As part of the three-day St Davids Boia Festival (October 27 to 29) Jodie Marie will play an exclusive ‘unplugged’ set on the baby grand piano in the Oriel Lounge at Twr y Felin Hotel

Jodie Marie from Narberth, was signed to Decca Records/Universal Music in 2010 and began writing songs with former Suede guitarist and producer Bernard Butler and singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt.

The Guardian described her debut album, Mountain Echo (2011 – Verve), as ‘velvety and bittersweet’ and received much critical acclaim. The Independent described her sound as ‘having a light-blues and jazz-folk-edge recalling late-1960s singer-songwriters such as Carole King’ on her second album, Trouble in Mind (2015).

Her third album, The Answer (2021), features the singles, ‘Carageen’, ‘This House’, and ’Ain’t No Doubt About It’, which has had A-list support from BBC Wales. Welsh Connections has described it as ‘a contemporary masterpiece’.

Her latest release, ‘Polar Night’ (May 2023 – Carmel Records – Caru Music Ltd), was inspired by her time spent just over three weeks above the Arctic Circle in January 2023, isolated in a cabin on a remote island, surrounded by the beautiful landscape, extreme weather conditions and stories of the indigenous Sámi people.

Jodie Marie will play an exclusive ‘unplugged’ set on Sunday, October 29.
