BEV LEE HARLING: Impossible Human ..
Bev Lee Harling is definitely the sum of her many lovely parts. She has been described by her seaside loving family as a rudderless boat, and for good reason. Having first tried her hand at studying classical violin, she then switched to studying Jazz voice.
Since leaving her studies Bev has toured with a jazz septet on viola and voice, played violin for an Argentinian Tango group, fiddled for a sweaty, fast playing Celtic band, led a roots band with a borrowed electric six string and a dodgy microphone, joined forces with JULIAN HINTON (her favourite composer/piano player) for a show of original compositions at the Edinburgh Festival, learnt the guitar, become vegan, been double booked with a kids party by a disorganised venue and found a roof terrace overlooking Alexander Palace at dusk to play at instead, conducts a string orchestra, busked to earn money on the cobbled streets of George Street in her home town of Hastings with fellow Hastonian Emily Booth A.K.A Bouff - cult horror film goddess, and most importantly since moving to London, writes her own songs, influenced by all of the things above.
Bev released her four track E.P Impossible Human in May 2006. She performs regularly in and around London, at Jazz Cafe, Cargo and Cobden Club.
RECORDINGS played on this page have all been lovingly produced and engineered by JULIAN HINTON, see www.julianhinton.co.uk. Mastering by ALDWIN JOHNSON www.inspirationsuite.co.uk

BEV LEE HARLING: Impossible Human

Thanks very much for friendship... I like this opportunity to share our worlds... The Life of a man is made up of a series of dreams which write our history, as well as our children, who then start to write their own. I decided to continue writing mine as soon as I began to dream in early childhood. One doesn't need to stop the journey along the way. It is necessary to believe that the stars which light our way will never go out, and to continue to follow our dreams which inspire us in the most beautiful moments of our lives. If not, why is my star helping me to write so many fine melodies? I composed a suite for my dream, called " Melody for an Oscar", and I am convinced that one day someone will help me to reach for that Oscar in Hollywood, which I have always imagined in my dreams. No matter what, my dreams have enhanced my musical creativity, and for that I am thankful. Didier EUZET www.euzet.com
