FOLK In Veryan Presents Emily Slade Emily Slade is one of Britain’s foremost fingerstyle guitarists. Emily took up the acoustic guitar at the age of nine, making her stage debut that same year. At eighteen, Emily studied English and Education at Cambridge University. During her final year she launched her record label ‘Rustic Thorn Records’ to release a limited edition EP called ‘Small Talk’. Her debut album, ‘Shire Boy’, followed, gaining a BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award nomination for best newcomer. Emily took to the road, promoting the album by travelling internationally, carving out a staggering reputation amongst fellow musicians and support at grassroots level from the audiences at her concerts. She has since worked and recorded with some of the British Folk scene most loved and admired artisits, including Ashley Hutchings, Phil Beer, Edwina Hayes, Diz Disley, Pete Morton, Roger Wilson, Simon Care and Kellie While. The partnership between her intricate guitar playing and enchanting vocals are rarely found in one person, making Emily an enthralling performer.
