In advance of the vinyl release of Marianne’s EP ‘Burning Moonlight’ tomorrow, as part of Record Store Day, a second digital single 'She Moved Thru’ The Fair' is now available to stream and download

Her first recording of the song was in 1966 for her second Decca folk collection ‘North Country Maid’ and it also appeared on ‘Blazing Away’, Marianne’s acclaimed live retrospective from 1990.
In recent years Marianne revisited a number of her earlier recordings, finding further meaning and nuance with the passage of time. It feel very fitting therefore to now have a new interpretation of 'She Moved Thru’ The Fair' on her final release.
We are honoured to announce Burning Moonlight, a new four track EP by Marianne featuring songs she worked on in the year before her passing.
The title track ‘Burning Moonlight’ is available today to stream and download mariannef.lnk.to/burningmoon…
Recorded to commemorate Marianne’s 60th anniversary in music, & released as part of Record Store Day on 12th of April, the EP was inspired by her two debut albums from 1965.
Mixing her pop roots with her folk influences these four last songs bring Marianne’s career full circle and reflect a lifetime of musical creativity.
