Liz Simcock has been called one of the country's finest female singer songwriters. Her songs often autobiographical and highly personal are immediately accessible to audiences and injected with poetry, emotion and splashes of humour. In 1999 she featured on the Playpen Album of New Acoustic Music alongside Eliza Carthy, Billy Bragg, Eddi Reader and Kathryn Williams. Since then she has trodden an independent path, gaining a growing reputation as a performer and songwriter. Liz counts Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson, Boo Hewerdine and Joni Mitchell amongst her songwriting influences. In 2015 and 2017 Liz toured with Clive Gregson but her main focus has always been on her own songwriting and live performances. Liz's sixth album is in the making, working title "Into The Light".
