Queen of the Underground Hadar Manor writes storytelling songs about life as an urban gypsy.

Described by The Observer as a 'prodigy', Hadar's self-released debut album 'Crossing London' follows her journey busking through Europe from the foot of the Judas mountains all the way to the Glastonbury Festival, where in 2007 she was a finalist in the Emerging Talent Contest and went on to play at both the BBC Introducing Stage and Michael Eavis' press launch to open the festival.

Hadar has collaborated with award winning producer Youth and modern Klezmer wizards Oi Va Voi.

Hadar recently joined Beth Rowley and Vashti Anna on their UK tour.

Previous TV preformances include ITV's 'South Bank Show'. Live radio appearances include: Capital Radio, LBC and Radio 2.

Hadar still busks at times but also recently covered a Paul McCartney song for the 'Great British Songbook' on BBC Radio 2.
