IZZIE YARDLEY is returning to Green Note with her band to celebrate the release of new music.

Recorded last year with Dom Monks (Big Thief, Courtney Marie Andrews) and featuring Ethan Johns on drums and Nick Pini on bass, the results of the session led to successful applications of support from both PRS Foundation and Help Musicians.

Rooted in British songwriting traditions of the 60s/70s coffee house scene, of which John Martyn, Paul Simon and Bert Jansch were a part, Izzie’s songs tell stories woven into musically rich pieces, which nod to a childhood spent listening to classical, Jazz, Nick Drake and Kate Bush. Live, this becomes a performance that is both bold and powerfully vulnerable.

The summer was spent playing festivals including Glastonbury and Black Deer, as well as recording for artists like Freddie & The Scenarios (The Vaccines) and Sir Tom Jones.

Aphra’s music wriggles into your ear canals like the smell of an elder sister’s cooking into your nasal cavity.
Notes of young adult confusion and lust are mixed in equal measure with determined hope and resilient sunniness, swirling through your lobes like sangria.
