"With a smouldering intensity, The Liz Fyfe Band revisit the torch song and
update it with tales of modern love within a refreshingly jazzy, swinging
soul" - Davey Ray Moore

Liz Fyfe is a soulful songwriter who grew up in Buckinghamshire in the South East of England, and studies in Bath. Creating a conundrum of colours in her music, she simply writes music for ears... any ears. Ears with a liking for a touch of jazz, pop or soul... she combines her melodies with the harmonies of other players - guitarists, bassists, a saxophonist and drummer - and she performs either in a band or just solo, whichever suits the mood and occasion.
Liz's songs can be interpreted in different ways, songs to reflect, to relate to, or even to laugh at. Her music could be described as a musical millefeuille – when you bite into it there are many different layers... of crispness and creaminess, but with a fruity, zesty kick.
***UPDATE*** (17/06/09)
The tour is now halfway through and going well. Many CDs have been sold and can now be purchased from eBay and iTunes.
***UPDATE*** (31/03/09)
Liz's first gig kicked off at Battle of the Bands at Bath Spa SU on Monday 30th March, and was a success. Next gig is at Moles on Easter Sunday!
More gigs have been booked and CDs have been ordered for the "Just Taking Notes" album which will be officially released on Easter Sunday! Also to be available to purchase on iTunes in the week before... watch this space.
***UPDATE*** (05/03/09)
Liz now has a 7 track album and is currently organising her tour, which will start at the end of March and end in July. She now has a band together consisting of 4 other members: Dan Howells, Edd Harris, Phil Budd and Nicole Vernon.
***UPDATE*** (14/12/08)
Liz's portfolio is currently in progress. She is making a 7 track album, working on photoshoots for the artwork, designing her website and filming the music video for her debut single "Warning Bell".
