What a great Sunday I had! In the morning I was invited by Amanda Easton to be a part of the film clip shoot for her new song “New Bohmemians”. What a great song, a great idea and great vibe/feel. Amanda invited about 12 indie artists to be a part of her clip, to celebrate our […]
Jazzy Cello with LL Cool Jazz For your info, LL Cool Jazz is Scott Leishman on guitar and Anne-Lise Larsen (that’s me) on vocals. The name comes from the two x Ls from our surnames, and we play… cool jazz. 🙂 Well, this afternoon we were supposed to be rehearsing – our last rehearsal – […]
The Machiniso EP “In Lounge-O-Scope” has just been reviewed by respected Sydney DJ Georgina Reed.

Slowly but surely rebuilding the site after a fairly major technical issue that I didn’t have time or inclination to solve. (the error being some sort of table error when I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress). There was a time when I would have gone to the ends of the earth to discover […]
On Saturday morning I awoke to the lovely sound of multiple emails arriving to my phone. Thinking that I might have had a few ‘hellos’ from friends or family, I got up to have a look to see whether the day might have any interesting social activities ahead.
