Me For Queen
With a voice often likened to Carole King and Regina Spektor, a classical piano training, and influences ranging from Björk to Chopin, Me for Queen, aka Mary Erskine, is rapidly winning acclaim for her beguiling ‘soul-folk’ songcraft, blending traditional folk story-telling with a contemporary edge.
Mary will be sharing songs from her new album, Microclimate, released in summer 2023.

“Mary Erskine… at the top of her game” (Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music).
“The combination of rich poetic lines and one of the most beautiful, emotive voices I’ve heard in a long time make Me for Queen stand out in any crowd.” Folk Radio UK http://www.meforqueen.com http://www.facebook.com/meforqueenmusic http://www.soundcloud.com/meforqueen

Samantha Whates
A gifted songsmith, she is a hugely respected figure on the London folk & roots scene. Her beautifully crafted, poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition, yet uniquely her own. Her new album Waiting Rooms, recorded entirely on location in various waiting rooms around the UK, is out now on Wonderfulsound.
“I love her voice” (Dolly Parton).
“The most beautiful album…” (Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2).
“Cannot be praised highly enough” (Folk Radio UK).
8/10 “ Sublimely crafted concept folk” (Louder than War).
