It’s quite scathing towards her but it’s wrapped up in this lovely sing-along façade and everybody loves that one too.” I think she got over it and she ended up joining in with him on the song in later years, which she didn’t do before. “‘Go Your Own Way’ is actually quite a bitter song that was written about Lindsey Buckingham’s split with Stevie.

It’s a joyful song and that’s what we end the show with,” said Lisa. “‘Don’t Stop’ has got such a lovely message of hope to it. Their set list music goes back to the 1960s and spans the band’s 52-year career.

“It’s a bit weird isn’t it?”įleetwood Mac Songbook do what their name suggests – everything from the supergroup. “Actually, their phones are ringing off the hook,” said Lisa. Our chat moved onto the challenges faced by Michael Jackson tribute acts currently, in the light of the recent documentary about the singer. “They got rid of Lindsey Buckingham last year,” said Lisa. Lisa has also had to consider the pitfalls of being a tribute band performer when, for instance, a member of the group that you are performing as makes the headlines for the wrong reason. We are dedicated to getting the detail right,” Lisa said. Our guitarist uses a Rick Turner guitar, the same as Lindsey Buckingham. “Our drummer uses the same kit as Mick Fleetwood. She’s fine-tuned her performance and her fellow band members also strive for authenticity. Lisa was told that she sounded like Stevie Nicks by other musicians whose opinion she trusted. The three-part vocal harmonies of Fleetwood Mac are very specific and we have all had to work really hard together in vocal rehearsals in addition to the band rehearsals.” It’s twice a week when have a gig coming up. “We still rehearse every week, even after 18 months of performing together.

But when the band formed, it became a bit more involved than me just wandering around the house singing along,” said Lisa. “I knew a long time ago that I could replicate her voice to a point. I won’t go as far as saying that I ‘become her’ but you know that you have to put that across vocally, just as much as the musicians are doing with their instruments,” Lisa said. “I wouldn’t say I sing like her naturally but I am stepping into her shoes. “You do have to put that on a little bit,” says Lisa. Some of her more harsh critics say that she mumbles.

Stevie Nicks has a distinctive vocal style. You have to want to perform the music for people who enjoy it as much as you,” Lisa said. You can’t just do it for monetary reasons. When you are going to do a tribute to somebody, then the love has to be there. “Having a love of the band that you are ‘tributing’ adds a different dimension to it. Lisa admits that she did get ‘a bit fed up’ with Kate Bush songs and she’s only recently been able to listen to that artist’s music again. It’s one thing being a fan, but it’s quite different performing those songs day in, day out. “I named my daughter after Stevie Nicks,” she laughed, and, fittingly, Lisa performs Stevie’s role in her tribute group. It seems a natural progression for a woman who is such a fan of the group. Lisa first had the idea for ‘Fleetwood Mac Songbook’ while on holiday, in September 2017. For years she ‘wowed’ audiences with her Kate Bush tribute show. Lisa is experienced in accurately impersonating pop stars.
