Ruth Notman

About

Ruth Notman is a folk singer/songwriter from Nottingham who is, most notably, known for
being one of the leading ‘nu-folk revivalists’ in the late 00’s who bridged folk music into the
21st Century and plugged it into a mainstream audience.
Ruth first rocketed into the consciousness of the wider music scene in 2007, at 18 years old,
with her debut album ‘Threads’.
Notman’s unique voice coupled with her novel and vibrant interpretation of folk songs
garnered her overnight national critical acclaim and media attention seldom seen by a small
independent release. ‘Threads’ also gained Notman support from luminaries such as BBC
Radio 2’s Bob Harris, Kate Rusby and Mike Harding to name a few.
Ruth further cemented her musical stature and identity with extensive touring and the
release of her second album, ‘The Life of Lilly’ (2009), which enjoyed similar accolades to
her debut.
In 2015, Notman was invited to join the impressive collaborative artist roster of the ‘Evamore’
project where her studio contributions and stunning vocal compositions attracted the late
Sinead O’Connor. The song ‘One More Yard’ was released in 2019 and featured Ronnie
Wood, Nick Mason and Imelda May.
Notman teamed up with BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning artist Sam Kelly in 2019 to record
their album ‘Changeable Heart’ with Kate Rusby’s label, Pure Records.
Now, 16 years after her second album, Ruth is preparing to record, what must surely be, the
most eagerly awaited album in British folk music.
