lisa ambrose
if the room had a resident artist it would be this very talented and fantastic young lady, lisa has played at nearly all the room nights and would not be the same without her.



for those of you who have never seen lisa, she is one of the most sort after artists on the local music scene and seems to play everywhere including her own "live lounge venue" in lowestoft, lisa has been writing her own songs for some years now, as well as her own spell binding covers of classics, she is really maturing as a fanatstic artist.

and remember as usual i shall be asking you before her performance to make absolutely no noise for lisa ambrose because i am sure if you take time to listen to her you will appreciate what a talent she really is and then want to make lots of noise for her.
