Lisa will be performing alongside Irish Folk luminaries Mary MacPartlan, Rionach Connolly and fiddle player/multi-instrumentalist Gerry Diver on March 16 at King’s Place for an extraordinary play-with-music retelling of the story of Irish street singing legend Margaret Barry in She Moved Through the Fair by Colin Irwin.

Norma Waterson likened her to Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf; Bob Dylan said she was his favourite folk singer; and Van Morrison called her ‘a real soul singer’…Margaret Barry was extraordinary….

Don’t You Go A Rushing is a song from Lisa’s latest album Till April Is Dead. This live version was recorded at Stick In The Wheels’ previous album launch and has been set about in the cutting room by SITWs very own EAN KRAYTER (Ian Carter). Snipped, chopped and throughly shot through with electronic, dub and dance overtones its come out the other end an expressionist wonder! We love it here! Read more…

One of the live sessions Lisa recorded some moons ago got another spin this week on BBC6 Music’s Gideon Co’s show..
