Manchester, United Kingdom (2006 – present)

Nancy Elizabeth (Cunliffe) is a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist from Manchester, United Kingdom who mixes folk and post-rock influences to make her enchanting and dynamic music. Her first album Battle and Victory was released on the Leaf label in 2007. It was all recorded in a 17th century cottage in rural Wales and a village hall on the outskirts of Manchester and features guitars, harp, dulcimers and harmonium amongst other instruments - and all alongside her unique voice and harmonies.

Her debut EP The Wheel Turning King was released under her full name Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe in 2006 on Timbreland. It was all recorded in an old Corinthian style church over two all night sessions taking influences from sources as diverse as European gypsy songs, choral a cappella and North African music as well as more traditional British forms. During 2006 and 2007 her many gigs included supports for James Yorkston, Tunng, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Marissa Nadler, Espers, The Memory Band and Josephine Foster.

Her second full-length album Wrought Iron was released October 2009.

Try kaki king's "until we felt red" album. Somewhat similar atmosphere and moods. however she's a completely different artist. You can also try amiina from iceland. However they're playing a completely different style, instruments and genre. But the music gives you the same beautiful atmosphere i think you can also find in Nancy's songs.

Does anybody know any REALLY similar artist? I love her fusion of traditional folk with world music instruments and themes. Something like The Decemberists. And I want more! But almost all similar artist of Nancy has nothing to do with her specific style.
