Bedfordshire singer-songwriter-guitarist, Terry Emm's debut album 'White Butterflies', caused a stir when it was released in 2009. The album, with it's introspective lyrics, lush orchestral movements, layers of chiming alternately tuned guitars and mandolin and Terry's distinctive soothing vocal, found admirers all over the world. It achieved much praise from the press who drew comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake, John Martyn and Clifford T Ward. Maverick Country magazine described the album as 'Stunning... faultless... the best singer songwriter debut in a long while', in a 5 star review, whilst Mojo praised it as an 'Outstanding debut... pastoral, romantic and lit musically by summer rays...no routine singer- songwriter offering but some-thing totally engaging in melody and lyric'. Uncut described Terry's songwriting as 'remarkable' for a teenager and the album was championed by many radio stations including BBC DJ's Tom Robinson and Bob Harris who Terry has recorded live sessions for on 6 Music and Radio 2.
In 2012 Terry remains independent, working with producer Richard Durrant as part of Brighton based collective LongMan Records who have been responsible for albums by the likes of; The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain, Stephen J Kalinich, Jack Cryer and the last album by busker legend, Don Partridge amongst others. Live, Terry's solo show is hushed and reflective, his vocal soaring high above his intricate acoustic picking. Not long after the release of 'White Butterflies', he was invited to open up for the acclaimed songstress Judith Owen on her UK tour and also toured the UK with labelmate, Simon Stewart and with friends Jinder and Alex Hall alongside appearances with Jackie Leven, Ella Edmondson, Iain Archer, Breaks Co-op, Rosie Flores and at many festivals. The new album 'Petals Fallen Off The Sun' see's Terry at an even more personal level lyrically and joined by percussionist Vinni Lammi and again by Richard Durrant. His voice echoing fragily over their slow building epic arrangements.
