In 2007, Lisa decided make music her full-time career by recording a debut album, forming a band, playing more live shows and preparing to embark on the long, hard road to wider recognition on her journey to success.
* Lisa was nominated for nominated 'Best Pop Rock Act' in the Exposure Music Awards (sponsored by TourDates.co.uk).

* Off to a flying start, HerBand was then invited to play GuilFest 2008 and Vivienne Westwood generously sponsored her designs. This first major ticket festival was a big success with three performances over the weekend, which were well received resulting in new fans and interest from radio, promoters and press.
* Since GuilFest 2008, HerBand have supported Never The Bride, played at The Pigalle Club and various summer festivals, and Lisa scored a nomination for 'Best Female Solo Artist' at the Guildford Brits Awards, from her local area.
