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 00s 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, followed by her second album, The Life of Lilly (2009), which enjoyed similar accolades to her debut. 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.
