In the words of Bob Fish, Lady Nade’s “Willing, is a pretty special album, one from a woman in Bristol who sings beautifully and has a band that understands exactly what she needs and is able to give it to her despite recording in isolation from locations across the UK.” He later concludes: “In the face of overwhelming odds sometimes you just have to take a chance. Which is exactly what Lady Nade has done with Willing. Writing and recording in isolation she took the chance that her band would accept the challenge of delivering the goods on their own and that the finished product would be worth the inconveniences. Needless to say, she was right.”
Having opened for Spiers and Boden on their extensive Fallow Ground Tour, the New Year brings a new tour as her album, which has charted in the Official Americana and Folk Charts, continues to garner new fans across the media and BBC, where she has received airplay from BBC Radio 2 Mark Radcliffe Folk Show, BBC Radio 6 Cerys Matthews, Ralph McLean, Northern Ireland & BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Wiltshire and Bristol.
Lady Nade started writing poems and songs as a form of healing from grief, learning that loss and grief isn’t something one can recover from alone and with her music and recipes, she creates a communal experience that everyone can enter into on their own terms, performing in venues across her native city of Bristol, her work developed into a calling to connect with her fans on a deeper level and help lead them through life’s complicated tapestry with the healing power of music. She pours creativity into every song, often lavishing them with a recipe to match.
There’s never a dull moment with this woman:
Not surprisingly, her performances are described as something akin to a reunion. Share a room with her, and she’ll give you her story. All of it. The joys and sorrows. You will love her for it, and she will love you back. This is a tour you won’t want to miss.
