Toria Wooff

Lancashire's woman in black Toria Wooff sings tales of love, loss, hope, relationships and womanhood, taking listeners deeper into her bittersweet world.

Tugging at the cloaks of contemporary folk souls Jake Xerxes Fussell or Richard Dawson, she offers a contemporary twist on the Anglo folk tradition through a bloody cocktail of classic rock origins and transcends time with nods to the lyrical narratives of Led Zeppelin, Fairport Convention and Townes Van Zandt - all the while infused with inspiration from her collection of gothic literature and historical texts.

Her songs are chapters to dip in and out of, moments immortalised in time, bound together by nothing more than the human experience.

A painter, poet, songwriter and storyteller, music is just one facet of Toria's wildly creative imagination which metamorphoses in many forms.

Steeped in gothic romanticism, pagan and Germanic tradition, Toria's unique view of the world is enchanting through an alchemy of sound and vision; a magical blend of her own spellbinding folk-rock concoction.
