The alt-folk Londoner who's voice is beautiful & melodies sublime helps launch the first day of WOW - the festival celebrating the formidable strength and inventiveness of women.

Having won great acclaim for her debut album First Love, Emmy The Great is back with new songs and her trademark deft observations and stark admissions, cloaked in arrangements of disarming simplicity and beguiling melody. Support comes from Phildel, whose haunting music has her tipped as one to watch.
