   About Bernard Binns

BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS

New album OUTSIDE LOOKING IN has just been released and is available immediately.

Born in Weston-Super-Mare, England, Bernard was brought up in South Africa where he became involved in music from an early age. Starting out as a drummer, he moved to the guitar and songwriting where he discovered he had a knack for writing original, catchy pop songs. The result of this creativity was the formation of the famous South African pop band The Helicopters which had major chart success with hits such as 'Mysteries & Jealousy', 'Only For You', 'I Wanna Live in Hollywood' and 'Whisper Your Secret.

While forming and developing a highly-successful marketing-communications agency, Bernard continued to collaborate musically which led to the release of his first solo album Physiognomy of the Soul. Well received in South Africa, Physiognomy also received significant radio play in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Germany. After a brief sojourn in SW France, Bernard nows divides his time between a village in an area he calls Druidland nestled between the ancient stone formations of Stonehenge and Avebury in Wiltshire, England and a mountain retreat in the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany. Apart from music, Bernards interests span contemporary art and digital photography to all things culinary. Check out his official website: www.bernardbinns.com

The second single from the new album, God's Land featured here is now available for download on iTunes and many other online shops. Cut to the Bone, the first single released in late 2006 was warmly received and reached number 2 on the Australian Radio Ison network world charts, number 1 on leading UK-based online station Matchbox and received significant worldwide airplay on Delta FM (Surrey UK), Isles FM (Scotland), Bravo 106.7 FM (Chile), Madison Mix 108, World Vibe Radio, Blue Sky FM, The Church Basement Radio, What Sound, Sick Radio, Mixed Bag Sound system, Deep Cuts Rare Blend Radio, Buzz Rock Radio live, Sara Radio, Overground Radio, Radio Freakout, Radio Blitz 24 FM, Tyneside Net Radio, Radio TE, Private DRM Music Radio, Deep Cuts Radio, The Eclectic Soul, Oversight Radio, Matchbox Radio 24, Radio TE, Mad Radio 108, Diamond Café, The S and S show and many more.

hola Bernard Binns ! qué tal? yo aquí escribiendo todo el día este mismo saludo a todos mis friends. ya hasta las teclas que uso en este mismo estúpido e insípido recadito están como los jeans que usa mi papá para bañar al perro. ojalá tuviera algo más deinspiración. pero te aseguro que si llega la usaré para una rola, no para andar bombardeando myspace con saludos desnutridos. ayós! besitos!
