It has been a little while since my last All Things Norfolk column. I had a really busy summer playing lots of festivals in the area and further afield.

It is available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and also at my Bandcamp page: https://lisaredford.bandcamp.com Huge thanks to All Things Norfolk who has already shared the…
