On Saturday November 20th she received ‘Best Female Singer of the Year Award 2012 from The Irish World Newspaper in Britain. The presentation took place during the Irish World’s 25th Anniversary Celebration Dinner Dance in the Novotel, Hammersmith, London. LISA was presented with her award by RTE TV personality Daithi O’Se in the company of many well known entertainers including X Factor winner Mary Byrne, Sinead O’Connor and many more. LISA’s band did the honours as they backed the other award recipients during the night.

Recently LISA also received ‘Artist of the Year’ 2012 Award in the Northern Nashville Country Music Club, Thurso, Caithness in Northern Scotland. This is an annual award that is voted for by club members for the artist that makes the best impression during the past year at their prestigious club.
LISA’s latest promotional single entitled ‘Why’d Ya Come In Here’ is getting a huge reaction on both national and local radio and a DVD of the single already has 50,000 ‘hits’ on YouTube on her website at www.lisa-mchugh.com It is presently one of the most popular tracks shown on all relevant programmes on SKY TV’s Showcase channel 191, including Hot Country, Ireland West Music TV, Phil Mack International Country Show and Music Express.

She was one of the artists that were highlighted on SKY TV’s ‘Ceol Country’ recently shown on BBC Alba channel 168. The programme included Moe Bandy, Johnny Rodriguez and Joey and Rory from Nashville filmed during the Northern Nashville Caithness CM Festival along with a day in LISA’s life filmed when a camera crew visited her at home in Ireland.

Recently LISA spent an enjoyable evening in the Millennium Forum, Derry where Daniel O’Donnell invited her to join him along with Mary Duff, Marc Roberts and Michael English to celebrate his 30 years in the music industry. The show was recorded live for broadcast on TG4 TV in December.
LISA’s certainly not dreaming anymore, she’s very much living in the real world. Hard work and dedication is proving a very successful musical journey with a bright future.
