Hannah
Scott performs contemporary folk music and is picking up a loyal following
thanks to her distinctive voice, strong melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
Originally
from Ipswich and the daughter of an artist, Hannah Scott draws much of the inspiration for her music from her
affinity with Italy. A year living and working on an olive press in rural
Tuscany, provided the backdrop to her early work and she has found her musical
home with creative partner Stefano Della
Casa who she met in London but may well have met years earlier when
regularly passing through the train station Stefano was working in!

Hannah has had her own difficulties following the recent diagnosis of a form of arthritis which causes severe joint pain and fatigue. Both artists, firmly believe that their musical collaboration has provided an outlet to support each other through difficult times.
“Around the
time of my diagnosis we had quite a lot of shows and Stefano literally had to
help me on and off the stage! He still insists on carrying all our equipment
when we’re on the road which makes us laugh because he ends up looking like a
porter and people must think I’m some kind of superstar refusing to pull my weight!” -

Stefano
adds, “I was going through a pretty low patch while we were writing
this record with no job and very little money and I’ll always remember Hannah
turning up on my doorstep bringing groceries, even though she could hardly walk.” -
Stefano
Their musical journey has also proved fruitful.
Previous releases were supported by Bob Harris and Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio
2. They’ve also been featured by MOJO, Songwriting Magazine and
as ‘New Band of The Day’ in The Guardian. Hannah has opened for
artists including Seth Lakeman and 10cc.
Stefano has
recently signed to Ultra Music Publishing and the pair are now working between
London and Italy. The result of their work is a new album, PIECES OF THE NIGHT, a collection of songs that expertly combines
organic, live elements, with classy electronica and stunning production.
Lyrically, they’re honest songs about the human condition and human connection
in an increasingly hectic world. The album ranges from stunning instrumental
performances such as ‘Boy In The Frame’, to crystalline electronica soundscapes
in ‘Pieces of The Night’. The two artists have struck a perfect balance between
Hannah’s traditional songwriting craft and Stefano’s exquisite synth-rich
production style.
“These are
songs celebrating family and friendship, songs in praise of the differences
between us, songs encouraging hope and strength in the face of adversity. We
hope that they will inspire people to believe that each and every one of us has
something to give.”

Hannah
shares: It tells the story of my 97-year old Grandmother who lost her older
brother in a car accident when she was just 10. She keeps a photo of him in her
living room and it's really difficult to imagine them as siblings because there
is an old lady sitting on the sofa and he is little more than a boy in the
picture. One of the things she often says is how unfair she thinks it is that
he was given so few years while she's been given so many and if she could, she
would share those years with him just to be able to spend more time with him.
Hannah and Stefano Della Casa visited the lovely Sue Marchant's BIG NIGHT IN on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and across the Local BBC Eastern Counties (Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk) on Sunday 1st July last night!
