Thea Eve Gilmore (born 25 November 1979, Oxford, England) is a British female singer-songwriter. She began her career working in a recording studio, where she was discovered by her now long-time collaborator, producer and sometime co-songwriter Nigel Stonier, whom she married in October 2005.[1]
Gilmore released her first album as a teenager, entitled Burning Dorothy, in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success. She finally made a breakthrough at 23 with the release of Avalanche in August 2003, which became her first album to break into the Official UK Album Chart, at #62, and spawned two minor hit singles, "Juliet (Keep That in Mind)" and "Mainstream", for which she garnered acclaim for producing a low-budget music video filmed in a local Virgin Megastore. The video received exposure on the BBC's flagship music show Top of the Pops 2.

Don't Stop Singing Sandy Denny....[/size=5]
2011 album from British singer/songwriter Thea Gilmore, who set music to a set of unreleased lyrics by the late Folk legend Sandy Denny. Over the years, the guardians of Sandy's estate subsequently unearthed up to 20 sets of lyrics from her personal manuscripts. Thea Gilmore was soon identified as the artiste with the talent, integrity and the musical and personal empathy to bring these works to fruition. Her melodic abilities and, in particular, her quintessentially English crystalline voice have on occasions been compared to Sandy... The words themselves bear the trademark qualities that Sandy carried throughout her career. At times they are troubled - Sandy's restless nature and battling of her personal demons is well documented - but always honest, economical in style, never self pitying.
