‘Songs Lost & Stolen’ is the eagerly awaited first collection of completely new material from acclaimed singer and song writer Bella Hardy.
It follows critically acclaimed ‘In the Shadow of Mountains’ (2009), in which Bella combines a mixture of new material and traditional songs. The album was highly praised, with R2 Rock n' Reel Magazine writing "5 stars, ‘In The Shadow of Mountains’ is stunning”. However, it was Bella's song writing which was particularly noticed; "Surely no-one has any right to be writing songs with the sophistication of Sylvie Sovay, so early in their career…a mastery of melancholic melody and lyrical portraiture that brings to mind no less than Lennon and McCartney” (English Dance & Song magazine). Her song writing was also noted on Bella's first album ‘Night Visiting’ (2007), for which Colin Irwin of fRoots wrote "...Bella Hardy is more than a new generation folk revivalist... Her potential is massive". Her ballad Three Black Feathers was nominated for Best Original Song in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2008, and has since been recorded by Jim Moray on his album ‘Low Culture’.
