Best UK Female Vocalist - for 5 separate years!

Connie Lush is now widely recognised as one of the finest blues singers that the United Kingdom has ever produced. That indisputable fact was acknowledged when she was voted Best UK Female Vocalist by readers of Blues In Britain for 5 separate years, earning a richly deserved place in the Gallery of the Greats.

European Singer of the Year

She is also increasingly recognised on the continent, particularly in France, where she was honoured in the French Blues Trophies awards as European Singer of the Year for 2003 & 2004 (and nominated for 2005). There are no separate awards for male & female singers in the European category, so Connie defeated all challengers.



She's a Memphis Belle

The USA has also fallen under Connie’s spell. In Memphis, she recorded with The Memphis Horns and The Hodges Brothers (Al Green’s backing group) and gigged at BB King’s Club and elsewhere on Beale Street. She also performed in Greenwich Village, New York, appeared on TV in Hollywood and was recorded live on Hollywood Boulevard. She was even offered a contract to sing in Memphis, which she rejected in favour of singing for her fans back home and on the continent.

Overseas Success

Building on considerable success in their native Liverpool, Connie and the band soon spread their wings further a field. They are now hugely popular throughout the United Kingdom, returning regularly to clubs and festivals by popular demand. They are also undertaking extensive tours and appearing at major festivals in Europe.

BB King's a fan

A particular highlight of their career was when Connie & Blues Shouter supported BB King on tour in 98, culminating in a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall. There can be no greater compliment to Connie than that uttered so sincerely by BB King himself: “That woman makes my heart sing.” The magic of the occasion is captured in the band’s album ‘Live at The Royal Albert Hall’.



Singer and Accomplished Songwriter

It is less appreciated that Connie’s musical talents go beyond singing. She is a highly accomplished songwriter, confirmed by many excellent self-penned songs that form the content of her live & recorded repertoire. She has also written TV themes and featured as a DJ on Jazz FM.
