In 2011, Lady Maisery released
Weave & Spin and were subsequently nominated for the Horizon Award in the
BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and for Best Debut in the
Spiral Awards. The album was also made 'Album of the Week' in The Independent. In 2012 they were featured on
BBC Radio 4's
Woman's Hour and in 2013 they have twice appeared on
BBC Radio 3's classical music programme 'In Tune'. In 2013, they released a charity download single to mark
International Women's Day on 8 March—a version of
Kate Bush’s song "
This Woman’s Work"--with proceeds donated to the charity coalition "End Violence Against Women". This preceded the release of their second album,
Mayday, which was launched in both London and Sheffield. During 2013, Lady Maisery also gave a number of performances of "Rest", a secular
requiem, composed for them by
Emily Hall and
Toby Litt as the third in the pair's trilogy of song cycles. Performances included the
National Portrait Gallery, London, Spitalfields Summer Festival and Deal Festival. All three members were part of the
Songs of Separation project, which won "Best Album" in the 2017
BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2018 Lady Maisery collaborated with duo Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith to create the winter time show
Awake Arise, and released the accompanying album,
Awake Arise: A Winter Album, in 2019. In 2022, Lady Maisery released their 5th studio album,
Tender.
The Guardian described it as a "thoughtful record" with "Inspired cover versions and splendid harmony singing" while The Times said it was, 'a beguiling blend of ancient and modern'. They followed this up with two album tours in late 2022 and spring 2023. == Discography ==
