Biography
Anyone who has heard Rosalie Deighton's potent voice and compelling songs will know that music is her life. In fact, there was music in her world even before she was born. ''My mother always told me that she played Emmylou Harris records to me when I was still in the womb,'' Rosalie says. ''Something must have got through because she's one of my favourite artists to this day.''
Born in Holland to an Indonesian mother and a British father, the family moved to Barnsley, Yorkshire when Rosalie was eight. By then she was already a seasoned performer. Her parents were musicians and a popular attraction at folk festivals playing an eclectic repertoire of bluegrass, country and folk as the Deighton Family. By her fourth birthday, Rosalie was playing spoons with the family band (which also included four other siblings) and soon graduated to mandolin.
