Laura Marling is an English Folk musician.
She is well known within the London Folk scene. She appeals to a niche audience rather than a commercialized one.
Laura Marling used to be part of the indie folk band Noah and the Whale which was where she first became known.
Both her albums ' I Speak because I Can' and 'Alas, I Cannot Swim' were nominated for the Mercury music prize in 2008 and 2010.
Promotion wise she has toured with a number of well-known indie artists in the UK and appeared on the Mystery Jets single 'Young Love' (March 2010) as well as The Rakes track 'Suspicious Eyes'. (2007)

'Alas I cannot swim' was promoted by a tour with Jamie T. She also performed at Wireless Festival and Underage Festival in 2007.
Her debut album was released in 2008. In this year she appeared on Russell Brands Radio 2 show alongside her sister, acting as further promotion.
Forms of media which were used to promote this album include radio and television as along with Russell Brand's radio 2 show, Laura also made appearances on 'Later with Jools Holland' and 'The Late show with Craig Ferguson' This form of promotion tells us more about the target audience as it is not a mass commercial one who would watch these type of shows.
