 Louise Golbey

Louise Golbey is a gifted singer, songwriter and musician based in North London. While she may be small, her sound is anything but. Finalist in the Indy Music Awards 2008, Louise has supported artists such as Basement Jaxx's Vula, Omar and Kele le Roc. Her sound is a contemporary take on soul with a twist of jazz, and her unique voice and original melodies will have you captivated from the first note.

Louise is a regular on London's live music circuit and has released a number of singles independently, most recently The Sea and Me, in May of this year. After teaming up with Mercury Music Prize nominated producer, Drew Horley (TY, Natalie Williams, Estelle, De La Soul), Louise uploaded her music to BBC Introducing and her track Same Old Same Old attracted the attention of 1Xtra's Ras Kwame and 6 Music's Tom Robinson almost immediately.

      I'm so going to see her. There seems to be a great line up on the BBC Introducing stage this year and Louise Golbey has to be the icing on the cake!

      Seen her perform a bit before around London - she's amazing. And I love this track!

      I randomly met Louise the other night, on my way home from work and we got chatting. I had overheard her talking on her phone telling her brother about how excited she was to be playing on the stage at Glasto.

      As I am going (in 6 hours time!!! whoo whoo) I asked her where she is playing and said all being well, I will come and see her.

      Louise was absolutely lovely, gave me her details and when I got home I listen to her myspace page. I was so impressed. Her voice is great and her lyrics are moving. I will definitely go and see her and drag all my mates along too. I would recommend anyone who gets the opportunity comes and joins me. Approx 5-5.30pm on Friday, on the BBC Introducting Stage.
