With "The Counterweight", her first album of original material in four years, receiving rave reviews, Thea is back for her ever-anticipated homecoming gig. The new album has already been described as Thea's reaction to the turbulent events of 2016 and as a return to the spirit of her breakthrough album "Avalanche". Whether hurling lyrical scepticism at the political landscape, crooning a tender love song or throwing a curveball with one of her unlikely cover versions, Thea's exquisite voice never fails to beguile. The Nantwich resident and Words & Music co-organiser promises to grace the 10th festival with a show that will include a few surprises.
