Lucy Spraggan played a wonderful set on the main stage at the Standon Calling festival and it was a pleasure to record a conversation with her when she finished. She had great fun engaging with the audience, lighting them up on the Friday afternoon of the festival.

Lucy talked about how much she’s been touring, the fun she’s had and the amazing places she’s played at, including a cave. And she talked about her process into becoming a full time singer songwriter, partly caused by her dream of becoming a fire fighter thwarted by a broken leg at a critical moment. There are certainly no regrets now, as writing and singing is what she does.

Also, on that note, as what is becoming a bit of a theme in my conversations, was a discussion on her songwriting process. She also found that it is easy and makes sense to write about herself and experiences and what a great way it is to connect with the shared experiences with the audience.
