ABOUT OUR MUSICAL GUEST
Mary says:
"My name is Mary Olwyn Foxley and I'm a classically trained singer who finds the greatest joy and authenticity in unaccompanied traditional folk, particularly folk that highlights the female experience. Using only the voice allows a freedom and depth of storytelling and a focus on story that I find compelling. I am a mother of two and a domestic abuse survivor. You can find my debut EP "Voices" by Mary Foxley on Spotify and you can find me on Twitter @maryfoxley and DM me there for any enquiries."
