The 10 self-penned tracks are delivered with a maturity and depth that belie the fact that this is her first full length release. At times tender, at times carrying a darker edge, the stories she weaves are transporting. Not surprising then that Nick Drake, John Martyn, Tunng and Scott Matthews are amongst her many influences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded over a 2-year period at Rebellious Jukebox studios, a little basement studio hidden beneath inner-city Birmingham and presided over by masterful producer Simon Weaver. The ensemble cast of musicians, including a sweeping string section, occasionally cut through by raw electric guitar and drums, as well as Richard March (Pop Will Eat Itself) on double bass and Mikey Kenny on fiddle, enhance Priddy’s command of melody and lyricism and provide the perfect backdrop for the feelings of nostalgia and timelessness that underpin the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the songs were written during Priddy’s teenage years and early twenties and reference themes of childhood and distant memories. The charming bird song that begins the first track “Indigo” and closes the final track “The Summer Has Flown” harks back to the soundtrack to her own childhood, when days began and ended with the sound of a blackbird in the tree outside her window. In the same way, it now bookends this chapter of Priddy’s life and music career. The title “The Eternal Rocks Beneath” reflects this is Priddy’s first album; the culmination of her earlier life experiences and the bedrock for whatever follows next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Best Thing I’ve Heard All Year’ – Richard Thompson (MOJO)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSINGLES\u003cbr\u003eThree singles (‘Indigo,’ ‘Eurydice’ and ‘Icarus’ from the album released digitally prior to album release.\u003cbr\u003e‘Indigo’ added to the Fresh Folk playlist on Spotify (653k likes), Contemporary Folk playlist (156k likes).\u003cbr\u003e‘Indigo’ supported by Youtube influencer, Isabel Paige (454k followers) and included in her vlog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVIDEOS\u003cbr\u003eIndigo : https:\/\/youtu.be\/PSzZ30HN0kU\u003cbr\u003eEurydice : https:\/\/youtu.be\/jJW3bjff02I\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Indigo \/ Wolf \/ About Rosie \/ Icarus \/ Eurydice \/ Letters From A Travelling Man \/ The Spring Never Came \/ Ring O’roses \/ The Isle Of Eigg \/ The Summer Has Flown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRADIO\u003cbr\u003eSubstantial radio play and support, nationally and regionally, including BBC 6 Music (Radcliffe \u0026amp; Maconie, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq), BBC Radio Wales (Janice Long), BBC Radio 2 Folk Show (Mark Radcliffe), BBC Radio Wales Folk Show (Frank Hennessey), BBC Sound (Jon Wright), BBC Radio Shropshire (Andrew Marston\/Genevieve Tudor), BBC Radio Ulster (Eve Blair) and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBBC Radio 2 Folk Show interview with Mark Radcliffe confirmed for June 30th. \u003cbr\u003eBBC Radio Wales Janie Long session confirmed.\u003cbr\u003eLots more interviews, plays and sessions to be confirmed closer to release date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRESS\u003cbr\u003e- 600 word feature in next issue of RNR magazine confirmed.\u003cbr\u003e-Album serviced to all major music magazines, newspaper music columns and online press\/blogs.
