"Some singers have only to utter a note and instantly, you're transfixed. They've reached out, touched your soul. Beck Siàn has that rare quality. In Beck, you sense she's on a journey and, for a short while at least, you're a traveling companion. She draws inspiration from the subtropical rainforests of her native Australia, creating what she fittingly calls 'Haunted Forest Music', through voice, guitar, whistle and didgeridoo. It's mystical, magical music, spiritual and enchanting. There are touches redolent of Kate Bush, to whom Beck is related, but these are mere brush-strokes of influence. Overall, it's as distinctive as it's original. With a soprano voice to die for, her approach is highly individual, the ambiance emotional and utterly entrancing. She's charismatic, convivial and funny on stage - in short, a real show-stopper! Her outstanding debut album is called 'Unfurling'. And artistically, that is precisely what Beck is doing. Unmissable."
(Julian Badcock - Wheaton Aston Folk Festival 2007

Let us present a little comment,
That in this very particular moment,
Presents happiness for lack of rejection
That turned into invisible connection
Of ThiSpace and ThaTime friends
Link so sturdy, that it never ends,
And a little video it sends...

(An old Breton legend tells us: Once evil Fairies distributed the magic student. This made Brocéliande so sad, that her tears were digging deep cracks into the cliffs of the rocky coast. This is the legendary genesis, the creation of the Gulf of Morbihan!)
Well I hope to see you before you go to Taz - I am supposed to be going there too - friends from Keighley moved there a coupla years ago - keep saying I'll visit. I checked out Stax - does he carve out the stringybark or are they termite-munched? Most of my stringybark have been sold they are poular here - I'd have liked to have seen yours but I was sitting at teh bar and couldn't see it - wouldn't have sneaked off early otherwise!
Hi Beck - a quick note to say how wonderful it was to be there at your concert at Wuthering Heights. You are an amazing performer. I really hope you can come over again before you go back to Australia. And thanks for signing my CD Best wishes - your new fan martyn
