   About Beth Patterson
"Patterson displays true fierceness in her singing and continues her mastery of dozens of instruments, most notably the Irish bouzouki." -Dirty Linen Magazine Known for her razor wit and musical versatility, her performances are chock-full of drive, savage energy, and passion, laced with humor and rapport with her listeners, dishing out an eclectic repertoire of original and traditional songs. Whether solo or with her trio Kalafka, she integrates her progressive sound with Irish music and other ethnic styles, resulting in her own sound she deems SWAP (Songwriter/World/Acoustic/Progressive).

Described by viewers as a cross between a cobra and a puppy, multi-instrumentalist Beth Patterson is foremost a player of the eight- and ten-stringed Irish bouzoukis (adaptations of a traditional Greek instrument).

Beth has appeared on over seventy recordings, including her three solo albums, Hybrid Vigor, Take Some Fire, and Caught in the Act, and the soundtracks to The One - Eyed King (featuring William Baldwin and Armand Assante) and the independent motion picture Lucindas Spell. A prolific songwriter, over two dozen of her compositions have appeared on recordings by various artists.

Wow!!  What a schedule!!!!   But, we need you back in New Orleans!!!!   Any local gigs coming up any time soon? I hate you not being at Yo Mama's!  I had to settle for a hamburger.  Thankfully they are the best!   

It was great running into you at Cafe Negril a few nights ago....I'm gonna have to get your new CD!   I didn't know it was out already!


Good luck with all the out of town gigs!!!

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? 

(C) David Franks 2003
