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.

Had a great time playing two successive lovely Americana nights. I performed at Grapevine for Music at The Guildhall, who host regular showcases of great folk and country artists, and then on the following night supported I support the excellent duo, The Worry Dolls at OPEN, fresh from their recent AMA UK Award nomination. Also playing were the fabulous Morganway doing a special stripped down set.

“An easy and engaging manner between songs and wonderfully evocative, melancholic, wistful stories within them.” Thanks so much Richard Shashamané for this great review in his excellent Norwich music blog here. Superb photos too as always.

Full video of Lucinda Williams cover “Still I Long For Your Kiss” performed at OPEN. Love singing this great song:

Thanks to Connor Bannon for this cool photo from The Guildhall show:

Following on from my recent Future Radio People’s Playlist show, where I played and talked about my favourite songs, I’m really looking forward to being the Tuesday Guest on BBC Radio Norfolk next Tuesday, 21st November between 6-7pm. I’ll be chatting to Matthew Gudgin about my career journey and all-time favourite music. Just going to be hard to whittle down my choices to only 6 favourite songs! The show link is here
