Annabel Allum

At her most visceral, Annabel is a troubadour for the millennial age, with vitriolic explosions of ferociously grungy guitar and gut-wrenching honesty, deftly attuned to observations of what lies beyond her Lennon-framed lenses. When contemplative, Annabel is an astute poet; praised as much for her words, as for her imagination and sensitivity - a DIY artist in the truest sense. Long marked out as one to watch, the swell of praise for Annabel Allum from all corners is resounding. Long-time championed by BBC Radio 1, she’s made the daytime playlist, had a live session at the iconic Maida Vale studios as well as performing on their SXSW stage, a festival which she’s now taken by storm twice. Other notable shows include a dream-come-true emotional performance at Reading festival, as well as The Great Escape; tours with Nadine Shah, Sleeper and Beth Ditto have been the perfect way to cut her teeth in the presence of esteemed artists. reviews ★★★★★ "A real DIY artist" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1 "One of the UKs leading singer-songwriters" - The Fader "Beautiful and edgy at the same time" - NME "a strong talent for songwriting" - The Independent "Skewing indie on its head" - BBC Radio 6 Music “Courtney Barnett on a Kill Bill style vengeance mission” - DIY "Raucous and bold" - Wonderland Magazine "Formidable, Ferocious, Fantastic!" - Gordon Smart, XFm "Retro rock from a fierce female" - EARMILK "Dripping with sarcasm and bite" - The Line Of Best Fit "Effortlessly cool." - John Kennedy, XFm "A songwriter more than worthy of your attention." - CLASH Magazine
