With Lou’s latest release, ‘Step into the Light’, the bar has been raised again with this stunning new album showing Lou at the height of her talent and craft.

Lou also features on the groundbreaking Stoneleigh recordings (Kingsway Music) and on countless compilation albums with artists such as Matt Redman and Stuart Townend. Since Stoneleigh, Lou has been regularly requested to lead at other major Christian events including Newday and Spring Harvest as well as women’s conferences up and down the UK - but her most widely viewed appearances are on the BBC’s Songs Of Praise. Lou’s heart is to communicate the love of God through song. Her desire is to express truth, feed the church and bring revelation of God through her singing and songwriting. Her own compositions include ‘O God of Love’ and ‘I will say of the Lord’

Whether fronting the band Phatfish or performing as a solo artist you can expect to hear ‘one of the most distinctive voices in Christian music’.*
