From her early beginnings performing around the Northern Club Circuit fronting several bands Lisa Faye has packed a lot into her short career so far. Her story sounds all so familiar with that of fellow Yorkshire singer Jane McDonald with whom Lisa Faye teamed up back in 1997 to record an uptempo version of the famous Chess hit, ´I Know Him So Well´ which went on to give Lisa and Jane their first No1 hit in America!

With a wealth of performing experience she began training with local dance and drama groups back home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire before heading for London to attend the famous, “BRIT School” and then onto The Royal Academy of Music, in London, studying Music Theatre with Mary Hammond.

Lisa’s singing has led her to work with, Mike Batt, The Barron Knights, The Commitments , Tony Hadley, Charlotte Church, West End International & Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. She has also worked for the world renowned record companies, “Music Factory”, the Jive Bunny Creators, appearing in videos, on “Top of the Pops”, and as a session singer for ‘Going For A Song’.

When not performing Lisa Faye manages a very successful and rewarding teaching business sharing her knowledge of voice and piano with budding “stars of tomorrow”.

As a songwriter Lisa Faye has had her original songs produced and promoted by the BPI’s CD representation of British Music at Popkomm ‘05 and she continues to write and record today.

Richard Cox-Smith is a gifted exponent of many styles of guitar playing. First introduced to the instrument by his sister and greatly influenced by her folk-orientated record collection, like many of his age he was first inspired by Bob Dylan. As his playing grew more sophisticated the likes of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn became his role models, but it wasn't until later that he developed the styles you hear today, following in the footsteps of Michael Chapman and John James.

He is now a superbly talented player of blues, jazz and ragtime (without forgetting his folk roots) and over the years has enjoyed considerable exposure to the public eye, including spots on national TV and radio and extensive touring with Richard Digance, Maddy Prior and Richard Thompson, among others.
