Lauren McCormick

Lauren McCormick is already making waves on the folk scene with her live trio line up, weaving traditional and contemporary song with original tunes and intricate arrangements. Lauren (vocals and flute) is joined by James Delarre (Mawkin:Causley / Jim Moray Band) on fiddle, guitar and melodeon whilst Roz Gladstone on cello, adds chordal, rhythmic bass lines interspersed with sweeping melody lines.

Effortlessly combining spellbinding storytelling with vocal prowess, Lauren’s song choices are perceptive, speaking of the condition of woman both historical and modern, and delivered in her own mischievous fashion.

Once a member of vocal harmony group The Devil’s Interval (2007 BBC Folk Award nominees) along with (recent star of the Under One Sky project) Jim Causley, Lauren has also toured with Waterson:Carthy for five consecutive years as part of the annual Frost and Fire Christmas show and she was recently invited to appear at the South Bank Centre in London as part of The Shirley Collins Folk Roots New Routes series. She has also co–promoted the influential folk club ‘The Magpies Nest’ in London over last couple of years, booking and performing alongside many great names.

Lauren is no stranger to the live stage and has already performed at festivals including Glastonbury, Towersey Village Festival, Brampton Live and Sidmouth International Festival, her forthcoming debut album ‘On Blue Stockings’ is coming soon.
