About Billie Marten
Billie Marten, born Isabella Sophie Tweddle, first captivated audiences as a teenager, emerging from Ripon with a remarkably mature sound that belied her age. Her debut album, Written in Gold, released in 2016, instantly established her as a formidable talent in the contemporary folk landscape. Critics lauded her for her whisper-soft vocals, intricate acoustic guitar work, and introspective songwriting that explored themes of nature, human connection, and the quiet moments of life.
Since then, Marten has continued to evolve, releasing acclaimed albums such as Feeding Seahorses By Hand (2019) and Flora Fauna (2021), each showcasing a subtle expansion of her sonic palette while retaining her core essence. Her latest work often incorporates more atmospheric textures and a hint of indie-pop sensibility, demonstrating her growth as an artist unafraid to experiment. Despite these developments, her live performances remain rooted in the raw intimacy of her early work, often featuring just her and a small, complementary ensemble – typically a bass player and drummer – allowing her delicate narratives to shine through. Expect a selection of fan favourites like “Coda,” “Bird,” and “La Lune,” alongside newer material that continues to push her artistic boundaries.
