The album is a compilation of songs about yearnings and desires, freedom and friendship, betrayal and found love. "Barbara writes smart, sassy, sexy, satirical songs that instantly grab the audience. Her voice is the voice of every woman. Her songwriting is without clutter and her voice effortlessly carries with it a lightness and joy that many of us have to spend years and years honing. " Joe Iadanza, Canvas Gallery

Recorded in the hills of Yorkshire by Brian Bedford (Artisan), “Bonfires” features musicians from both sides of the Atlantic, including English ceilidh fiddler Tom Fairbairn, Canadian bassist Al Parrish (Tanglefoot), Canadian-American percussionist Cheryl Prashker (RUNA) and members of the popular Manchester-based Dr. Butler’s Hatstand Medicine Band.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
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..?
