1) Lucy Ward (born 12 December 1989) is a British singer, guitarist and concertina player from Derby. With a voice described as expressive and powerful, she performs traditional English folk songs as well as her own material. Her debut album, Adelphi Has to Fly (Navigator Records), was released on 13 June 2011 to critical acclaim. In the BBC Folk Awards 2012 she won the 'Best Newcomer' category.
Lucy started out modestly at a local folk club aged just 14, and now she is playing at folk clubs and festivals all over the country, including the esteemed Nettle bed Folk Club, Priddy, Big Session and Shrewsbury Festivals and Glastonbury.
Ward plays guitar and concertina; however she considers her voice to be her first instrument. She has the ability to still an audience with the strength and purity of her voice, which she uses to great effect on the unaccompanied songs that sprinkle her set. She has a talent for taking songs and investing them with passion and feeling in order to bring about refreshed appreciation from her audiences.
After finishing her A-levels, Ward devoted all her time to the music she loves. This passion and commitment resulted in gigs supporting various folk luminaries such as Dave Swarbrick, Tams and Coope, Mawkin:Causley, Jim Moray and Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. She was also given the opportunity of supporting Seth Lakeman, where she gave a fantastic performance to a 600 strong audience.
Her sets are an eclectic mixture of traditional and contemporary folk interpretations; interspersed with her own (some award winning) songs. There is such a natural and easy sound to her music that is brought to life by her breath taking delivery, that Lucy really is a treat not to be missed.
She has developed into a fine song writer and a consummate performer who wows her audience with her genuine and sparkling personality and her stunning voice.
BBC Folk Awards 2012 Winner - Horizon Award - Best Newcomer.

That's so nice, she is my great Aunt. My Grandfather was Harold Grace, I was Born in little Eaton and always thought her nature was always in our blood. Very beautiful song. Thank you.

Victorian England was not a nice place if you weren’t rich.
