Having already made a name for herself in her native Ireland Jenny Lindfors is hoping to make the same impression in the UK and beyond with her debut album When The Night Time Comes. Female First caught up with Jenny for a chat.

For anyone who hasn’t heard it how would you describe your sound?

I suppose kind of retro, folky you know. All the stuff I loved growing up was all Neil Young, Joanie Mitchell and all that kind of stuff so if anyone likes that kind of music it will be worth a listen.

How did you get into music?

Initially through my fathers record collection because he had so many albums and my uncles are all just fanatically into music. One of my uncles was a promoter in the late seventies in Dublin so he brought in a lot of bands so I was just sort of intoxicated by the whole scene from a very young age really.

There are lots of new artists coming out at the moment, what makes you different from all the rest?

I think probably because I’m not so consumed by style and image. There’s a lot of attitude and a lot of ego I think you know. I mean I live in east London and I always find it hilarious, there’s a certain strut about people and ever time I read about any female artist they tend to possess a really edgy quality and I can’t speak for all of them but there’s definitely an element of insincerity and something quite contrived about a lot of them and I guess I just try to stay away from that and be as honest as I possibly can.
