At seventeen Angie left England for Europe to follow in the footsteps of folk troubadours like Dylan, ending up in Paris for seven years busking a living playing bars, cinema queues and the Metro. A twist of fate led her to meet her writing partner, Paul Mason, a philosopher from Manchester Metropolitan University in a Cafe Philosophique and together they returned to England.

Back in the U.K. Angie's third CD Road gained 4 and 5 star reviews and earned her comparisons with Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell thanks to lyrics described by reviewers as “intelligent” and “literate”. For others her potent mix of country, blues, and folk served up with equal measures of aggression and tenderness has led her to called the “British Lucinda Williams”. Road made it on to the long short list for the Mercury Prize in 2004 and Angie's music is being championed by Bob Harris amongst others and has featured on film soundtracks in both England and France.

Her last CD Tales of Light and Darkness (which also made the long-cut for the Mercury Music Prize 2006) continued where Road left off, mixing strong narrative songs with smaller, more personal reflections. HMV Choice said “Not since Bob Dylan's mid-60's output has a singer jammed songs with so many high-culture reference points”.

The new CD, "Meanwhile, as night falls . . ." is out now. Available at all good record stores and online CD outlets via Proper Distribution.
On Meanwhile Angie is again backed by her band ‘The Revelators' and also by B.J. Cole on pedal steel. Expect strange takes on old fairy tales (Hunting the Wolf), Russian folk stories (The Fiery Lake), Biblical parables (Hey Lazarus!) and French pirates (Ile d'Yeu) and an 81/2 minute song about the eternally hopeless lives of the strange inhabitants of a mysterious forest! (Weeping Wood). Oh! and there's some love songs too!
