Performing alone, with her band or collaborating with other artists, Heather Waters always delivers an animated sincerity to her music.In 2006 she returned to Cape Town, with bundles of new songs and an even more richly developed style, she released her first full album ‘Lyrics in My Pocket, in March 2007.2007 was a busy year for Heather as she performed at venues such as SABC Studios, Cape Town, The Gekko Bar, Hermanus, the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre in Cape Town. She also featured in the musical line-up of many festivals such as the Knysna Oyster Festival and Backpackers Festival, and performed at community events in and around the South Africa and continued to entertain audiences on regular short journeys revisiting England.Lyrically it's readily apparent that Waters doesn't shy away from hard truths.
