Edwina's beautifully written songs, charming stage presence, and voice of an angel have won her a reputation as a true natural talent of gentle folk-Americana. 

She has opened numerous shows for Jools Holland and Van Morrison, as well as her own gigs playing stages everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to The Royal Albert Hall, and has an eclectic range of influences from Bob Dylan and Carole King to Van Morrison and Gillian Welch.

Edwina numbers Michael Parkinson and Mike Harding among her fans, and the title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith, who calls her 'the sweetest voice in England'. Her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister's Keeper and has since had over fifty million plays on YouTube.
