TERRY EMM
"Young Bedfordshire singer-songwriter-guitarist, Terry Emm's debut album 'White Butterflies', produced by Richard Durrant caused a stir when it was released in 2009. The album, with it's introspective lyrics, lush orchestral movements, layers of chiming alternately tuned guitars and mandolin's and Terry's distinctive soothing vocal, found admirers all over the world. It achieved much praise from the press who drew comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake, John Martyn and Clifford T Ward. Maverick Country magazine described the album as 'Stunning... faultless... the best singer songwriter debut in a long while' in a 5 star review, whilst Mojo praised it as an 'Outstanding debut... pastoral, romantic and lit musically by summer rays... no routine singer- songwriter offering but some-thing totally engaging in melody and lyric.' and Uncut described Terry's songwriting as 'remarkable' for a teenager. The album was also championed by many radio stations including BBC DJ's Tom Robinson and Bob Harris who Terry has recorded live sessions for on 6 Music and Radio 2. 'White Butterflies' is available here and in all good retail outlets as a limited edition digipack and as a digital download. Terry is currently recording his second album and working on a live show accompanied by a band. 'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' see's Terry at an even more personal level lyrically and joined by percussionist Vinni Lammi and again by Richard Durrant. His voice echoing fragily over their slow building epic arrangements."
