    Biography

    Georgia Ruth is a songwriter and musician from Aberystwyth in West Wales, whose debut album – Week of Pines – won the Welsh Music Prize in 2013 and was nominated for two BBC Folk Awards. She duetted with the Manic Street Preachers on their track Divine Youth - recently described by The Guardian’s Alexis Petridis as an “echo-swathed but tender meditation on ageing” in a list of his 30 all-time best Manics tracks. Since then, she has released two more albums – Fossil Scale (2016) – “a deeply intelligent return” (CLASH) - and Mai (2020). Mai’s first album’s first single (‘Close for Comfort’) had support from 6Music and plays by Huw Stephens, Cerys Matthews, Lauren Laverne and Mary Anne Hobbs, amongst others. Tracks were featured on BBC Radio 3’s Night Tracks, and it was one of Tim Burgess’ Twitter Listening Party albums. A subsequent EP of remixes – Mai:2 – featured a stunning reworking of ‘Terracotta’ by Gwenno, which had support from Sian Eleri on BBC Radio1 and Cerys Matthews on 6Music. Georgia's latest EP, Kingfisher, saw the track 25 Minutes getting playlisted on BBC 6music. “One of the British folk discoveries of the year” – The Guardian
