Since then a performer described a ‘superstar of the British acoustic scene’ has created a series of best-selling albums fusing her traditional Yorkshire folk roots with influences from more contemporary genres.

In 1999 her album Sleepless was the folk nominee in the Mercury Music Prize and although it didn’t win that gong her peers voted it Best Album at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
