Lil Fi's Comments Box
MAY/JUNE:
Firstly my apologies to all the fans who turned up to the Blues on Broadbeach festival to see our gig and only to find out that all outdoor entertainment was cancelled or moved indoors because of the storms. As we hadn't left Melbourne yet we were told to "stay at home and see ya next time". Sheesh! Anyway that's how the cookies crumble. I will have to see about coming up some other time later in the year.
Well.. Margret RoadKnight and Lil' Fi tribute to the Blues Mamas was a SELLOUT both nights with extra seating made available last minute. Packed houses and a great audience was a dream come true. This show is a knockout and has really proven to be a really special event with sellouts in Brisbane twice, Adelaide Cabaret Festival and now the Stonnington Jazz Festival 08. Thanks to all who came along and supported the show. www.Liveband.com.au recorded the event and a cd will be made available early June. Along with a downloadable cd from their website. (fingers crossed) It's early days, but we're feeling very excited about it all, excited enough to be preselling them. If you would like to order one go to my cd order page and put a note in next to your name - "Blues Mamas". I'll be redesigning my site soon so this will do till then.
I have been working hard on a new CD, diligently writing, however it has been put back to October due to my inclusion on Brisbanes favourite show, Women In Voice 17. Which will be on from the 7th - 13th of July. Always a hoot and a whole heap of fun. Please come along, it's going to be Mad MaD MAAAAD.That's all I can say as I am sworn to secrecy about what my set will be about, you'll just have to come along and see for yourselves.
I am also going to be coming up to Mackay in July with none other than the fabulous Alison Penney on piano as a special treat. Yeppoon in August aswell, so the north seems warm and inviting for the wintery cold that I am in right now. See the gig guide for details. Yipppee!. See you when I do. Cheers. Lil' Fi

PP.S. - I have put the words to my songs up on the guest book link at the bottom of the page. Lyrics to all songs that I have written on "Time and Love" and also "Magic Door" cds...Enjoy
.....a review in the Leader written by a John Jenkins it said "What a performer.... Fi's halogen smile and exhilarating style soon lit up the room. She's a lass with sass all right, she slapped at the drums, banged on the piano, she lassoed the high notes, then got down mean and throaty. She's a spirit-raiser, with enough natural charisma to electrify a morticians' convention. Every toe was tapping to her original songs...."
