Beth Orton, BRIT Award-winning folk artist, will be collaborating with 13 up-and-coming female musicians during a week-long residency at Manchester’s Band on the Wall.
The latest instalment in the Wall of Sounds Artistic Directors Series takes place at the Manchester venue on 16-20 February.
Beth and her collaborators will showcase the fruits of their labours with a special event on Friday 20 February.
Commenting, Beth said: ‘I am thrilled to be asked to support and take part in this exciting and important project.
‘Getting the chance to mentor - or simply the opportunity to stand as witness to - the diverse, and possibly unheard, talents of artists from all across the UK fills me with curiosity and some apprehension! If I’m lucky I will get to share some of what has been passed along to me over the years.’
Beth is a BRIT Award-winner and two-time Mercury Prize nominee who has collaborated with Bert Jansch, Emmylou Harris, Beck, and Terry Callier among others.
The Wall of Sounds Artistic Directors Series gives emerging musicians an opportunity to experiment, collaborate and perform, encouraging new ways of working.
