Emma Black Emma started writing poems and songs on the piano as a young girl. She left school and home before she was 18 and went across to Amsterdam with a guitar that she taught herself to play. She began by busking and progressed to playing gigs at several of the acoustic music and blues clubs in Amsterdam. Two years later, Emma moved back to the UK to put a band together and get in the studio. The band named “The Immigrants” was a collaboration of some of Manchester’s finest musicians and they played extensively throughout the UK. The band played support gigs for amongst others, Hugh Masakela, Salif Keitah and The Indigo Girls. Her music gained a lot of industry interest but personal experience intervened and Emma took a break from performance for several years, choosing to relocate to North Wales where she has project managed a large amount of environmental and art projects, the results of which, namely wooden sculptures can be found in the mountains and woods in North Wales. She continues to manage environmental projects and is currently planting an orchard of rare trees in Snowdonia. During her years in Wales, Emma continued to write and record material and now holds an extensive back catalogue of work Emma recently began to play live again. She is an extremely busy live musician and recent gigs have included the 2006 In the City Music Convention, BBC radio, northwest radio and television. Emma has just finished recording her first full debut album “Where Dark Horses Roam” will was released in July 2007. Emma’s music has been described as heartfelt, emotive and mature.
