Slipstream by Lisa Redford

In November 2003 Lisa's debut album, the self-produced, released and financed 'Slipstream', was released. The album contains 12 songs all written, performed and produced by Lisa. It captured a very natural acoustic sound because she wanted the recordings to be as near to her compelling live performances as possible.

Slipstream gained widespread glowing reviews, and tracks from the album received airplay on Bob Harris' Saturday show on Radio 2 and various other radio stations around the world.
