About Me

i'm a girl & a musician who gets her kicks by playing the king of instruments- the double bass, & crooning along at the same time. i play with a lot of different folks. sometimes with a hot little trio from sydney www.myspace.com/jigzag, sometimes with a fella called Fred Smith www.myspace.com/frenchamsmith & quite a few more.
I love good coffee, eat too much & I'm not afraid to sing anywhere!
I'm often told that when I play I have a really shiny smile & that I look like I'm dancing a particularly sexy tango with my bass. His name is Sebastian. He was made for me by Neville Whitehead who is very clever. If you want to meet Neville go to www.nevillewhitehead.com If you want to meet Sebastian & me come to one of our gigs. If you live too far away you can visit us on the net at www.lizfrencham.com . This is also a really good place to buy an album (also available at www.cdbaby.com) & help me to pay all the bits of paper that come to my letter box with red outlines around the amount owing section. But if you are also having trouble with the red outline guys- you can listen to these tracks & have my friendship for nothing.
Lotsa love,
~liz
