A Shrewsbury-based singer relied on the kindness of others to release her debut album, Little Acts of Kindness… and now she’s ‘paying it forward’. Beth Prior recorded a stripped-back acoustic version of a selection songs from the album and has released them to download for free.
Reviewers describe Beth as a ‘highly educated, well-honed songwriter’, and the musician also works as a music mentor with vulnerable young people at The Hive in Shrewsbury. She has so far released two EPs, a live release and her debut album was made following a highly successful crowd funder campaign – which was 150% funded by loyal fans.
Beth’s next release is coming out in September with a sneaky single being released in July.
