Important News: Laura and Phil are expecting a baby Bollé!!

Laura will continue teaching, writing and performing with her covers band but otherwise will be taking a break from promoting for a short while. During this period we have decided to keep the existing songs available on the website, but will NOT be updating the messageboard or releasing any new material, and will not be actively promoting - but you can still contact Team Laura here. If you are in the UK and want to see Laura's excellent pop covers band do check their website on coverstoryband.co.uk. And of course stay tuned to www.laurabolle.com for details of new original material and other project news!

In the meantime we would both like to give our heartfelt thanks to all the listeners, station owners, webmasters and promotors who have supported the project so far, to all the great musicians and friends we have met over the last couple of years, and to the talented and brilliant remixers, producers and players who have helped us and worked with us during this time. You stars, you know who you are!

With love and best wishes Chris :) and Laura x

Laura and Chris have recorded a stunning "unplugged" set featuring an acoustic version of Christina's 'Beautiful', Sadé's jazz ballad 'Jezebel', and the classic 'Heaven' by Bryan Adams!
