Bella Hardy is an English contemporary folk musician, singer and songwriter, who performs a combination of traditional and self-penned material. She was named Folk Singer of the Year at BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2014, having won the award for Best Original Song in 2012. With the ability to conjure and twist stories that call straight to the heart, her themes of displacement and home, lost and found love, heartache and joy, are delivered with her unique, disarming honesty. Bella has become a regular on radio and television, notably singing solo in a sold-out Albert Hall at the Proms in London.
