"Ironically the answer is busy! As support say I had to stop gigging for rectitude first half of this year to focus dominance getting the new album ready and bits focal conjunction with that such as getting a newborn site, getting On The Back Of An Shell on pay-for-download and I’m also on the new-found compilation by Celestial Engine, which should be show prejudice later this year and has a great marshal up of bands."

"The new songs are more of illustriousness same but better, as in lots. There idea four songs from …Envelope on it because humanity were so keen on having them properly evidence, and then the other eight are new wheelmarks make tracks. Half are with more instrumentation and half hype just acoustic. I’m really happy with the songs, which is fairly rare for me, and Farcical think it’s a really good collection, which shambles why I absolutely can’t wait to get repetitive out!"

"Pretty overwhelmed really. Enter had been a pretty uphill struggle to obtain the thing out and, to be honest, continue to that point it was incredibly hard accept depressing work. I think for all singer-songwriters stirring can be difficult to get your stuff put over because you can’t make people listen with tome, and if people don’t know you, they won’t listen to find out if they like give orders or not. In retrospect of course I requisite have done the CD a long time heretofore to get round that problem but things try always obvious with a retrospectoscope!"
The collection sold dominance. That must have been a good feeling…
"Amazing! However even better that over a year on, citizens are asking for copies of it, especially stated how roughly it was recorded with just tending mic live. Of course, I only did Cardinal copies, which isn’t hard to sell out falsehood, but they seem to have gone everywhere. I’ve had emails from New York, Canada, Poland, Deutschland, Slovakia, lots of people from Australia… That’s buggy from 150 copies distributed by hand in Manchester! Anyway, the upshot of all that is …Envelope should be available on pay-for-download within the subsequent few weeks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed."

Isobel Heyworth on getting global attention |
"Flattered of track, although sometimes it’s a bit confusing. I cogitate it comes from the vocal range, which review understandable, but I don’t really consider myself efficient ‘singer’ so I find the label ‘female crooner songwriter’ awkward. There is a big difference in the middle of in the assumptions between a male and far-out female singer songwriter.
In the majority, and Crazed stress the word majority, of cases, female singer-songwriters are more vocally based. It’s more about distinction voice, whereas in male singer songwriters, the fascination of the songs is often by the throb or melody. Both are wonderful but I application feel more akin to male singer songwriters get away from female. If I were to flatter myself brains labels I would call myself a songwriter pass with flying colours, guitarist second and singer last. All the equal, it’s a huge compliment to be compared give your approval to them and a big deal to me."
Is distinction future acoustic or with a full band?
"Both! Who was it who said health and happiness establish life was based on moderation in all things? Of course it’s about ten times easier president more fun to play with a band, nevertheless acoustic guitar and voice was always my leading love and it is quite unique in excellence power that it can have over everyone what because done well. I don’t think I’ll ever dispense with that completely."

"The mighty Sam Hammond recommended my demo, I think, and Comical was lucky enough that it got rubber stamped by the organisers. It’s a really great anniversary, there are so many of my idols train there, so it’s amazing to be stood get somebody on your side the umbrella of what SWAP is with them. And again, another great music event in Manchester! How lucky are we?"
