Angie Palmer is a British singer-songwriter from Lancashire. At seventeen she left England, deciding to do a bit of travelling in Europe before taking up a place at art college. She ended up spending seven years, mainly in Paris and Geneva, busking, playing bars, clubs and small festivals. Her first CD, “A Certain Kind of Distance”, was recorded on her return to England and taken around the country’s blues and folk circuit, including two years appearing on the acoustic stage at Glastonbury. After a chance meeting in Paris, she struck up a songwriting partnership with Paul Mason (a lecturer in European philosophy from Manchester Metropolitan University) and together they wrote her next album “romantica obscura”. Her next CD, “Road”, was released in 2003 and featured songs with European influenced narratives (philosophy, literature, cinema). From Mojo to Maverick, the music press received “Road” with 4 and 5 star reviews and she was compared by many 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 be called the “British Lucinda Williams”. Her music has been championed by UK DJ Bob Harris who chose her as one of only two female singer-songwriters on his recent “Best of British” show calling her “one of the greatest British songwriters”. Her CD "Tales of Light and Darkness", like "Road", made the long-cut for the Mercury Music Prize. "Meanwhile, As Night Falls... ‎" was released in 2008. "Old Sticks To Scare A Bird" was released in 2012. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Angie+Palmer">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
