Biography
♠   By the time Sheffield~raised, Canterbury~born photograph salesperson Lucy Spraggan had received rapturous applause for her performance of the witty, self~penned “Last Night” during an X Factor 2012 audition, the singer/songwriter already had a self~released album to her name. October 2011’s Top Room at the Zoo mixed an observational lyrical style inspired by the Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner with a playful, lighthearted vocal delivery that recalled Kate Nash. Once Spraggan’s audition had been televised, by early September Zoo had reached number 22 on the U.K. albums chart, while “Last Night” just missed out on the Top Ten of the same week’s singles chart. In 2013 she released her sophomore album, Join the Club, and featured a new version of “Last Night (Beer Fear).” She then embarked on a nationwide headline tour to promote the record. She returned in 2015 with her third effort, We Are. The effort received widespread acclaim and was commended for its deeply personal and introspective lyrics. She promoted the album with The Unsinkable Tour. Later that year she announced that she had founded her own label, CTRL Records, which saw its first release with her 2016 EP, Home. The EP included a revised version of the track “Tea & Toast” from the Join the Club album. She started work on her fourth full~ength effort later that year, stating that the writing process was more spontaneous than planned. The record, entitled I Hope You Don’t Mind Me Writing, saw release in January 2017. ~ James Wilkinson & Rob Wacey
♠   Lucy Spraggan is that rarest of things — a genuine singer/songwriter to emerge from the TV talent show scene.
♠   Four years and, now, four albums later we have ‘I Hope You Don’t Mind Me Writing…’, a record written from the heart.
♠   Produced by Jon Maguire, formerly of Lilygreen & Maguire, and mastered by John Davies at Metropolis, the album features 13 tracks, including ‘Dear You’, a haunting, heart~wrenching piano ballad released this summer.
♠   Other stand out tracks include ‘Hey William’ and ‘Modern Day Frankenstein’. Fans who pre~order the album now can download the ‘90s nostalgia filled ‘Freddo’s Aren’t 10p’ immediately.
♠   Having somehow been stumbled upon by ‘The X~Factor’, Lucy was a favourite on the show in 2012 but had to withdraw due to illness.
♠   She released her first record ‘Top Room At The Zoo’ in 2011, before appearing on the show in 2012 with her track ‘Last Night’. The song reached #11 in the UK singles chart and the album entered the UK albums chart at #22.
♠   Lucy returned the following year with her debut studio album ‘Join The Club’, which reached #7 in the UK albums chart. In 2015 she released her 3rd album ‘We Are’, which charted in the UK Top 20 and reached #1 on the iTunes Singer Songwriter chart.
