About Josephine Bell

I began my self-imposed exile more than seven years ago, when I moved to London in the midst of a cold and grey January winter. Amidst the ghosts of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, in Bloomsbury, I wrote about the Boston poet Anne Sexton. Had Townes van Zandt been born a woman poet, he would have been her.

It was in London that I met Thomas Hansen, or Saint Thomas, who became my companion in life, love, and music, for many years. I moved to Berlin, and then on to the North, to Oslo. That city and everything that has happened there has engrained itself in my heart.

I had the great honour of recording a song with Nashville legend Dave Cloud, called Mrs Crumb. Dave is a genius, a rare Bukowski-like shaman with a heart of gold.

Right now I am in Budapest, the city of sirens, writing songs and recording demos, in my bare and bohemian flat in the VIII district.
