Lush by name, lush by nature...

Connie Lush has been recognised as one of the finest Blues singers in the UK, winning five times, “Best Female Vocalist Uk” earning a place in the gallery of greats, alongside Alexis Corner and Eric Clapton to name just two. 







She was twice voted “European Blues Vocalist of the year” by the French Blues Trophies Awards” and nominated again “Best UK Blues Vocalist” 2011-2012.

Blues is her first love...

...Connie is also a known songwriter, writing for TV and featuring at Jazz FM and other radio stations as a DJ.  She continues her love affair with audiences everywhere, bringing her enormous “Gusto” for life and music wherever she goes.  As BB King said “That woman makes my heart sing!”


 


Connie and the Band are currently recording songs for  their forthcoming album, which is due for release, early Spring 2015.

I personally have had the pleasure of enjoying one of Connie's concerts years ago - the music was brilliant and we had such a great evening which has stuck in my mind, so I'm really excited to welcome Connie and the boys to Dartmouth and can't wait to see them again. 

Miss this at your peril..!
