A UK and European tour followed, performing live to audiences of over 20,000 people at venues such as the prestigious Cafe De Paris and the London Astoria. During the promotion of her record, Lora performed on both National and International television, and her songs have been featured on compilation albums all over the world. Other recordings include dance tracks for Rumour Records and Clone Records and a workshop recording for a new musical based on the ‘Profumo Affair’.
