'Talented Performer'
'The artist oscillates between gently layered and sparse sounds, that often border on ethereal, with haunting and emotive vocals to a more punchy sound that blends the nu-folk stylings of Connor Oberst with hints of Joanna Newsom's harpistry plucked distantly on her signature ukulele.’ |

Little Strings (Clare Louise Roberts)
is an international singer-songwriter and a competitor in the Ukulele Festival of Scotland's Rising Stars competition. She writes indie-folk-pop songs, accompanied by conceptual art visuals when performing live across the UK. Originally from Wales, she has toured Belgium and France doing theatre and music, playing in Paris and Brussels before making Glasgow her home. She loves to tell stories through her music, often with some humour flowing through her relatable lyrics too. Little Strings has an EP out; available online and on CD now. |
Her self-titled EP was recorded and mixed by Ben Rogerson, a producer and member of Cumbrian band The Unsung and the artwork is by Cumbrian artist and musician James Ovens.

LONGER MUSIC BIO - HERE'S MY LIFE STORY!
Her singing career started at a young age, singing in hotels and Welsh choirs, competing in National singing competitions such as the Eisteddfod.
In Carlisle, she was a member of the melodic rock band Blind Fiction as a keyboard player and backing singer. Little Strings has collaborated with Tim Baugh for The Chapel Session and James Osborne and the Tea Party Party Collective..
Little Strings performed for Carlisle Fringe Festival and Manchester Fringe Festival 2017 and 2018 saw her perform in Brussels and Paris whilst touring a theatre show and driving around in a van for nine months.
She writes her own songs. Little Strings collaborates with other songwriters and artists and has written for theatre shows.
Her lyrics are insightful tales, philosophical (and just curious even ridiculous) questions of a twenty-something who people watches and is trying to figure life out; whether it's about tea or love; past the #authenticlifestyles and chaotic races and into the actual, real genuine world.
And some self deprecation as well.
Her sweet, vibrant voice and rich tones compliment her quirky ukulele and piano playing. Her lyrics offer a poetic peek at life today in a contemporary folk and pop style.
