Lizzie Nunnery is a 25 year old singer songwriter. Following the self release of her EP, "Monkeys and Devils" in 2006 she has played a host of venues around the UK including supporting J.D Souther, Little Feat, Jim Moray and Tobias Froberg. She has made several appearances on BBC Radio, including a live performance on BBC Radio 3. She was the BBC Liverpool unsigned artist of the month for November 2006 and is also an award winning playwright, with her most recent stage play, "Intemperance" receiving a 5 star review in the Guardian. She is currently under commission to BBC Radio 4 to write a play with songs entitled, "The Singer". Her eagerly anticipated second EP, "Hungry" was released in March, 2008.
"It is Lizzie's enchanting voice that really draws you in to her sublime world; a fragile tremolo that makes you want to sit close and listen to her stories...It is the title track that impresses the most, with a catchy refrain and dark, menacing accompaniment. This track could well be one of the best songs you'll hear all year."
Mike Wilson, Folking.com on "Hungry EP"
"Lizzie Nunnery produces delicate acoustic music, using beautiful guitar lines to accompany her emotive vocals..."
BBC artist of the month
"It's the sort of voice that can carry songs all by itself, it's strong, it's perfectly pitched, it's acrobatic. Lizzie's the complete package..."
John Mcgovern
"Hugely impressive lyrics and delicate acoustic backing... the whole production and feel of the disc is much more than you'd expect from a debut release. She's certainly a real talent, and one to watch for the future..."
Fish Records
It’s a performance that begins to reveal some of the best songs of the evening, as well as some innovative arrangements. Lizzie interlaces her solid strums with sublime, picked passages, mixing in her vocals which sit somewhere not too far away from Kate Bush. She’s onto a winner when the Ukulele is whipped out to summon up a superbly minimalistic turn. “Moving With The Moon” is perhaps one of her classiest songs as it proves all these points admirably and confidently.
