The May Birds began in the summer of 2009 with Eleanore and Alice. They have spent the last 9 months writing and recording and beginning to collect more musicians. They now have a pianist, Camilla and a cellist, charlotte. They will be recording their album with the full band in the forthcoming months and playing live in London, Brighton and Bristol. Their music has been described as having a 'mesmorising, transporting' quality and 'Distinctive and heartbreaking' sound.

Suzy sings, loops, blows bottles and weaves a web of story and song which is fleshed out by lightening flamenco fingerpicker Mike Manley, feisty soprano Jenny Gal Or and green-fingered percussionist Joe Medler. Compared variously to Joan Baez, Martha Tilston, Kate Bush and Kristin Hersh, the upbeat and heartfelt songs are easy to remember but hard to pigeon-hole and draw smiles and tears from anyone from infants to the elderly.
