Wow, my PledgeMusic goal has been reached!  I’m so grateful for the support – it really does mean such a lot. I had initially been nervous to embark on my very first PledgeMusic crowdfunding project but the continued support and enthusiasm has surpassed all expectations.I have also just received the mastered tracks from the brilliant Crunch Recording Studio and can’t wait to share the songs with you soon!In the meantime, if you visit my SoundCloud page you can hear a live acoustic cover of Jason Isbell’s lovely song “Maybe It’s Time” from “A Star is Born”. So cool that it has already had over 2,000 listens! Also at my Soundcloud are rare tracks, other covers of favourite songs, my Christmas EP and free downloads:

I had a lovely night performing a short acoustic set at one of my favourite venues, Norwich Arts Centre opening for Morganway. Here’s a little video clip from the night.

“Another powerful finely honed vocalist was a feature of the support in the form of Lisa Redford whose consistently polished material surely merits wider attention…her song structures, guitar pattern and vocal style recalled Patty Griffin.”
Wow! compared to Patty Griffin! huge thanks to Americana UK for this lovely review of my live acoustic set at The Green Note in London.

Now that the festive season is in full swing it’s been lovely to receive airplay for one of my original Christmas songs “When Christmas Comes Around.” Huge thanks to BBC Radio Norfolk for playing it as part of Conrad’s Christmas Carols on the breakfast show. You can hear an interview and the song via the BBC Sounds app approximately 24 minutes in and also here on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06r43h8
Thanks also to Future Radio for play listing the song.

Looking forward to some lovely gigs including Norwich Arts Centre on November 30th opening for the brilliant Morganway and making my debut at the award-winning Green Note in Camden as special guest for No Coward Soul on December 4th. Stepping up to the microphone! Great session at excellent local community radio station Future Radio in Norwich learning the studio techniques for hosting a music show.

Amplify Introducing ~ Interviewing Bob Harris, Supporting Tom McRae, Radio Host

Enjoyed a couple of days at the inaugural Amplify Introducing at London’s Excel. Caught lots of insightful panels including ones on women in music and the current country music scene in the UK. It was lovely to catch up with the wonderful Bob Harris and get to interview him for my feature in Songwriting Magazine.
