Lisa performed at the East End Studios in Milan on 20th November for the third edition of the Women's Circle, the annual event to raise funds for Oxfam to celebrate the work done with and for women against world hunger. An evening supported and promoted by The Circle, the group founded in 2008 in London by Annie Lennox and launched in Italy by Antonella Antonelli and Livia Firth, Global Ambassador for Oxfam. Women's Circle is also the occasion when retrace the challenges met during the past year and those proposing to launch in the next. One above all, bring to the story because it counts 805 million people still suffer from hunger in the world: a number all the more unacceptable, because never before have there are means and resources to end it.

Maurizia Iachino, president of Oxfam Italy explained: "We have chosen to fight hunger at the side of women. The countries with the biggest problems of malnutrition are in fact the same in which women lack resources, education and opportunities. In rural areas, women produce between 60% and 80% of the food, despite having only 10% of revenues and 1% of the land: if they had the same resources as men, they could feed 150 million people more. Why Oxfam Italy has launched a campaign with women to combat hunger. Last year we were able to directly help 220,000 people in 18 countries, now we want to increase the objectives and results, ensuring women training, resources, access to credit and to the earth. I sincerely thank all the women of The Circle Italy and the passion with which we have devoted time, energy and professionalism. "

Antonella Antonelli, founder of The Circle Italian added: "The Circle means get in a circle and each with their own ideas, their experience, their professionalism, is at the service of others, doing. Can experiment with The Circle, in Italy and in the world, a voluntary spontaneous and concrete, as well as the opportunity to participate at the forefront in solidarity projects as important, wowed all, since 2011. For this year too, The Circle of Women in Italy are proud to confirm, with the Women's Circle, their commitment to the projects of Oxfam. Indigniamoci. Commuoviamoci and continue to be, together, part of the change. "

Latvia to London & back to Germany in 4 days

9/11/2014

Lisa has no doubt been around the world a few times over these past 25 years or so, and it's probably starting to feel a little like that again for her as these past few weeks and months have been keeping her very busy. With a recent sell-out UK and European tour behind her that finished up in Latvia on 4th November, Lisa's feet have barely touched the ground.

Straight after the Riga show in Latvia, Lisa was supposed to fly to Las Vegas to perform at the 'Soul Train Awards', however she had a last minute change of plans. An announcement on Thursday confirmed that Lisa accepted to perform at the Press Ball in Augsburg, Germany on Saturday 8th instead (in replacement of the Anastacia who was unable to attend due to illness). Lisa and her band flew back to Germany on Saturday with a midnight performance and a 1 hour set to a packed out audience of 2500 people.

After a busy and successful year so far, we hope that Lisa will be able to take a much deserved rest as she is expected to go back into the studio soon to start recording her next album. Watch this space!

In the meantime, take a look at the photos taken by Fred Schollhorn from Saturday evenings Pressball gala:
