As a performer, Francesca is renowned for moving her audience into dream worlds. These worlds are not evoked solely by her story tales and poetic imagery, but also through an expressive voice bold in experimentalism; “sounds like birds singing, rain falling, stars shining”, and a diversity of song-form created on banjo, acoustic and electric guitars, dulcimers and found objects.

From an audience on her current tour across Europe from Cork to Istanbul: “Our souls were overwhelmed, flooded by your music, your sounds appearing before our eyes, your voice transcending us from the ocean depths to the crags of  Olympus through the dancing light of birds.”

Francesca released her self-produced debut ‘Vela’ in 2012, where found-sound samples and carefully chosen instrumentation combine to form songs sophisticated in arrangement and distinctive in production.
