Liverpool Soundcity Homecoming Queen

 

I'm super proud to be performing in my hometown at the most excellent festival Liverpool Soundcity this May... I'm a long time fan and punter of this festi, which with 10 years under its belt, went from free city centre multi-venue event to standalone Docks site supernova headliner big bash!

 

Back to its roots for 2018, this year's fest is in the much celebrated and regenerated Baltic Triangle and I'm performing in the afternoon on the opening day Saturday May 5th

(which means you'll defo see me pogoing to the DMAs later on!)

 

You will not regret popping along, such fantastic music and great fun peoples (I've made mates for lyf at this do) and I'll be enjoying a Homecoming Queen drink or three, so do join me!

 

SheBeat Meets...

SheBeat Meets... is my latest project to share with ya'll... 

I have long loved radio-making and radio-listening, so after much umming and ahhhing, I am now in production of my very own new music podcast! Think BBC Introducing without a budget... Your fav singer-songwriter chatting to other singer-songwriters about music making etc, exclusive live performances, plus a chance to discover someone new... I always say, just around the corner could lurk your new favourite song! 

One of the motivations for my making this little addition to the big bad world of podcasting is how few outlets there are for talking about your music as a grassroots artist... I'm hoping to give a platform to a handful of artists you might never hear about otherwise... I was inspired, in part, by ItMattersRadio with Kerry & Monica who invited me to be their guest a few months back, which I found such a great experience. I also really enjoy a gal pal podcast called Call Your Girlfriend - recommended to me by my own girlfriend KC - which often laments the lack of women in podding... so here I am! 

The series will be in season format, I am recording six episodes which will be dropped weekly via the soundcloud page below hopefully starting sometime next month... bear with me caller ;) 

After the first season I will take stock and seek feedback on whether we all want to carry on for another batch... but first we shall suck it and see!

This is where SheBeat Meets... will live when we go live, so add it as a bookmark beat fans...

Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans

After a successful start to the year, including a wonderful write up on music blog My Random Jukebox: 'an authentic charm which makes her stand out among the flood of acoustic singer songwriters out there today'; a fab #lustylive debut at Lusty Glaze; and successfully launching the first Sofar Sounds city for Cornwall, life has thrust me into an unexpected direction (again). 

Always one to go with the flow, and try to figure out how best to enjoy what the Universe has in store for me, I'm keeping my chin up while I find my new postcode... If being Cornish for 9 months has taught me anything, it's to keep calm and do things dreckly ;) 

Onwards on my journey in this life, I shall update you as to where I will be gigging once I'm relocated...

Meanwhile, enjoy this video Lusty Glaze filmed ahead of my gig there last week - one of my favourite songs I've written and seemingly true to life at the moment! ha
