Hello
I'm writing to you today from a ranch in east Tennessee! Since travelling across the Atlantic for the Folk Alliance conference last month, I've been spending time between this ranch and Nashville, talking to horses or meeting new musical friends. It's a great balance!
I've been inspired out here to look back at all of the non-musical writing I've done over the years. I've been writing poems and short stories for a long time, since riding the school bus from Edale to Bakewell when I was 16, and not all of these writings have become songs. I've decided it's time I shared some of them! So I'm proud to tell you I've just launched a Patreon page. It's a way for me to release new writing week by week, and receive monthly help from a set of supporting patrons who are interested in reading it! I'd love it if you would take a look: www.patreon.com/bellahardywriting
I've just announced a UK tour to run this October into November. All being well, it'll be my new album tour! It's all recorded and mixed, just a few logistics to work out... Not all of the tour dates are on sale yet, and I'll keep you updated as tickets become available. But if you want to get them in your diary early, dates are below, and at www.BellaHardy.com/tour.
