AWARD winning singer-songwriter Emily Barker will be playing at More Music’s Hothouse in Morecambe on Saturday, performing in a new duo with Gill Sandell.

Emily Barker is the BAFTA award-winning writer of the theme to BBC TV crime drama Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh. She also wrote the atmospheric theme to Hugo Blick’s cult noir thriller The Shadow Line (the series won an Ivor Novello for best soundtrack in 2011). She has won praise from the Guardian for her ‘gift for great melodies and Americana-influenced songs’.

After announcing a break from touring with her longtime backing band The Red Clay Halo, Emily is now busy writing songs for her next solo album.
