Lunchtime Concert – Emma Langford

With songs that dance playfully in that liminal space between folk, jazz and traditional Irish nuance, Emma Langford is described as “a breath of fresh air” by Ireland’s song-writing legend Phil Coulter. In style and sound she is often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake and Joan Baez; her presence and timbre however are truly unique and best experienced live. Emma’s debut album, “Quiet Giant”, produced by Grammy-nominated duo The Production Suite, was released at the end of 2017. The Irish Times described Quiet Giant as ‘music that weaves a spell as you listen to it… An enduring piece of work’. In October 2018 Emma Langford won the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Award for Best Emerging Artist.
