Bella Hardy - Postcards & Pocketbooks: The Best Of Bella Hardy

Postcards & Pocketbooks is a double CD of her most highly treasured works, with remastered recordings of classic material and two new tracks, Tequila Moon and Sheep Crook & Black Dog. With unflinching courage, Bella has explored and blurred musical boundariesin her search for meaning. From her mastery of tradition music and thestripped back strings and concertina of her debut album Night Visiting (2007),to the electric guitar and drums in the self-penned humanist hymns andfeminist battle cries of Hey Sammy (2017), via the Derbyshire ballads of TheDark Peak & The White and ancient Chinese poetry of Eternal Spring, analbum of songs and poetry recorded in China. Her themes of displacementand home, lost and found love, heartache and joy, are delivered with herunique, disarming honesty, and, of course, the acclaimed crystalline voice that won her BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year.
