After two hugely acclaimed albums with brother Olly Knight, Marry Waterson has teamed up with well-respected singer-songwriter and guitarist David A. Jaycock and released critically acclaimed Two Wolves on the One Little Indian label last year.
Daughter of Lal Waterson (from legendary English Folk group The Watersons) Marry’s music is steeped in the English tradition, but it is all original and has attracted incredible acclaim.

‘A quiet treat for folk fans.’ The Arts Desk
‘A gorgeously simple and direct record… holds up a light to the blackest of winter nights.’ ★★★★ Q Magazine
