   About Risa Hall
Risa originally comes from Forest Hills, Queens, New York home of the Ramones , Lesley West (Mountain) and Simon and Garfunkel who all went to her school.. Risa grew up with the Ramones as her brother was in the Rattlers with Mickey Leigh, Joey Ramones brother and we all hung out. My first love of music was Motown and probably still is....I was an actor for years and appeared as Frenchy in the Broadway musical 'Grease' with Jack Coleman who went on to Dynasty fame. I toured with Joe McGann, William Gaunt and Julie Graham as Mae in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and sang with Sinitta in the Heather Brothers' musical 'Gratuitous Sex and Violence and Good Old Rock and Roll'. I still do voice overs and you can hear me on Red Dwarf, Radio 4, Manchester Art Gallery, Playstation games iincluding Stuart Little 2 , Timesplitters 2, Edge of Chaos and more...My first love was always music and wrote songs on and off since I was 9! After hearing Sheila Nicholls in 2002, my love of the singer/songwriter came back and I was inspired by KT Tunstall and Nerina Pallot and got out my guitar once again and the results are what you hear!

Oh I bet it was wonderful! You're so lucky. I've not seen him play for a few years now. I'd love to hear his version of Crazy in Love. I saw a clip of him performing it on youtube a while back but the quality wasn't great. Hopefully, i'll hear it eventually! x

Acoustic Sundays





Jun 27 2009 5:29 PM

Last months acoustic Sundays saw the café packed to the rafters all afternoon and we’re hoping for the same again this time. We pride ourselves on variety and that’s exactly what we’ve got in store with a diverse range of artists young and old. We’re also extremely pleased to see such a strong percentage of female artists coming along this time. I personally can’t wait, check the artists out below.
