Beautiful horizons
An artist I really enjoyed sitting down to talk with at Creation Fest 2018 was British singer songwriter Philippa Hanna (pictured left). The interview was played out on CrossRhythms Radio Plymouth the following day and you can hear it again below. She is a contemporary Christian artist who refuses to fall neatly into any one specific music category. She has written songs in a number of styles including roots, folk, blues and soul, and some may even detect a tinge of R and B. Born in Barnsley in 1984, Hanna's first public performance was in 2007, and since then she has released five solo albums, all as an unsigned independent artist. Her funding often comes from crowdsourcing. She has played over one thousand concerts, touring with the likes of Anastasia, Little Mix , Leona Lewis, Scottish pop legends Wet Wet Wet , Rebecca Ferguson, Blue, and yep - she has even 'danced on the ceiling' with a certain Lionel Richie .
