"I was very, very charmed by this; it has a very, very timeless quality...utterly wonderful stuff" - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales, on Spring Interlude

Biography:
The words 'haunting', 'mesmeric', 'quirky', 'memorable', 'exceptional' and 'brilliant' have all been used to describe acoustic singer-songwriter Rosie Sleightholme, whose voice has been compared to the likes of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Florence Welch. Classically trained in piano and cello and immersed in music from a young age, Rosie started writing songs as an Archaeology student at university. Performing regularly as a band cellist and doing occasional solo gigs following university, Rosie started gigging seriously as a solo artist in 2010, following a year of travelling around the world. It was during this year away singing, writing and performing songs in many different countries, that she gained the confidence to pursue her talent. Her aim is to write and record honest music from the heart that others can relate to.
Rosie has performed at several festivals over the last few years, including Fire in The Mountain, End of the Road and Glastonbury, as well as playing support slots for artists such as This Is The Kit, Stephen Steinbrink, Buke and Gase, The Mariner's Children and Alessi's Ark. She has had her music played on BBC Radio Wales, did a live session with them on Alan Thompson's Evening show in Cardiff in late 2012, and was chosen as their BBC Introducing Act of the Week in May 2013. She has played at top acoustic venues including Union Chapel, Kensington Roof Gardens, Notting Hill Arts Club, Ronnie Scotts, The Jericho Tavern, The Bedford, The Half Moon, The Troubadour, The Regal Room and Proud Camden. Originally from London, Rosie moved to rural mid-Wales in late 2011 to write and record and enjoy life away from the bustle of the city. In early 2013 she left her country life and moved to Bristol to get involved with the thriving music scene there. Her four EP releases are available to download at http://rosiesingssomesongs.com/

"The final act that we saw before we had to leave was Rosie Sleightholme, a singer who writes and performs remarkably deep and meaningful songs - one in particular she performed last night focused on her homesickness for England after living in the Far East for some time and its poignancy, combined with her powerful voice, almost had me in tears!" - The Londoneer blog
