Hush Now:
“Groundbreaking”
“Loved it. Made me cry at the end. So beautiful.”
“A very thoughtful and heart-breaking account of the terrible treatment casually dealt out to unmarried mothers..”
“Great production. You captured the isolation and hopelessness of that cruel time, including the loss of a child after it all.”

Songwriting workshops at The Cartshed:
The regular singing and song writing sessions run by Liv at The Cart Shed have made a different and valuable contribution to many of our more vulnerable participants who have life limiting long term mental health conditions. Music has very obvious therapeutic benefits to us all, but the way that Liv has brought this into the participants lives and helped them to get over their anxiety at singing in front others has been amazing. We look forward to working with Liv again.
- Ian Pearmain, Training Manager at the Cartshed.
The following notes are taken from the audio recording of the conversation that took place on our songwriting session with Liv on 24th July, 2019.
Kev: We’ve been singing and composing songs
Ben: It’s been very therapeutic
(Why’s that?)
Ben: Because we’re thinking…Liv plays us a song then we take it apart, dissect it and write our own similar version
Adrian: We’re all contributing together, You open up and everybody’s got something to put into it - I’ve really really enjoyed it. This is my third week with Liv and I’ve really enjoyed it
Jenny: It’s really creative, you (Liv) seem to be able to dredge from the bottom of our imaginations
David: I’ve absolutely loved it
Voice Yoga:
Liv’s voice is pure magic. I was invited on a whim and came with no expectations, yet was moved to tears during our chants and left heart full and full of inspiration. I’ve since begun singing & wont soon forget this experience.
- Joanne de Jongh, Nurse/Aspiring Artist
Liv creates a wonderfully safe, sacred space where we use our voices in harmony with each other to connect and it's a bodily experience but I believe it's more than that - it's a spiritual blessing. A very deep and relaxing time. Very beautiful.
- Hannah, Ex-priest , Chef
St Michael's Hospice:
Working on the song with Liv for the Light Up a Life performance was a beautiful experience. It gave the kids something to focus on, be excited by and brought smiles to their faces at a time that was extremely tough for them.
Singing together and spending time with the other families was so good for us all.
The performance at Hereford Cathedral was deeply moving.
