Following the success of her recent Queensland tours, acclaimed British singer-songwriter Emily Maguire is touring northern NSW in November-December 2022 including a date at Coramba Community Hall.

 A contemporary folk artist whose songs have been described as ‘music for the soul’ (Maverick Magazine), Emily has released six albums and toured the UK extensively with American legends Don McLean, Dr Hook and Eric Bibb.

With a remarkable, inspiring story to tell, she has been featured many times in playlists and interviews on BBC national radio.  Her songs have been used in Hollywood films and for a worldwide Greenpeace climate change campaign.

Emily first came to Australia from London in 2003 for a 3 week holiday and ended up living with music producer Christian Dunham in a shack made from wood, tin and potato sacks on a goat farm in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.  They set up their own record label to release Emily’s debut album ‘Stranger Place’ which they financed by making and selling goats cheese on the farm.

The title track of Emily’s second album ‘Keep Walking’ was playlisted on ABC Radio across Australia and in 2007 she was plucked from obscurity by Don McLean and found herself onstage at some of the biggest concert halls in the UK including the Royal Albert Hall.  Tours with other acts followed including 70 theatre shows with Dr Hook.

In 2019, after 12 years away in the UK, Emily and Christian finally returned to the family farm in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.  They are currently working on Emily’s seventh album, due for release in February 2023.

Acclaimed as ‘a talent to be reckoned with’ (RnR Magazine), Emily is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet with four books to her name.  She is also an award-winning mental health advocate and a patron of the UK mental health charity Restore.  Her own experience of mental health recovery has strongly influenced her songwriting.

With strong, thought-provoking lyrics, a hauntingly beautiful voice and songs ‘bathed in raw, emotional power’ (Guitarist Magazine), Emily’s live show, featuring her husband Christian Dunham on bass, is an intensely melodic and moving experience not to be missed.
