“An immersive album of depth and subtlety” - Folk Radio UK
Liz Hanks is a cellist, composer and collaborator based in Sheffield. She has worked with an impressive and varied array of high-profile artists including performing and recording with Richard Hawley, Liam Gallagher, Self Esteem, Martin Simpson, Pulp, Thea Gilmore, Cara Dillon, Jason Singh and Jasdeep Singh Degun.
Based on the local and natural history of her neighbourhood in Sheffield, Liz Hanks’ ‘Land’ album (Hudson Records) explores both the loss of nature in the urban environment and forgotten natural worlds. She discovered that the now urban area of Meersbrook was once a beautiful valley called ‘Rush Dale’. Inspired by reading written accounts of this lost valley she created ‘Land’ in remembrance of these lost times and places.
Her live show can fit within many genres including folk and alternative classical and draws on Liz’s musical influences of minimalism, Indian classical music and improvisation.
