About Me

Nancy Wallace is a singer and musician hailing from Suffolk, but now firmly ensconced in east London. She sings with the Memory Band , and features on the albums "The Memory Band" and "Apron Strings". Her solo releases thus far consist of the Young Hearts ep, but she is about to remedy that by soon releasing a proper album of sorts. Her 'interpretations' of songs have been included on both volumes of Tom Middleton's Crazy Covers albums, and have apparently been played on both Countryfile and Lorraine Kelly Today. As well as Bo' Selecta (but we like to keep quiet about that one). Her tunes are enhanced no end by the amazing violin skills of Jennymay Logan of the Elysian Quartet , The Memory Band and the Basquiat Strings, and more recently Richard Lewis has added add his inimitable accordian, banjo and hurdy gurdy to a couple of tracks. Recently Nancy had joined the ranks of The Owl Service which she is enjoying very much indeed.Some nice things people have said:“A star in the English Tradition” Dazed and Confused Magazine“Utterly gorgeous” Boomkat.com“Nancy Wallace…. makes us forget how stinky and unshowered we are” Channel 4.com review of the Big ChillHer "Young Hearts" EP is available now from Spinney Records. or Rough Trade . or HMV.
