Happy 2026! Xmas Show and Singalong, New Remixes

Posted on January 4, 2026 by lisa

Wishing you all a wonderful and music-filled new year. December was a very busy one, full of creative moments. It was really fun to play some festive songs and originals at a solo, acoustic gig at Adnams Norwich on Unthank Road.

Thanks so much to everyone who came along.

It was also so great to be back in a recording studio – the fantastic Ashwood studios in Norwich – after awhile. I added my vocals and guitar to a very special and wonderful piece of music – more details on this exciting project soon.

I also had a fantastic time celebrating the holiday season by running a Holly Jolly Sing-along at the American Library. We sang lots of Christmas classics and it was great to have singers and artists of all ages get into the holiday spirit with me. The American Library will have many more creative events coming this year, so keep an eye out on Eventbrite to learn more.

Check out the amazing melodic and electronic sound of Science Associates on Soundcloud – among all the great tracks producer Phill Coady has uploaded, there’s remixes of my song “If We Meet Again”and a version of Bastille’s “Pompeii” featuring my vocals.
