Dornock Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Six years ago Emily Maguire left her London home, guitar in hand and headed for the outback of Australia, looking for a change in her life at a time of an emotional struggle. She had already discovered Buddhism as a centering influence in her life and, with some encouragement of new friends and peers, began the process of recording a few of the dozens of songs that she'd written. Classically trained on piano and cello, each of her subsequent three albums has enhanced her reputation, along with a series of live shows opening for smart tunesmiths such as Glenn Tilbrook and Roddy Frame. Maguire's soft-focus folk pop is more worthy of attention than many in the female singer-songwriter field. The voice boasts the eloquent diction of old hands like Sandy Denny or Judy Collins, but there's a modern urban savvy and bite to many of her songs. Support comes from mesmerising performer and accomplished songwriter Laura James and her band The Lyres, who have recently performed with Keith Mullin lead guitarist with 90's pop group The Farm.
