Laura Marling brings folk to Birmingham Cathedral
Friday 28th October 2011, 7:00AM BST.
At just 21, folk star Laura Marling is already three albums down and winning the hearts of critics everywhere. She plays Birmingham Cathedral tomorrow (Saturday, October 29, 2011).
Last month, the young darling of British folk-rock released her third album, A Creature I Don’t Know, to yet more praise for her stunning vocals and prettily-knitted lyrics.
As well as collaborating with the likes of Jamie T and Mystery Jets, with whom she released the wonderful Young Love, she has dated both Marcus Mumford and Noah and the Whale’s Charlie Fink.
Marling grew up in Hampshire and says she was always drawn to music and writing.
“I was looking for some form of expression,” she says. “I was thinking about it recently, and I think one of the reasons I was a bit of a recluse when I was younger is because what defined me when I was a teenager was my taste in music.”
She comes to Birmingham Cathedral tomorrow to play a matinee and an evening show – both of which are sold out.
