The great voice of English folk music' says Elvis Costello. Always write the truest sentence first: June Tabor is the best singer in the world." This is how Christoph Dieckmann writes in ZEIT. Now one might argue whether this is indeed the case. But one thing is for sure: the grande dame of the British folk scene. However, she is a folk singer in the broadest sense, as her music oscillates elegantly between jazz, rock and classical music. June Tabor adapts songs by such diverse artists as George Gershwin, Richard Thompson, Billy Bragg, Velvet Underground and Elvis Costello. Their interpretations are melancholic without being gloomy, moving thanks to their dark warm alto voice - they are simply breathtaking! Elvis Costello on June Tabor:"If you don't appreciate June Tabor, stop listening to music!"
