" Tell them I came, and no one answered. That I kept my word" From ‘The Listeners’,by Walter de la Mare. The Listeners is Emma Thorpe - on her own or with her collaborators. And she sings in cinematic detail from a small town on the North Nottinghamshire borders. Thorpe was born into music – her mother taught her to finger-pick, introducing her to the music of PJ Harvey, Sandy Denny, Susan Vega, Roy Harper and Bob Dylan along the way; Her father Kevin was well respected on the blues scene for his albums with Out Of The Blue; And her aunt managed Welsh psychedelic legends Man.
