BBC Radio 6 Music - Marc Riley, Emmy The Great

Emmy The Great returns for what will be a right royal session... take your places.

Emmy The Great returns for what will be a right royal session - take your places for an audience.

It has been a few years since we've had the beautiful tones of Emmy the Great in session, but our ears can rejoice once again this evening.

It has been one heck of a journey for Emma-Lee Moss, AKA Emmy The Great, since she was last in the studio with us. There was the release of her first album First Love on Close Harbour Records, which helped gain her much attention and the honour of being in the New York Times top 10 albums of 2009. There have been collaborations with Ash, Fatboy Slim/ Brighton Port Authority and Lightspeed Champion, as well as being a mentor for The Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music and writing for several music publications! 
This busy lady has also managed to record her second album, Virtue which reveals some of her personal problems with the use of fairytales and mythology. 

The promise is in her name because Emma really is great and it's blooming lovely to have you back..
