Great song and stellar vocals. Love the horns!

This is spectacularly superb. I love how your voice skims over all those syllables and internal rhymes in the verses. Really brilliant.

The Only Thing To Do

"Waiting for the Sun" is a heartfelt love song that explores the quiet longing and deep patience of loving someone who struggles to express affection openly. Through tender lyrics and soulful melodies, the song conveys a powerful message of understanding and hope — acknowledging the emotional distance while believing in the potential for love to flourish. It’s a gentle reminder that love often requires patience and faith, and that even in moments of silence and unspoken words, true connection endures. Perfect for anyone navigating the complexities of love, this song offers comfort, optimism, and the reassurance that love’s light can shine through the patience and trust we hold onto.

An Afternoon In Winter

Cali - Mahogany Sessions

Bella Hardy, the inimitable voice of modern folk, established her reputation as a songwriter when her first original composition Three Black Feathers earned a BBC Folk Award nomination in 2008.

Bella has since become a regular on radio and television, notably singing solo in a sold-out Albert Hall at the Proms. She’s written and recorded with everyone from Beautiful South founder David Rotheray to folk luminary Eliza Carthy, and performed with the great Mary Chapin Carpenter on her UK tours. She learnt the songs of Chinese farmers during her time as British Council Musician in Residence in Yunnan Province, spent a year in Tennessee as a ranch hand,  and sat on the moors of her beloved Peak District with only her fiddle for company. 

With the ability to conjure and twist stories that call straight to the heart, her themes of displacement and home, lost and found love, heartache and joy, are delivered with her unique, disarming honesty, and the acclaimed crystalline voice that won her BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year 2014.

“Brit folk's finest” – Mojo 
“A fine, no-nonsense interpreter of traditional music and an excellent songwriter” - The Guardian
“Few are as adventurous and intriguing” – Songlines 
“Stunning… there is an aura of sophistication that will win over listeners who never set foot in a folk club” - The Sunday Times
