About Nancy Elizabeth

Nancy Elizabeth (Cunliffe) is a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist from Manchester, United Kingdom who mixes folk and post-rock influences to make her enchanting and dynamic music. Her first album Battle and Victory was released on the Leaf label in 2007. It was all recorded in a 17th century cottage in rural Wales and a village hall on the outskirts of Manchester and features guitars, harp, dulcimers and harmonium amongst other instruments - and all alongside her unique voice and harmonies. Her debut EP The Wheel Turning King was released under her full name Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe in 2006 on Timbreland. It was all recorded in an old Corinthian style church over two all night sessions taking influences from sources as diverse as European gypsy songs, choral a cappella and North African music as well as more traditional British forms. During 2006 and 2007 her many gigs included supports for James Yorkston, Tunng, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Marissa Nadler, Espers, The Memory Band and Josephine Foster. Her second full-length album Wrought Iron was released October 2009. http://www.nancyelizabeth.co.uk/
