Liz Lawrence is live in session for Steve in support of her upcoming new album - Vespers set for release on 5th June via Chrysalis Records. It is the fifth album by Liz, following Peanuts, The Avalanche, Pity Party and Bedroom Hero. The record is an album about tragedy. "It is dedicated to my beautiful sister Jessie and her too-short life.” Jessie was 35 when she died. In the summer of 2024, Liz was at a festival when she received a call telling her that her sister Jessie had suffered a serious accident in Ireland. She was in intensive care and Liz and her brother should fly out immediately. "What followed was the most profoundly altering period of my life," Liz explains. "I learned about the beauty of the dying, the resilience of the living and the infinite fountain of love that sustains us” Liz is live with Steve in the final hour of the programme. Alongside this there is new music from Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Graham Coxon, Any Young Mechanic and Big Special.
