Elaine Palmer

Elaine Palmer hails from Danby, a sleepy village on the North Yorkshire Moors, a stone�s throw away from the idyllic fishing town of Whitby.

Growing up Elaine was continually surrounded by music and at school she learnt the recorder and piano. Her talent was evident even at an early age and by her early teens the school Orchestra were playing original Elaine Palmer compositions!

Whilst studying at Manchester Metropolitan University Elaine�s hobby turned into her passion and she continued to return north to play live, finely honing her guitar playing and building up a strong fan base.

After securing the services of a manager Elaine made regular trips to London and shared the stage with the likes of David Paggo (Papa M) and Tom McRae. She also embarked on a six week residency in New York�s trendy Greenwich Village and ended the year touring with Ben & Jason.

The next couple of years saw Elaine step up her game � playing a hectic schedule of UK dates supporting Joseph Arthur, Neil Halstead and Thea Gilmore. Such was her talent that her appeal stretched from the folk world to the young alternative scene.

After seeing her play live Inspiral Carpets� Clint Boon invited Elaine to record some demos at his home studio. The culmination of this would turn out to be the recording of her first album �Into The Spotlight� released on Clint�s new label � Booney Tunes.

Since the release of the album Elaine has gone on to play with a host of successful artists including James Blunt, Bonny Prince Billy, King Creosote and Adem. Elaine also enjoyed a rapturous reception at The Greenman and The Wickerman festivals, which were a highlight of her year.

�Playing on the main stage at The Wickerman Festival on a beautiful sunny summers day to a field full of chilled out fans all laying on the grass as far as my eye could see. It was amazing!�

Elaine�s success continued apace and her fan base significantly increased after receiving airplay on Radio 2 as well as numerous regional stations.

So, on to 2006 and, after touring extensively and fine-tuning her powerful live performance, Elaine has finished recording her second album, �Waves�.

Released on Cosmos Recordings and featuring members of Lamb on double bass, cello, drums and electric bass. The album was recorded at Manchester�s Analogue Catalogue and was engineered by Julie McLarnon (Lambchop, Nine Black Alps).
