heard…

Beachcomber by Liz Simcock

We saw her at the Dorking Folk Club recently when she played with Ian Newman and Warwick Jones. Her sound reminded me of the ‘Seattle Sound’ that I like, gentle and folksy with subtle guitar flourishes.

‘Liz Simcock writes songs and performs them in folk and acoustic clubs in and around the Southeast. In 1999 she featured on the Playpen Album of New Acoustic Music alongside Eliza Carthy, Billy Bragg, Eddi Reader and Kathryn Williams. Since then she has trodden an independent path, recording three albums and gaining a growing reputation as a performer and songwriter. At many gigs Liz is to be found in the illustrious company of Ian Newman (bass) and / or Warwick Jones (guitar).’
