Lisa Redford Unplugged - Headlining in Norwich Photo by Claudia Taveira

Hey everyone, hope you all had a lovely summer and have even managed to enjoy the little indian summer we’ve just had in Norfolk. I had a great time playing festivals and there are some live videos from them below. I’m really excited to be sharing the brand new music video for my song ‘Be Around’ which was filmed in Norfolk 

 

I am also delighted to announce a headline Norwich show at The Bicycle Shop in December. I love playing this lovely venue and last time it was sold out, so I hope to see some more Norwich fans to share what should be a very special evening

New Music Video ‘Be Around’ filmed in Norfolk

My album ‘Slipstream’ was recently reissued by Proper Distribution and from it here’s a new video for the song ‘Be Around’ filmed this summer on the coast on one of our glorious warm days!

Be Around Official Music Video

The video was made by hugely talented local film maker and photographer Claudia Taveira Photography. We’ve collaborated on a few projects this past year and she has filmed many lovely videos and shot photo shoots in the area. Norfolk provides many wonderful locations and here’s some of the other videos she’s filmed:

Upcoming Headline Norwich Show - Bicycle Shop December 10th

On Wednesday December 10th I’ll be playing a special headline show at The Bicycle Shop. Tickets and info here.

Festival Review & Live Festival Videos

Had a great time in August playing at Brownstock Festival in Essex and Weyfest in Surrey. The fun festival weekend was topped off by an excellent set by closing headliners Squeeze, bringing back fond memories from one of my first major gigs, supporting Glenn Tilbrook at Norwich Arts Centre! 

Thanks to Festivals for All for this lovely review of my set at Brownstock

Here’s also some live videos from both festivals:

Norwich Sound and Vision This Week

This week Norwich Sound and Vision comes to Norwich bringing 3 days of live music in venues across the city and it’s well worth going along to. I've been very fortunate to have been involved, performing one of the showcase evenings at the Bicycle Shop and also playing at a PRS opening reception and believe it's a truly exciting and vibrant festival that really puts Norwich on the UK music map. 

During the festival there's a great atmosphere and I've seen some amazing live performances at Norwich Arts Centre, Open, Olives, the Bicycle Shop and other key venues across the city. Not only is there the high quality of eclectic live music to see, during the day there’s also the conference itself. I've really enjoyed the excellent and relevant panel discussions from trusted and respected members of the music industry, some coming from around the world. I've really felt inspired and motivated after hearing what they've advised and had to say about the industry. 

Importantly, the festival also provides a major opportunity for media, artists, labels, filmmakers, writers and anyone involved in a creative industry to all meet and network. I've made connections with bloggers and radio from attending the festival and as a musician and music lover Sound and Vision has become one of the essential dates in the music calendar.

    Norfolk Day will be upon us this Friday, 27th July and I am really excited to share this beautiful new music video from my incredibly talented student Breeze Redwine. Especially filmed for Norfolk Day and showcasing the stunning countryside of the county, it has already had a wonderful response and been selected as the official song for the occasion. The track is "Trust"  an original song written by myself and Breeze which is also the title track of her debut EP. Everyone involved in the video is from Norfolk, from the musicians to the video director-producer David McKenna, and the project was sponsored by Rushall-based Vincent’s Garage.

    Some of the county’s most iconic landmarks feature in the video including including Thurne in the Norfolk Broads, Happisburgh Light House, Cromer Pier and The Waveney Valley.

    I’m really excited to share my new original song “I Just Can’t Forget” the first track from my second Whispering Bob TV Under The Apple Tree session. Curated by Bob Harris himself, Under the Apple Tree sessions are intimate performances recorded live in the studio of Whispering Bob Harris, which just happens to be situated under an apple tree. 

    It is always special catching up with Bob Harris and his son Miles Hyerscough-Harris - who beautifully records and films the sessions - and it was also a treat to be reunited with brilliant pedal steel player Alan Cook who played on my second album “Lost Again”

    Over the last couple of months I’ve played some lovely gigs and radio sessions.  I had a wonderful night performing at Norwich Waterfront Studio opening for country singer songwriter Sarah Darling. It was exciting to perform two brand new songs and nice to have the brilliant Noel Dashwood - from renowned local folk trio Alden, Patterson and Dashwood - joining me with his exceptional dobro and harmony vocals.  We also earned some great reviews from local publications:

    “With dobro player Noel by her side, she opened up the evening with a great array of original songs which she has written over her substantial career as a musician. It was easy to be drawn in by her elegant and classy deliverance.” Huge thanks to the EDP Newspaper for this great mention.

    It’s already been a busy and creative year.  In my music writer role I had an amazing and inspiring time at the AmericanaFestUK in London which I was covering for iSing Magazine, a digital magazine for vocalists and excellent resource for singers, singing teachers and those in the music industry.  Organised by the AMA-UK, AmericanaFestUK celebrates the flourishing Americana music scene with a daytime conference, an evening of artist showcases and an illustrious Awards ceremony.

    As an Americana artist and member of The AMA-UK myself, it is so great that the association represents and supports American roots music and artists in the UK.  The conference drew major artists including Billy Bragg, Frank Turner, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Mary Gauthier and Squeeze’s Chris Difford. The Stellar awards show at the historic Hackney Empire hosted by Bob Harris featured some incredible performances including lifetime achievement winner Robert Plant and Trailblazer Award winners Mumford and Sons.

    I had a great time playing two successive Americana nights in Norwich last week. I performed at the historic Guildhall in the city centre for Grapevine for Music, who host regular gigs showcasing quality folk, Americana and country artists. Also performing were superb Norfolk singer-songwriter Jake Morrell, now based in London and fresh from recording in Nashville, and also SJ and the flying Pigs from Cambridge, who create a lovely dreamy sound with acoustic guitar, banjo and fiddle.
