We say

Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo's forthcoming third album Almanac is self-released and self-financed through funding from a Pledgemusic campaign and through support from their fanbase (details on this blog). Barker comes out of a healthy alt-folk scene, delivering timeless and poetic lyrics with flair. She first popped on our radar when previous track Nostalgia was used as the theme tune to BBC series Wallander – which helped Emily pick up a Royal Television Award for Best Original Score. Radio support for their first single Little Deaths came from 6Music's Nemone, who made it her Single of the Week and plays from Tom Robinson, Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq on Radio 2. Last weekend they performed this, the second single, on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends programme. A session with 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews is scheduled for the day before the album's release and a UK tour. The band are available for management, and a booking agent. International licensing rights on the album are available, as are publishing rights.

London gig: February 24, St Giles-in-the-Fields Church WC2
