First gigs in UK


First of all… I am so happy about my life right now! It’s wonderful to be living in UK at the moment. I spend a lot of time in Cambridge, where there is a great environment for musicians, a lot of places to get gigs and small nice pubs. The city has a magical atmosphere and you just feel that you can spend all your time there. People are really open-minded concerning new singer-songwriters and different ways of doing things. I have met a lot of great folks, who have been nothing than kind to me and really helped me with pushing me in the direction I wished for. Thank you so much!!! :) I have found a lovely and talented guitarist to play with, a studio where I can record my songs and the singing lessons are going fine, as well! I’ve been in the studio a couple of times to record some material and I am also working on new and different projects. It’s an exciting time! I have already played two gigs over here and more are yet to more. Both gigs have been at Six Bells Pub - a small and cosy pub that has an “open mic night” every other week. The people, who come there are usually regulars and have different talents (poetry, music, folk music or singer/songwriters). The pub is really open-minded for new folks to come and play. Andrew (guitarist) and I have been singing 4-5 songs at each concert and both gigs have been great! It was an amazing feeling to start singing live in UK. Right now, I am really happy about how things have fallen into place. Yours, Eva Lucia xx

Scholarship


Currently, I am living in England close to London and near Cambridge, in a small village with a river running through the landscape and green fields. I replied for a scholarship, so I could get the chance to travel, play a lot of music and have lessons in singing and vocal training. I am living in UK for 4 months and having lessons twice a week, so there is plenty of time to do something else meanwhile – and that is of course: TO PLAY MUSIC!
It is wonderful. I am working on new creative projects. (I will tell you more about this later!) I have a lot of ideas right now and my inspiration is blooming, as the spring. I have found someone to play with and have been in the studio recording the last couple of days. I feel great and it’s wonderful to be inspired again.
Currently, I am also working on another project, which will turn into an EP (with 6 or 7 songs) – and only songs I have written in UK. I’m really looking forward to see how it works out!
In the same, I would like to thank Skanderborg-”talentpulje” for the scholarship! It is amazing that there’s such a focus and interest in supporting young people and their passions.

is being so creative

Oh, I feel so great. Today is a quiet and inspiring day. My head is spinning around with different words and melodies and sentences. It feels wonderful!
Right now, I am working on a new creative project, which will end up as an EP with 5 or 6 songs. Some of them are already done and will be ready for blooming as individuals in the studio soon.
I'm so happy!
