Hey folks,
After an exhausting touring season I'm finally back at home and working on my own music again.
It was a pleasure to do so many "Dust of Uruzgan" shows with Fred Smith and the trip to Pakistan with Fiddlers Feast was another unexpected adventure, but I am now officially road weary and need a little rest before heading back into the studio to finish some LONG overdue recordings.
My solo bass/voice recording has been close to completion for months now but needs another short period in the studio to get it to the mixing stage. I've had a great time, but found it a LOT more challenging and involved that I had previously thought. Anyhow I can see the finish line now...
I'm also well into You & Me Vol.2. A second album of live duets so the winter is going to be busy in the recording studio for this little black duck.
So enough internet, back to my bass!

It's my birthday today, on the eve of a couple of much anticipated last Sydney shows for the year. The Red Juliet EP is finished but not really well launched yet.... next year for that one :)
This will be of the last posts on this website as it is now. I've long been aware that this website is not where I've been connecting with the world, with the ease of Facebook and twitter making them a more simple and enticing medium for posting content. But they are also noisy, brassy environments and I think I need to get back to redecorating this little dot com and making it my home base (forgive the pun!) to share my creative flow with the world.
So expect to see some changes come 2012 for www.lizfrencham.com ...

It's been way too long since I've visited this space- I should be ashamed of myself neglecting you so long.
It's all due to having been absorbed in some fairly major changes in my life situation over the past 2 years which narrowed my focus to the home front and led to quite a drastic reduction in touring, emails, blogging and general cyber socialising, not to mention releasing new material.
I got married last year and we further settled into our new home here in the highlands of Central Victoria. I've taken up a bit of gardening and have found it a lot harder to leave Steve here at home and hit the road with my bass. I never was a natural gypsy, but it's a whole different picture when you finally have a home that's yours!! And with the wrapping up of the Jigzag project after 13 years, and Frencham Smith taking a rest while Fred produces his Afghanistan project, there was no longer any exterior pressure.
I have however been writing A LOT. Mostly for my new duo project 'Red Juliet' with local Daylesford jazz guitarist Myles White. We've been busy recording an EP which was meant to be ready for our first festival appearance at Fairbridge this month. We're really happy with the sounds and songs which means I'm very impatient to share them with you. Compatibility issues between recording software has gotten the better of us, however, and the launch will have to be delayed til the winter. Grrrr....!
In the mean time I'm preparing for the National to play with one of my fave floating projects- Jimmy the Fish and also as part of the launch of 2 different new albums: O'Neill & Rodgers and the Eric Bogle tribute album. My bass or voice is featured on no less than 4 tracks, so there'll be plenty of stage time coming up for me as usual at the Nash.
Hope to see you soon, and I promise that I will be touring venues soon. Firstly with Martin Pearson late May around NSW and then a few shows with Freddie. Check out the gig calendar later this month and you can get all the details.
Time for to get back to my bass, bye for now!
