About the artist
June Tabor
Ah, June Tabor, the enchanting songstress who has been captivating audiences with her hauntingly beautiful voice for over four decades. With a career that spans folk, jazz, and even punk rock, Tabor is truly a genre-defying artist who never fails to surprise and delight. Born in Warwickshire, England, Tabor first made a name for herself in the folk music scene in the 1970s, quickly establishing herself as one of the leading voices of her generation. Her distinctive, melancholic vocal style has been compared to the likes of Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, with a haunting quality that is impossible to forget. Tabor's discography is a testament to her versatility and musical ingenuity, with albums ranging from traditional folk ballads to experimental collaborations with jazz musicians and electronic artists. Her ability to breathe new life into old songs is truly remarkable, with each rendition feeling fresh and original. But it's not just Tabor's voice that sets her apart – it's also her keen eye for storytelling and her ability to transport listeners to another time and place. Whether she's singing about lost love, political turmoil, or the beauty of the natural world, Tabor's lyrics are always poignant and thought-provoking. In a world filled with manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter performers, June Tabor stands out as a true original – a musical enigma who defies categorisation and who continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. With each new release, Tabor proves that she is not just a musician, but a storyteller, a poet, and a true master of her craft.
