DESCRIBED by BBC Radio 2 presenter Mark Radcliffe as “the Stevie Nicks of Folk”, singer-songwriter Alex Hart will be performing with her band at the Acorn Theatre, Penzance, on Sunday, March 22.

Since the release of her latest album ‘Visions’, Alex has teamed up with Adam Sweet (guitarist), Paddy Blight (bass) and Joe Harris (drums) to bring her songs to life, while adding a phenomenal addition to the live sound.

At 18, Alex was noticed by producer Neil Stainton who honed her talent, worked with her during her early career and co-wrote and recorded her debut album ‘On This Day’.

Alex also worked closely with musician and songwriter Barney Dine, with whom she co-wrote many songs from this album, songs afterwards and gigged extensively. During this time, she was able to grow as a musician and perfect her craft.

From this, she collaborated with electronic duo Electronic Youth on a cover of Angie Stones’ “I Wish I Didn’t Miss You” which had huge global radio success reaching No.2 in the Music Week Dance Charts and was supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.

This recognition spearheaded a run of high-profile festivals performances and a slot opening for UK folk sensation Turin Brakes at the Lyme Regis Folk festival.

After landed her two record deals, Alex started working with Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Terry Britten (famous for “What’s Love Got To Do With It” for Tina Turner) and went on to release the single ‘Life Saver’.

Following the success of Alex’s debut album, her voice and musicianship caught the eye of legendary Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, who asked Alex to be a part of his band as a musician and vocalist for their European and international tour dates.

Alex has also collaborated and performed alongside the critically acclaimed folk singer Seth Lakeman. Her voice, as well her multi-instrumental playing, features heavily on his brand new album.
