This month’s Over Hulton Folk Club headliner, Edwina Hayes, captivated the audience with her unique blend of English folk, Americana, and a touch of strong Northern tradition. Known as one of the finest female singer-songwriters, Hayes delivered an unforgettable performance alongside the talented Steve Moonshine. The intimate setting at the Conservative Club allowed for an evening of soulful melodies, with Hayes’ distinctive sound shining through in every note.
Hayes has toured with legendary artists such as Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith, and Loudon Wainwright III. The title track of her album Pour Me a Drink was even covered by Nanci Griffith, who praised Hayes as "the sweetest voice in England." Her heartfelt rendition of Randy Newman’s Feels Like Home was featured in the film My Sister’s Keeper, starring Cameron Diaz, and has since garnered over 20 million plays on Spotify and 50 million views on YouTube.
