Liz Overs - Nightjar

Released 21st March 2025

Liz will be joining us in-store with her autoharp on Friday 4th July, playing live from 6.30pm and signing copies of 'Nightjar'. If you'd like to attend, just pop a note in with your order.

A tangle of word and melody, old and new, NIGHTJAR evokes journeys along ghostly paths, country lanes and starlit shorelines, alive with shimmering patterns of a flowing tide. Stories of childhood, of loves and rivalries, fair maidens, cruel sisters and winged sorcerers are interwoven with glimpses of the natural world. NIGHTJAR is Liz Overs' debut solo release, having previously been signed to Atlantic in the late '90s aspart of indie-dance crossover band Pocket Size, and she was also lead singer and songwriter for the Sussex-based folk band Chalk Horse Music.

Liz's haunting, unaccompanied version of The Birds in the Spring was featured in Out NowDylan Howitt's award-winning documentary The Nettle Dress,
