Maddie Morris and Katy Rose Bennett
Songs of queerness and disability with Maddie Morris and Katy Rose Bennett.
Maddie Morris is a bold, insightful and refreshingly unique folk musician from Leeds, who takes traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues, offering new perspectives about the world we live in today.
Katy Rose Bennett creates earthy, intimate folk music, telling stories of love, despair, connection and community.
In this one of a kind gig, the two artists will be sharing music surrounding disability, activism, queer identity and self-compassion in a relaxed accessible performance. Audiences are invited to celebrate disability, queerness, and celebration of LGBTQIA history month.
Maddie is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, she takes traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues. Folk songs have always told stories, but how Maddie makes her mark is by turning this storytelling into action. Described by Jim Moray as “leading the next generation of socially conscious songwriters”, she uses her work to highlight inequality, challenge viewpoints and provide an inclusive space for shared experiences.
Whether she’s turning a centuries-old ballad on its head or writing something new, Maddie places her focus on drawing out true meaning rather than being true to tradition. Her first studio release, Upstream, a beautifully crafted collection of songs which amplifies the stories of those often marginalised by society. Passionately political, yet gently understated, this is music that deftly treads the path between art and activism.
Katy has been creating her earthy, intimate folk music for over 20 years, telling stories of love, despair, connection and community. She empowers audiences to be emotionally open by sharing the strength in vulnerability, through the vessel of song. She has released 7 albums to critical acclaim with plays on BBC Radio 2, 3 & 6 and RTE Radio 1.
“Every time I see Katy play she knocks me over, makes me cry and lifts my soul.” (Tom Besford, English Folk Expo).
