"Tell HerStory!"


Lisa Theunissen (pronounced ‘Tennyson’) is a South African born singer-songwriter, and made the UK her home ten years ago. Over this time Lisa has honed her songwriting skills and developed her stagecraft; performing at a number of well-known venues on the London and South East England circuit, making a name for herself and gaining the respect within the music industry and from musicians and songwriters along the way.

In 2007, Lisa decided make music her full-time career by recording a debut album, forming a band, playing more live shows and preparing to embark on the long, hard road to wider recognition on her journey to success.

The latter part of 2008 is set to be busy writing and recording a second album with HerBand: Charlie, Peter and Jon. Plans are still in motion for announcing release dates of the singles, album and nation-wide tour, supported by press and radio appearances.

  • Next...?!

    Hi there

    Howzit going?!

    Last week's band interview and live session was such fun and cheeky as usual...BIG thanks to Keith Woodhouse for having us in the studio at Delta Radio!

    Over the next few weeks we have some great gigs coming up, showcasing our new material and would love you to be there.

    Following on from my nomination as Best Pop Rock Act for the Exposure Music Awards the band have been asked to perform as a local act for their M4 Tour, which is sponsored by http://TourDates.co.uk/lisa-theunissen. We'll be opening the show on 22nd October at 8pm at the Plug 'n Play in Reading: http://www.plugnplaystudios.com. Other bands featured are: 8:45pm - OK, 9:30pm - Black Bikini Alpha and 10.15pm - V0iD.

    On the 2nd November, the band are performing for the charity, Chase, who raise funds for terminally ill children down in Woking. More details to be confirmed shortly.

    Our next big show planned is at The Halfmoon in Putney on Thursday 20th November: http://www.halfmoon.co.uk. Please book your tickets from http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?reg.... Our band will be headlining at 10:15pm-11pm with support from Pete du Pon at 8:45-9:15pm and Hannah Dawson Project at 9:30pm-10pm.

    The night after we'll be down in Berkshire waving hi to the Queen and then performing at Jagz in Ascot: http://www.jagz.co.uk/music.php?band... on 21st November from 8pm onwards :> Raw Linx promoters run the night and it's really going to be a showstopper! £5 on the door and various artists are also playing.

    So exciting times ahead for you to share with us :>

    In the meantime, I have recently had a lot of requests about purchasing my first album, HerStory, especially for those fans based abroad or in South Africa who don't have access to iTunes! So, just to remind you http://CDBaby.com/theunissen have outlets worldwide and you can buy downloads from them too. If you'd like to recommend this album to someone, well that would be glorious and thanks :> Just go to http://cdbaby.com/link and follow the instructions!
