Amy May Ellis

Embark on a journey to the North York Moors ? a wild and wide-open landscape full of nature and beauty, history and mysticism ? through the enveloping music of Amy May Ellis. Raised in a remote dale in the middle of the Yorkshire uplands, Amy?s warm and delicate folk-leaning DIY songs are steeped in the culture, scenery, folklore and wildlife of the countryside that surrounded and shaped her as a child, and continue to shape her understanding of the world today. Since 2018, Amy has released a series of 4 EPs, each exploring an element; Weathered by Waves, We got Fire, Where my Garden Lies, and When in the Wind have all received support from BBC 6 Music, BBC introducing, Uncut Magazine and Rough Trade. They have also fuelled headline tours around the UK and Ireland and landed Ellis a spot at Brighton?s Great Escape festival. She has guested for artists such as Michael Chapman, Alessi?s Ark, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tiny Ruins, Ryley Walker and Willy Mason. Now based in Bristol, Amy released her album 'Over Ling And Bell' on Lost Map Records in May. A fresh and youthful debut crafted in a grand folk tradition, the songs interrogate legend and turn the soil in search of meaning, healing and purpose.
