Hello... my name is Ivy, songwriter and guitar-slinger from port-side Lyttelton in the South Island of New Zealand, currently living in Berlin. It is a pleasure to meet you.

I spent the second half of 2015 on a troubador-style European tour, and while I now have a place to hang my hat, I still spend a bunch of time on the road. While doing the rounds of the bars and cafes that will host a singer of the melancholy-indie-folk-rock persuasion, I would be enchanted to meet music-loving like-minded folk wherever I can.

I play music under the name "Luckless", and would love to come and perform a show in your living room, kitchen or hallway. Or, I might already be playing in your town and may be looking for a place to hang my hat for a night or two - if you'd accommodate a friendly musician that would be wonderful.

Have a listen on youtube if you're interested!

兴趣

I love good books (paper only, no e-readers for this girl), binge-watching long-form television (The Wire, Mad Men, Top Of The Lake, House of Cards whenever I'm near Netflix), short runs, long walks, dogs and cats, singing birds and the sound of a rainstorm on the roof, warm coats, dinner parties, red wine and whiskey, delicious vegetarian food, good conversation and strong opinions.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

If you're interested in hosting a House Concert, I promise an evening of ethereal, loop based electric guitar and hovering vocals... Sometimes Luckless can be loud and raucous too, but only when the occasion suits.

Or if you're able to offer a simple place for me to snooze for a night, I can offer delicious vegetarian food, meagre attempts to speak French, slightly better forays into the German language, a genuine interest in your world-view, and a hard drive full of movies for you to peruse.
