Rianne Downey

Although primarily known for her unique interpretations of classic New Wave, Punk, Pop and other oddities, you rarely get exactly what you expect from Amelia - unless you expect the unexpected. She's constantly searching out "new" material to spin into her own fine web. She is also developing her original songwriting skills with idiosyncratic, beguiling songs about, for instance, Pirates, Sleep Paralysis and Leprechaun Museum staff. As a live performer she engages musically, visually and through her between-song anecdotes and it's not uncommon to see grown people shed a tear or two while watching her as they fall in love with her unassuming, natural charms and that voice! A curious, unique blend of folk, jazz, musical theatre and northern punk it can hypnotise with a single note then spit in your eye. Catch her where and when you can.
