Conversations with Crystal - Episode #24 - Big Mama - Fran Liddle
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
Tuesday Jan 02, 2024
This week on Conversations with Crystal, I had the absolute pleasure of having a chat with none other than Big Mama - Fran Liddle.
Man, does this lady have a set of pipes on her! They call Fran, The voice of an Angel that got handed the keys to the liquor cabinet. I think that's just a fabulous description of her! She defiantly is a force of nature!
Fran is genuinely one of my favourite people. Apart from her fantastic voice, she is a really lovely lady who helps promote the Blues scene on her radio show.

Conversations with Crystal - Episode #25 - Connie Kis Anderson
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
In this Episode of Conversations with Crystal, I chat to a multi award-winning singer songwriter from Perth, Western Australia.
Connie Kis Andersen is a gorgeous lady, with a fine sense of humour. Connie has won some amazing Awards that include:
Dusty Boots Award for Services to the Country Music Industry in Australia. Best Independent Female Country Artist for Western Australia three times, Best Independent Country Music Album for Western Australia twice, a national TIARA award for Female Vocalist and four Gold Medallion Media Awards for the South-Central West regions of Australia.
Entering into the music business as a mature-aged, female recording artist was no easy undertaking, but through her talent, work ethic, commitment to her dream and her willingness to tour and work relentlessly in the promotion of her music, she has re-defined the music industry paradigm of success.
I'm sure glad that we have Connie as a role model for women, but also all Artists wanting to get into the music business. I feel very blessed to have her on my show.
With six independent albums, one E.P. and several hit songs to her name, Connie Kis has overcome many personal and physical obstacles, including Australia's 'tyranny of distance' to find herself the grateful recipient of multiple awards in Australia for song writing and as an artist.
She is also the producer and host of the world-wide syndicated and very popular weekly radio program; SHOWCASE AUSTRALIA.
Here are her Social links:

This week on Conversations with Crystal, I had the pleasure of chatting to Country Original Artist, the gorgeous Brenda Kelly.
Growing up in a musical Irish family, Brenda had the musical influence from a young age. With her wonderful family sitting around the living room singing with jugs of ale, Brenda cut her teeth on music in a close loving musical setting.
With her band, Waiting for Brenda, and as a Solo Artist, she tours across the country performing her original songs, some of which you will get to listen to on this podcast. Wildhorse Mountain is one of my favourites and I play it regularly on my radio show, Crystals Kaleidescope.
Brenda is a singer songwriter from Brisbane, Australia. Brenda writes about love gone wrong and right, tales of places travelled, songs of healing, despair, humour, poignancy, fun, puns & empathy. Having performed original music in several bands, Brenda enjoys collaborating with musicians from various musical genres be that Folk, Pop, Punk, Bluegrass, Blues, Americana, Rockabilly or Electronica with partner Damir Katic.
