MARCH
Lots of people are asking me about singing tips so here’s the first. “Did you know that tension in your shoulders, neck and jaw can seriously hamper your ability to sing freely and reach those high notes.Resist the temptation to pull your chin up to reach the high notes instead bring your chin comfortably down and yawn to release tension” Hope this helps

FEBRUARY
In rehearsals for the Autumn. Still putting the finishing touches to the tracks. Watch out for the new videos coming up to support the EP Still pondering over a title.

JANUARY 2017
People ask me about the different looks and costumes …well my music tells stories of iconic women from the past that we have all heard about and they look different so I reflect this. You’d have to listen to the lyrics to fully discover who I’m specifically talking about but I hope to reveal something new and interesting about their lives as the songs unfold.

AUTUMN 2016
Pouring over my lyrics in a Costa Coffee Cafe in Andalusia before rehearsals for another showcase. Can't wait! .

SUMMER 2016
You may have noticed I'm in love with Kaftans and I'm thinking of starting my own clothing line inspired by the unusual dresses I buy and the places I travel to and people I meet. My Grand Mother had a dress making shop in Kampala. Maybe it’s in the genes especially as I made all my early stage clothes adapting Vogue patterns with my mother who taught me to finish which I was never very good at. I would never dress my Cindy in the clothes you could buy Oh No! I always had to modify and change things, lengthening hems embellishing collars even choosing different fabrics. It was fun and it kept me out of trouble! .

FEBRUARY 2016
Lola May is now focussing on her next EP arranging the songs, doing some research and drafting some lyrics. Here she is after a song writing session in her basement studio. “It’s hard work but I love it. The smallest of things can be an inspiration. A word, a string line, a piano motif even the colours in the sky or a distant memory that floats into my imagination for a moment. I believe creativity is at the heart of all of us, we just need to find our own unique form of expression" .

AUGUST 2015
At last Lola May got to visit Shuttleworth College to see for herself the  historic local cooking pear that is mentioned by the Clown in Shakespeare's The Winter’s Tale.

First cultivated by monks at the Cistercian Abbey  around the 13th century pies made from the pear were extremely popular in the Tudor period.

There are now believed to be just five trees producing the fruit left in the area, and staff and students  are trying to propagate new trees through grafting.
