HOT! HOT! IN THE BEACH!LISA AMBROSE (18 YRS OLD FROM SUFFOLK)OPENS LIVERPOOL SHOW FOR MARK RONSON AS WINNER OF THE "BATTLE OF THE BANDSTAND" COMPETITION JUICE FM LIVERPOOL
Corsa presents BANDSTAND steered by Sunday Best (BBC Radio 1's Rob Da Bank)
The Festival was held at Carling Academy, Liverpool
Last night Saturday 10th May
When Lisa Ambrose first appeared at Casa Mia Music Bar in Southwold Suffolk 4 months ago she arrived with one harmonica and asked to play at one of my open-mic sessions - held every Thursday night for up and coming singer/songwriters and musicians (Unsigned)
she played a couple of her own tunes a blew the audience away., I asked her if she played any other
instruments to which she replied... "Yeah, I also play guitar an write my own tunes" I told her
to come again the next week with her guitar and perform a few of her songs... she did! the audience
we're quite amazed, as she had been coming to open mic sessions as a member of the audience
for a few months.... I knew there and then this girl had something special. Three weeks later (February/March)
I brought her into studio to record her first demo "Dancing under the Moonlight" "Be my Valentine and
"Goodbye Robbie".... she wrote all three almost overnight and keeps churning them out. She then
set about creating her own myspace and got beavering away applying to 'everything music'. Lisa Ambrose entered
Rob da Bank's (Sunday Best & Bestivel) Battle of The Banstand... and yesterday afternoon won herself
a slot on the bill at last night's event featuring:
MARK RONSON
ROB DA BANK
KISSY SELL OUT
THE CUBAN BROTHERS
KITTY DAISY AND LEWIS
THE TROUBADOURS
SOMBRERO SOUND SYSTEM
STEVE PARRY
(**LISA AMBROSE - OPENED THE SHOW)
Who could have guessed 4 months ago that this complete unknown school girl would end up
supporting Mark Ronson et al... at an event that attracted over 2000 people.....
Lisa stepped on to the massive stage with nerves of steel - played an emaculate fifteen minute set;
"By The Seaside" "Moonlight" "Liar Liar" and her belter of a harmonica track "Boogy Beat".
She looked and sounded like she had been doing it all her life!
Is this the next big act to emerge out of Suffolk? **BBC's Radio 1 Jock; Rob Da Bank
is credited with filling the highly respected "Demo Bands/Breakthrough Artists Slot" of the late
great Suffolk based DJ John Peel, whose tirelesswork of breaking new acts will go down
in ROCK & ROLL history... So to Mr Rob da Bank.... we salute you and thank you for giving Miss Ambrose
her first real break!
Lisa is 18yrs old., comes from Bungay in Suffolk, she attends Bungay High School and has a cat
called Psycho. For more about Lisa including her songs see her www.myspace.com/misslisaambrose

Lisa played her first gig ever, right here at Casa Mia some 5 weeks ago - and in that short space of time has not only managed to build a phenomenol fan base - we're booked into Rock Lobster Recording Studios (Southwold) next Friday to record her first demo - I am so excited I can't wait to workwith her in studio. we're recording three of her tunes, the first track we're laying down is going to be her first single "Dancing Under The Moonlight", such a catchy melody, which is quite infectious - we recorded a live version at last Thursday's Open Mic - Tom Horton broughthis portable studio in and caught the moment perfectly - those results can be heard on Lisa's MySpace in a few days time (see myspace/misslisaambrose) The other two tunes we're recroding are;"Be My Valentine" and her haunting lament to her late uncle Robbie, simply titled "Goodbye Robbie". A special thanks to the surpirse appearance last Thursday from the incredible Andy Bannister who literally stunned the room with his Blues Harmonica and irrestistable Vocals - the room just would not let him leave the stage. A special thanks also goes out to the fabulous IndieGirls who took a break from their studies and gave us a dynamic 20 minute set including a new track which I feel is probably going to be their "pension" hit... more about that later.... No open mic is ever complete without a spot from our unofficial Music Director Tom Horton and his singing partner in crime - the ever entertainingOliver Densham.

Tory Cobb and Mary Podd did a phenomenal rendition of Songbird (Oasis) and I have to admit they covered one of my own tracks and blew me and the audience away.... Mercurial Ways was written on and for piano.. however both these fine young guitarists did a cheeky little arrangement and It's got to be said... I was quite taken aback. No surprise to learn that they are currently working with genius ex EMI producer John Fraser (Paul McCartney's 'Ecce Cor Meum' album) and that they will now be releasing their 6 track EP "Vanilla" within the next few weeks. They are back again with us here next Thursday by vote and request, so thank you each and everyone of you for your text and emails ... we love when a great act springs through our open mic sessions - that's what we're here for - breaking new talent and.......
