Ruth’s next big gig will be at Sheffield’s Tramlines festival when she performs at Beg, Borrow & Steal on July 23 at 3.30pm. She will sing all the songs from her new EP and some new material.

She would eventually like to move closer to the city lights of London where she believes her music will be heard and where she will be closer to family and friends.

Ruth said: “Being an unsigned artist can prove to be quite difficult without a label. My biggest goal now is to gain investment into my music from potential investors or labels who can see my strengths and work with me.”
