In addition to her extensive experience playing with artists such as Bristol based Americana songstress Lady Nade and award-winning songwriter and slide guitarist Martin Harley, Holly is a gifted songwriter and solo performer. Drawing inspiration from a varied musical upbringing steeped in the likes of Gillian Welch, Paul Simon and The Manic Street Preachers, her songs weave joyously catchy melodies with lyrics that pay homage to a diverse collection of musical and personal heroes.
