Gwyneth Herbert is an artist who continues to redefine (and defy) our expectations. A singer-songwriter with one foot in the jazz world and one somewhere in the future.

With pierrot-dotted eyes, polka-spotted shoes and swanny whistle in hand she may appear as whimsical as a Bonzo Dog, but writes beautiful melodies and has a poet's grasp of the world around her.

Herbert's songs are populated by a living, breathing cast of beaten-down dreamers, jaded city-dwellers, and women in a quandary, and have the critics in a fizz, scrambling for comparisons with Lennon and McCartney, Nina Simone, the Kinks and Tom Waits.

'Brilliantly original, full of space and isolated detail.' - MOJO
