“Exquisite”  UNCUT  “A true artist” RnR MAGAZINE

Singer-songwriter, poet, composer, multi-instrumentalist and mental health advocate, Emily’s five albums and three books have established her as truly a talent to be reckoned with. With a remarkable, inspiring story to tell, she has been featured many times on Radio 2 and Radio 4, her heartfelt, thought-provoking lyrics, supremely expressive vocals and spellbinding live performances winning her fans across the globe.

Described as ‘exhilarating and transformational’ (RnR Magazine), Emily’s songs have the power to uplift, comfort and inspire in equal measure. To celebrate the publication of her third book ‘Meditation Mind’, a collection of poems inspired by her Buddhist practice, Emily is performing some very intimate gigs in bookshops and Buddhist centres across the country. These gigs will be a mix of poetry readings and acoustic songs on guitar accompanied by her husband Christian Dunham on double-bass. There will be a short Q&A following the performance. Ahead of the event, you can take a listen to Emily reading her poem, ‘Walking on Air’, here.

Emily has been a student of Lama Jampa Thaye, the spiritual director of Dechen, for many years. Proceeds from this gig will go towards supporting the work of the Sakya Buddhist Centre.

Tickets (priced at £6 plus booking fee) are available through Emily’s website at www.emilymaguire.com.
