Liz Simcock

Event information

Liz Simcock's songs are often autobiographical and highly personal – immediately accessible to audiences and injected with poetry, emotion and splashes of humour. A favourite at TwickFolk, she treads an independent path and has gained a formidable reputation as a performer and songwriter.

Liz counts Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson, Boo Hewerdine and Joni Mitchell among her songwriting influences. She has made five albums. Friday Night Train Home, released in 2013, featured the virtuoso backing of Dave Ellis and Boo Howard. In 2015 and 2017 Liz toured with Clive Gregson performing songs from the Gregson & Collister back catalogue and promoting an album of brand new Gregson songs. As always, though, Liz’s main focus is on her own songwriting and live performances. 2020 brought the release of her fifth album Winter Hill, a pared down acoustic album featuring one voice, one guitar and a handful of beautifully crafted and previously unreleased songs.
