“Mills is a master storyteller and her bewitching songs are shot through with wisdom, imagining the mysterious lives of others with enormous sympathy“
The Musician (MU journal)

Magical stories from the North York Moors..... solo singer-songwriter Becky Mills contributes a new & captivating flavour to the modern folk genre. Listeners and audiences describe her as “touching, compelling and witty“, with “evocative songs“ both “uplifting” and “heart-rending”. After 20 years on the circuit (including gigs at Glastonbury, Trowbridge and Cambridge festivals) she is a firm favourite with audiences large and small.

In 2019 she released her new album, “Tall Tales and Home Truths”; rooted in the superstitions, folklores and mysteries of the North York moors she calls home, the album mines her family’s past to bring astonishing real-life stories to the listener’s attention. Myths, community tales, bonds and travails, all rooted in a sense of place, where the moors suddenly meet the sea and the promise of a potentially different life…

A close collaborator with Fairport Convention founder Ashley Hutchings, Becky has also collaborated with Pentangle, Fairport Convention, Barbara Dickson and Ken Nicol, as well as being a former member of acclaimed all-girl ensemble Waking The Witch.
