What people have said about Emma Tricca:
"Fresh from recording her new album, GOOD MORNING DINER, the follow-up to GYPSIES AND RED CHAIRS, Emma performs brand new material as well as the occasional classic re-arranged. A delicate, seductive blend of English and American roots, inspired by the people and places that touched her soul on her extraordinary journey."
"A genuine folk singer with a sensibility that flies us arrow-straight to
the 60's streets of Greenwich Village or Soho"
Joey Webb - Bucketfull Of
Brains
"Emma Tricca deserves kudos for a folkie take on Emmylou Harris' tricky From
Boulder to Birmingham."
Nick Fildes - Americana UK
"Stripped bare of her band Tricca's new songs stand proud & while ably backed
by long-term guitarist Martin Brown, there is more than enough substance
in both lyric & melody to withstand being reduced down to even a single vocal & guitar
showing the versatility of any well-written song. Our forty-five minutes
was over too soon. Leaving the stage briefly, Emma returned with a delicate
run through Bob Dylan's 'Love Minus Zero/ No Limits', which drew a lengthy
and enthusiastic applause, entirely commensurate with the standard of performance
we had been treated to over the course of the evening"

"Tricca sings without naivety, subtly creating a seductive and powerful experience"
Saffron
Summerfield
"Emma is fresh, quirky and different"

"Pure seductive voice"
Time Out London
"Fast gaining the reputation as the most talented finger pickin' guitarist
on the folk scene"

"Emma Tricca sits demurely under the Cafe Stage canopy, singing sweet to
her guitar. The Lady has a voice of gentleness with a light sprinkling of
vibrato for emphasis. Her wistful songs engage easily and draw the sun from
behind the clouds"
Review of the GREEN MAN FESTIVAL Show - Jane Oriel
"Emma Tricca on the Green Man Cafe fun, impressive, a trifle fey, classic
folk voice."
Review of the GREEN MAN festival - Jeremy Searle
"Italian-born Queen of Folk Emma Tricca was first spotted by John Renbourn
playing for pennies in Rome. Having subsequently toured with Lonnie Donegan,
and shared stages with Carolyn Hester and Eric Anderson she's now one of
the most memorable performers in London Town. An exceptional finger-picking
guitarist and a captivating singer; her voice moves from dark and strong
to butterfly light, like a Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Janis Ian all-in-one.
Plus she's a brilliant songwriter"

About Gypsies and Red Chairs:
"This selection of songs is first class"

"An excellent debut CD"
Folk and Roots
"A debut album of certainty and character creating atmospheres ethereal and
mesmerising"
Nick West, Bucketfull of Brains
"Her dark pure voice is unusual. Baez yes, but also Tanita Tikaram, Gay Woods,
June Tabor and Judy Collins in her Brecht-Weill mood She's a damn good guitarist
too, her folk, jazz and world style well versed in the influences of Drake
and Renbourn. Lines like "she said 'there are plates to wash in the sink
and there are people in prison locked up just as in a film'" make your heart
tumble"
