Lucy And The Caterpillar

...I could be singing
this for hours and hours
and hours...

Emerging from her pupa with quickening pace, Lucy is a music industry butterfly in the making.
Having recently supported Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly and with a raft of XFM sessions under her belt, Lucy and her Caterpillar have been winning audiences over across the country.

The caterpillar itself is not actually an invertebrate but in fact her pet name for her trusty miniature acoustic guitar, on which she strums folk hinged pop songs extolling the virtues of kit kats and alcohol.

Lucy Conroy, the diminutive 19 year old singer songwriter with a penchant for even more diminutive guitars, is Burnley’s brightest star. Drawing comparisons with Regina Specktor and hailing herself as a cross between Vashti Bunyan and Destiny’s Child, Lucy in reality has a style all of her own.

Her MySpace page, adventure blog and website, all but scratch the surface of Lucy’s youthful exhuberance and quirky outlook on life. Effortlessly bittersweet and delivered with a healthy dose of self deprecation Lucy packs a heartfelt and unpretentious punch. At a recent gig she decide to perform a Cher cover, only to stop mid way and ask the audience what the lyrics were.

Lucy recently performed a showcase at ‘In The City’ following with a single ‘Red Red Wine’, which was released on Nov 6. Head on over to YouTube to witness her no expense spared video for ‘Red Red wine’, costing a hefty £4.99 (the price of the bottle)
