Wailing Miserere is the musical alias of Lucy Hague. Lucy is originally from Orkney, Scotland, where she began writing and recording in 2001; she currently lives in Edinburgh. Her music draws inspiration from a wide range of styles, from folk to jazz to progressive rock. She plays a number of instruments, including piano, guitar and tin whistle.

Wailing Miserere’s EP Tales Untold was released in 2012 and the project has been on a extended hiatus since then, whilst Lucy has concentrated on designing and publishing knitting pattern books - but watch this space for more music!).

Lucy contributed vocals, piano and whistle to the Still Light album Lything (2009).
