In 2000 Kavisha released her first live album on her own label. Titled " Canberra, Cork, Calgary...Live" this album captures the spirit of her live performance and was recorded in late 1999 whist on tour in Australia , Ireland & Canada .The road trip took 3 months.The performances were recorded live from the desk.The trip started from the Shamrock Rose and Thistle Pub in Sydney to Tillies Devine Cafe in Canberra onward to Rogues Folk Club in Vancouver ,Calgary Folk Club and The Full Moon Folk Club in Edmonton, Canada to the Blackbird in Bally Cotton Ireland.It's as if Kavisha were playing in the room ...the sound is very direct,intimate,passionate and not unlike one of her shows - just voice and guitar and accordian..simple....
