BUT HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN? ...
... The start of Liza's musical journey ...
Liza has been singing for as long as she can remember. Growing up listening to her dad playing guitar at home was the beginning of her passion for music. Completely self-taught, at the age of ten she started performing at her local folk club. There was never any doubt that she would make it her profession.

Award-winning duo 'Two-Gether' enjoyed many summer seasons on the beautiful island of Jersey. Residencies in some of the finest hotels such as the Hotel de France and Pomme D'or provided a good start to her chosen career. For the winter months they secured residencies in Portugal and Tenerife.
