CLEMENTINE LOVELL

​Clementine Lovell is an award winning singer and accordion player with roots in both English and Irish folk. She takes traditional songs and reworks them, as well as writing her own, engaging the audience with stories of ordinary people, and the struggles, joys and emotions that connect us and make us human.

​

"...several things strike me about her as a performer. The first is an incredible voice ...the second is the quality of her song writing. She can take an idea and turn it into something both wonderful and remarkable. She can take a simple concept and make it magical." FATEA Magazine

​

Described as having a magical voice that ‘resonates and shimmers’ (Americana UK), Clementine’s exceptional musicianship and quality of songwriting draws you in and holds you captive. Her voice has been compared to English greats the calibre of Sandy Denny and Maddy Prior, as well as Joan Baez and Emmy Lou Harris.

 

Clementine’s debut album Westbound, produced by Marion Fleetwood (Feast of Fiddles) has been awarded FATEA Debut Album of 2025 and is ‘outstanding’ (Folk London Magazine), ‘spectacular’ (FATEA), ‘stunning’ (Bright Young Folk) and ‘contemporary and innovative’ (Irish Music Magazine).

 

She regularly performs with the Clementine Lovell Trio: Carmen Ruiz Vicente (Savannah Gardner) on percussion and Duncan Menzies (Copper Viper, Club Debris, Perkelt) on fiddle. She has also collaborated with James Keay (Sam Lee), Robbie K Jones (Track Dogs), Vo Fletcher, PJ Wright (TRADArr), Tom Leary (Lindisfarne), and Ric Sanders (Fairport Convention).​​
