"The freshest spring voice of the nu-folk scene."
"...an often bleak, thoughtful set that echoes anything from British traditional ballads to country music and theatrical pop and proves she is a fine storyteller....an impressive set."

'Songs Lost & Stolen' is Bella Hardy's third album and a step up from her previous releases (though they were also good records). Comprising
of 100% self written new songs this time around,'The Herring Girl' nevertheless sounds like a classic trad folk tune passed down through
the years, while 'Walk It With You' is a lovely country ballad performed as a duet with Kris Drever. The album is produced by Mattie Foulds
of The Burns Unit, and, just as with their 2010 debut album, he's done a great job. Highly recommended stuff.

I enjoyed Bella's previous albums but this this is the best of the three. Bella's powerful and evocative voice combines with a rich variety of backing musicians who do full justice to Bella's intriguing songwriting. All the songs are original but this is not your average navel gazing singer/songwriter material. The CD is a grower, repeated plays reveal more and more depth to the songs and the arrangements. Fabulous.

It has been interesting to watch Bella Hardy's progress. In Songs Lost and Stolen she emerges as a mature singer songwriter, with excellent and varied material and always beautiful presentation. Her songs range from traditional sounding ballads like The Herring Girls to the ethereal Full Moon over Amsterdam to the exuberant Written in Green - and all moods in between. It's a lovely album.

I kept hearing the "herring girl" and decided after some time to try the album. I like Bella Hardy's music and the album is something to kick back to and just chill out. Excellent
