Release Notes:
At an early age Oxfordshire born Thea Gilmore developed a talent for
being very tall and writing words. Sometime in her teens she added music
into the mix, and a year or so later certain corners of the British
music press were describing her as 'one of the few world class female
singer-songwriters Britain has ever produced'.
Her debut album "Burning Dorothy" was released in 1999, and in 2003 she
hit the UK charts for the first time with her 4th album "Avalanche" and
the hit singles "Juliet" and "Mainstream". During this period she
famously refused to sign to major record labels, refused to work with a
famous dance remix team and refused to say she was sleeping with a soap
star in order to gain tabloid exposure. She was told by two A&R men that
she had 'missed her moment'.
She has toured extensively throughout the US and Canada, returned to the
charts in 2006 with her "Harpo's Ghost" album and subsequently in 2010
with "Murphys Heart". Her successful singles include "You're The Radio"
"Teach Me To Be Bad" and "That'll Be Christmas", the last of these
receiving the most airplay of any new seasonal record of the last five
years. She has collaborated onstage or in the studio with Mike Scott and
The Waterboys, Martha Wainwright, Sting, The Cowboy Junkies, Joan As
Policewoman, Eliza Carthy to name just a few.
Her razor sharp lyrics, melodic flair and honey toned voice have been
admired by wide ranging contemporaries from Bruce Springsteen, Joan
Baez, Richard Thompson, Neil Gaiman, David Baddeil and William Boyd. Sid
Griffin hates her.
In 2012 "Don't Stop Singing" her new musical settings of the late Sandy
Denny's unfinished works received great acclaim, and included the single
"London" which was used extensively in the BBC TV coverage of the
Olympic Games.
She is about to release her 14th album at the age of 33, and is still
tall. Meanwhile at least one of the A&R men was last seen cooking
school dinners.
