Lesley Curtis

Lesley sang at her first folk club in Cyprus when she was
15 and her father was serving there in the RAF.
She became part of a travelling folk group, including an exciting performance at the Curium Amphitheatre Folk Festival alongside The McCalman’s, Isla St Clair and Mike Harding.

She then spent a number of years learning her craft working in a variety of genres and bands touring Europe and the UK. The pinnacle for her was in 2000 when she was asked to perform the music of Eva Cassidy in theatres in the UK & Ireland.

At the same time, she began songwriting and felt she had found her true vocation. She never looked back and since then has written and recorded five mainstream country/folk albums and two based on esoteric themes.

In common with many singers, she has a diverse taste in music but was influenced in her younger years by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchel, traditional tunes and gospel singers such as Mahalia Jackson. These influences grew to include Cara Dillon, Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, Trisha Yearwood and bands like Heart, Fleetwood Mac and the Dixie Chicks.
