The Woods, including members of semble, to record RopeSwing, which was given away as a free download. 2006 saw a full UK tour and the release of Of

Her latest album Lucy And The Wolves was released in April 2010, and the remainder of the year spent playing live, including supporting Beth Nielsen
Chapman on her UK dates.
