Mandy Connell

Nu Folk, the kids are callin' it these days...Big voice, topical lyrics, the odd love tune and a whole lotta folk and americana influences. From mando's to Banjo's and some old fashioned Joni style finger picking, Mandy's won the Declan Affley award at the National Folk Festival, the Maldon Minstrel Award at the Maldon Folk Festival, and toured around in Australia and the UK. Originally from Australia, Mandy's graced the stage with James Fagan and Nancy Kerr, Tonchi McIntosh and Martin Pearson.
