I love writing songs and performing them at gigs, festivals and for theatre projects.
The latest news is that Lizzie Flynn and The Runaway Trains with Gareth Mewes (violin), Benja King (double bass), Sam De Santi (guitar, banjo), Mat Akehurst (drums) and Lisa Brennan (vocals) are heading off to a number of festivals and venues in Queensland and NSW over the next few months.
We are super excited to be also playing 3 concerts and presenting a workshop on songs for theatre at the 2023/2024 Woodford Folk Festival!
This website also includes information on Fly Little Sparrow with Lisa Brennan. Our last show was in September 2023 in the beautiful town of Kiama, NSW at Folk by The Sea.
There’s also information here about my three original cabarets, which have featured in the Queensland Cabaret Festival – Stop the Clocks (2022) Yours Sincerely Banana Brain (2021) and It Takes a Lot Not To End Up Dead (2019).
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.
