LIFT OFF WITH AYSHEA: Welcome!

Friday, 17 July 2015

Welcome!

Hello there.

Those who know me will tell you that I am not the world's most technical person. While I can design house interiors, and make plants and flowers bloom beautifully, the whole world of online and the internet has been something of a mystery to me ...

Which is why it has taken me so long to get something online which I could call my own! And now there is, and you are most welcome here.

I'm not expecting there to be many posts and updates here - this is primarily so that people can find out information about me which is correct - unlike many of the news sites which constantly get all the details wrong - and to help promote my appearances around the UK (and who knows, maybe elsewhere).

In this day and age, it's important to have some presence online, and so this is my little corner of the internet.

Here you can buy copies of my new CD, my forthcoming book, and signed photographs - and I sincerely hope that you will, and that you will also tweet me to let me know what you think!

I am on Facebook and Twitter - sometimes - tweeting as UFO_Ayshea.

So please check out my little home, please follow me on Facebook and Twitter, and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the various events and appearances which I have lined up.

Love

Ayshea xox

About Ayshea

Ayshea Brough made her film debut as an uncredited extra in the film Tom Thumb (1958, George Pal). At the age of sixteen, she signed her first recording contract with Philips Fontana and her first single 'Eeny Meeny' was released in 1965. As a singer she made many appearances and could be seen on numerous television promotional shows such as Thank Your Lucky Stars and Discotheque.

In 1969, Granada TV cast her to present and star in her own pop show, initially called Lift Off, but renamed to Lift Off With Ayshea with series 4 in 1972. The series began on 5 November 1969, and ran for five years and 144 episodes until 17 December 1974. It had a significant influence on the pop music industry, debuting acts that often went on to huge success, most notably David Bowie, and also featuring all the biggest acts of the time, including Wizzard, The Bay City Rollers, The Sweet, Black Sabbath, Slade and 10cc.

Ayshea’s television appearances included celebrity shows such as The Golden Shot and Celebrity Squares. As an actress, she appeared in an episode of Jason King in 1971 and also enjoyed a recurring role on Gerry Anderson’s UFO series (1969 – 1971). She also made brief appearances in the films Gotcha (1985) (where she is playing a club singer) and Demolition Man (1993).

After starring in pantomimes and summer shows all over the UK, Ayshea then built up a large following for her live cabaret performances which she took worldwide. She represented the UK in the World Popular Music Competition in Tokyo, sponsored by Yamaha in 1975 with a song written by Elton John, ‘The Flowers Will Never Die’. She recorded and released two LPs, and made 14 single releases of her work. A new compilation CD of her work, The Best of Ayshea, is now available.

She has been married three times, most recently to CBS President Michael I Levy, and spent many years living in Hollywood, where she became close friends with Bruce Jenner and Kris Kardashian, and ran an interior design service. She has recently returned to the UK in order to be closer to her family.
