Folk and Roots Presents: Clementine Lovell Band (Matinée Show)

Presented by Folk&Roots…

Clementine Lovell

is an award winning musician with roots in both English and Irish folk. She is ‘as close as you can get to the whole package of composer, musician and singer who can both write and interpret music with a sound that is all her own’ (Folking). Described as having a magical voice that ‘resonates and shimmers’ (Americana UK), one of those voices you just can’t ignore, Clementine Lovell’s exceptional musicianship and quality of songwriting draws you in and holds you captive. Her voice has been compared to English greats the calibre of Sandy Denny and Maddy Prior. Clementine’s award winning debut album Westbound (Fatea Awards Debut Album of 2025), produced by Marion Fleetwood (Feast of Fiddles) and featuring Ric Sanders (Fairport Convention) and Robbie K. Jones (Track Dogs), is rooted in English and Irish folk and is ‘outstanding’ (Folk London Magazine), ‘spectacular’ (FATEA), ‘stunning’ (Bright Young Folk) and ‘contemporary and innovative’ (Irish Music Magazine).

Her new album Permutations is a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Gergely Nagy, who helped shape the album’s distinct soundscape by blending experimental, electronic, and traditional folk textures. The album has ‘marked her out as one of the most exciting new voices on the wider folk scene’ (Fatea Magazine) and is ‘an incredible collision of ancient and modern’ (Marc Higgins). It was awarded Celtic Music Radio Album of the Week, and was described as “a striking reimagining of traditional folk songs with a collection of old ballads taking on a new life… Clementine Lovell offers the folk tradition treated as a living and breathing thing”. Clementine will be performing at The Green Note with multi-instrumentalists Gergely Nagy (percussion, guitar), Mark Jolley (violin, bass) and adding depth to the sound StJohn Milinczuk on bass
