About the event
Residing in Warwickshire, Lauren South is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist renowned for her original compositions and traditional melodies. With the accompaniment of tenor guitar, fiddle, and shruti box, her songs exude heartfelt emotion and vivid imagery, drawing inspiration from her passion for the nocturnal heavens, the natural world, and her journey through motherhood. Lauren’s debut solo album, Tiny Boat, was released in November 2023 to critical acclaim, with tracks featuring on FATEA’s Spring Showcase 2024, BBC Lincolnshire and Shropshire folk shows, and BBC Introducing.
Beyond her solo endeavours, Lauren is an enthusiastic collaborator and is often found playing alongside John Parker (double bass) and Keith Donnelly (guitar).
Lauren is also a regular performer on the UK folk circuit and has been playing folk festival main stages since 2019.
