Lisa Knapp

Vocalist and fiddler player Lisa Knapp grew up in London, fed on an eclectic range of music going from house to dance to pop, via Van Morrison. Finally discovering folk, what followed were several years of musical exploration by way of the folk music archives at Cecil Sharp House in Camden. read more...

Becoming more involved in the traditional folk scene, Lisa started singing and playing fiddle at folk clubs, including a first solo show at Lewes Arms Folk Club. She also played at Irish sessions and guested for Irish fiddler / multi-instrumentalist Gerry Diver at his show at Hammersmith Irish Centre in London.

In 2003 she began recording her own material. The first track she put down was ’Blacksmith’, a York Broadside ballad published in 1825 and most famously recorded in the 1971 by Steeleye Span. Remixed by producer Youth, this appeared on his collection ’What The Folk Vol. 1’ .

In 2007 Lisa released her debut album "Wild and Undaunted"
