LISA FITZGIBBON
UK based, Australian singer/songwriter LISA FITZGIBBON is putting the Power back into contemporary folk music. Currently writing her fifth album, her sound is soft centered but hard core, Power Folk with a tender heart.
Lisa Fitz has shared the stage with musical legends such as Arlo Guthrie, Roger McGuinn (from the Byrds), Chris Difford (from UK band Squeeze), Ani Difranco, Martyn Hayes and Denis Cahil. She has collaborated with Rob Hirst from Midnight Oil and Rick Grossman from the Hoodoo Guru's. Tonight she is performing with Jane Griffiths on fiddle and Colin Fletcher on bass.
From the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to the small folk clubs in the Midlands, from the front bar of Melbourne's famous Espy Hotel to London's Shepherds Bush Empire... Lisa is totally at home in every live situation.
"Raw... real... powerful!" -Metro, SMH. "When the world finds her she'll be ready." -Time Out.
COLIN FLETCHER AND JANE GRIFFITHS
Colin Fletcher and Jane Griffiths play traditional and original tunes on guitar and fiddle and have a unique style that draws on classical, jazz, and folk influences. They began playing together after meeting at Oxford's legendary Catweazle Club. Since then, they have appeared at folk clubs and festivals all over the country, both as a duo and accompanying singer-songwriters Lisa Fitzgibbon, Jon Fletcher, Abbie Lathe, Matt Sage, and many others. Colin also plays bass with BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner Van Eyken, and Jane has recorded with many well-known musicians including Toni Collette and Maddy Prior.
