Way To Blue

20 Jan 2010

Myself and Una are on the train to Glasgow. There's been no sign of the trolley.

Tonight's the first night of Way to Blue, a set of Nick Drake tribute concerts in which I'll be singing a few songs with a wonderful band, string section and group of singers.

A few months ago I went to meet Kate St John, the musical director, in her kitchen to discuss the songs I would be singing. Being early, I was very lucky to meet Kate McGarrigle, who was there planning her Christmas show in the Albert Hall. What a wonderful singer and songwriter she was, and from my brief meeting with her she seemed a very fun and fine lady too.

I would like to congratulate Lisa on a wonderful night at the Nick Drake tribute in Glasgow. Your version of Black eyed dog was incredible, i never thought I would hear this song sang with such energy.
I have now become a fan of you, and bought your album, fantastic.
Thank you for your contribution to music, keep going.

I'm an ocean and a rock away too...and in school so I have little time to get out as it is, but one day I'll get to see you all play. I'll be in Ireland for a couple weeks this summer so maybe then!

Just saw the Nick Drake show in Brighton.  Franny is right the black eyed dog cover was immense, very powerful.  Never heard you before, signed up to the mailing list so I don't miss your next shows!

These sound like wonderful shows - if anyone could do justice to a Nick Drake song it would most definitely be Lisa.

Such a treat to meet Kate McGarrigle! Her voice will be greatly missed.

Hey Lisa,

I saw you in Warwick and thought that your version of Black Eyed Dog was AMAZING. Will there be any way to get hold of a copy of the songs from that night, it was completely different to anything I've been to before but me and the friend I went with were blown away.

LISA YOU ARE BRILLIANT
