Mary Bolt – “Glastonbury”

Mary Bolt is an independent singer-songwriter who moved from the Peak District to Manchester, quickly making a name for herself in the UK folk-pop scene. Her new single, “Glastonbury”, comes right after “Nostalgia Road” and builds on the momentum of her earlier debut “The Understudy” and her EP Taking Chances, both of which picked up radio play on Wythenshawe FM and Crags Radio.

The song mixes acoustic warmth with a little rock punch and country storytelling. Everything builds up to a big, catchy chorus about the real emotional high points and heartbreaks of young adulthood. You can hear how she draws from artists like Taylor Swift, Paramore, Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Lewis Capaldi, especially in the honest, personal way she writes her lyrics and crafts guitar-led melodies.

She clearly has an eye for a memorable hook, and this release shows an artist who knows exactly where her sound is going. It makes total sense why she is gaining so much traction across the North West.
