The Mysterious Lady

The uniquely captivating Lady Maisery return with Tender, their first studio album in six years. The band's combined talents of Hazel Askew, Hannah James and Rowan Rheingans (individually three of the most accomplished and adventurous artists in modern folk) have created a musically audacious, boldly political and manifestly personal record that reaches far beyond their previous work. The album comprises original songs written by Lady Maisery, as well as contemplative and personal interpretations of work by Bjork, Tracy Chapman and the late Lal Waterson.

26 year old Shani Warren was found drowned in Taplow Lake, Buckinghamshire, with her hands tied and feet bound together in 1987, with the case becoming known as that of 'the Lady in the Lake'. After years of investigation that failed to find the killer, police drew a blank, leaving the family to endure many frustrating years. Then, in 2020, a forensic breakthrough by the Thames Valley Police cold case team finally revealed the terrible truth about what had happened.
