Daisy Chute
Scottish/American singer-songwriter Daisy Chute has found a loyal following through her award-winning songwriting and jaw-dropping vocals. 2024 brought with it a Grammy award for her involvement in The Birdsong Project alongside Robert Thomas. Daisy also received FATEA’s EP of the year award (2022) for 'Songs of Solace'. Recent international showcases include at festivals/events like AMA:UK, MiCannes (France), Gwangju (South Korea) and Lubbock (Texas, USA). Regularly selling out shows across the UK, Europe and US, Daisy can be spotted with a guitar or banjo at top arts venues such as Kings Place London, Pound Arts Corsham, Cambridge Junction and festivals including Black Deer, Bristol Folk, Cambridge Folk, Beardy Folk, Wickham (mainstage) and Glastonbury. 2024 is no exception with tours across the U.K. and Europe.
Possessed with a "gorgeous voice" (Guy Garvey, Elbow) and recognised as a ‘committed, professional and creative songwriter’ (Sir Ray Davies, The Kinks), Daisy and her original music features regularly on BBC Radio and television including BBC 1/2/3, ITV, C4 and Sky. Her music is also playlisted across thousands of Tesco and Caffe Nero stores around the world.
With an abundance of recording credits, you may have heard Daisy’s vocals before without even realising. Credits range from TV favourites like ITV's 'Endeavour' and David Attenborough documentaries to film soundtracks like 'Yesterday' and 'Shaun the Sheep' movies. For fans of games you may have heard her sing in Simlish or play banjo for EA Games' The Sims 4, or heard her backing vocals for iconic band albums such as Radiohead 'A Moon Shaped Pool' and Justice's Grammy-winning 'Woman Worldwide'. Don’t miss Daisy’s show, timed to bridge the very special ‘Field of Light switch on’ with Bruce Munro, at the Luscombe Maye Stage on Saturday evening.
