Bido Lito!

Ireland has long been a fount of great female singers, but Heidi Talbot's breakthrough solo release, 2008’s In Love + Light, swiftly assured her promotion to the premier league. Its artfully chosen mix of traditional and contemporary material, reinvented classics and little-known gems, and above all Heidi's achingly bittersweet, spun-gold voice, won glowing reviews across three continents, a US Indie Acoustic Award and a Best Female Vocalist nomination in the Irish Music Awards. With critics mooting comparisons as diverse as Björk, Enya, Linda Ronstadt, Norah Jones and Kirsty MacColl, the album received widespread radio airplay and has been followed by two years’ solid gigging, both as headline act and sought-after special guest.

Marking Heidi's debut foray into songwriting, her hotly anticipated follow up albumThe Last Star sees her engaging afresh with her traditional roots, while seeking out rarely- or never-recorded contemporary material. It simultaneously reaffirms all the expressive and interpretative magic of its predecessor, and extends it in arresting new directions – the sound of an artist who’s constantly seeking alternative ways to inhabit a song.
