Sounds LikeCheck out Barbara Helens' solo CD,

"An Unfamiliar Place"

www.myspace.com/barbarahelen

Barbaras' CD has received critical aclaim since being released in December 2008

"There is a richness to "An Unfamiliar Place" that makes you wonder if what you're feeling is the same feeling that people got when they walked in on Joni Mitchell or Judy Collins playing Greenwich Village back in the days. It's more Anglicised, a sort of Mid-Atlantic songbook if you will. Barbara's North East location comes through on some of the songs, both in the way she phrases and pronounces, but it's absolutely as it should be. Lyrically strong, poignant and moving. You can feel the passion for song reverberate in the delivery as it stops you in your tracks and reels you in".

Neil King FATEA MAGAZINE

" I received your cd yesterday and it is amazing, what great songs you have written. It hasn’t been off my cd player yet :) thank you." Danny Teeside Music Live

....."Echoes of Joni Mitchell with nods to such as Don McLean - new acoustic to traditional folk to Appalachian groove, Barbara’s work has a refreshingly cool maturity often missing on the regional scene” ...The Link Magazine Jan' 09 CD of the month.

   About Les Cameron and Barbara Helen
Over the years Les and I have played in many musical guises, sometimes professionally and sometimes for the love of it

We made a CD together called "Beyond The Sand" a mix of Les's songs and some traditional arrangements which we recorded at Brian Bedfords' Studio. You can hear some of the tracks here on myspace.

We are at present launching a new venture together

Les Cameron and Barbara Helen

Playing popular classics from the '30's, '40's, '50's

Les has put together his own unique guitar arrangements and I get a thrill each time I sing to them : classic songs, such as:

Aint misbehaving

Cry me a river

Cheeck to cheek

Begining to see the light

Also, more recent favourites:

Over the rainbow

Don't know why

Eva Cassidy , Norah Jones, and more.

We are available for bookings. Please contact us for more information:

* GUITAR LESSONS*

Les offers guitar lessons from home, in Saltburn, one to one , or small groups of friends, tailor made to each individual requirements, beginners to advanced

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..?

(Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

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

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003

Hi there, here's another gig we're organising in Saltburn...

..


ZOMES are a three piece band from Baltimore, USA, playing live at The Alexandra Vaults in Saltburn on Friday 6th March. Zomes founder, Asa Osbourne, is a member of the legendary band, Lungfish, who have 10 albums released on Washington DC's Dischord Records. Zomes sees Asa joined by sound artist Andrew Hayleck (known for his field recordings of natural ice formations) and Baltimore oil painter, Jordan Kasey. Together they create lo-fi experimental rock which sits on the spaced out and looped side of the fence.


QUACK QUACK are a three-piece prog/kraut/rock/jazz band from Leeds. No strangers to Saltburn, they performed an energetic live set to a small and pleasantly surprised audience at the Victoria in January. They have recorded a session for Huw Stephen's radio 1 show and have CD and vinyl releases on Saltburns' own 'Run Of The Mill Records' label.

Cheers folks. Glad you like the poster...

BILGE PUMP have been playing their idio(t)syncratic rock for over 15 years. As well as songs appearing on 7" and compilations, Bilge have released two tape only albums and have another two albums on Nottingham's Gringo Records. Popular with the late JOHN PEEL, they recorded two Peel sessions and got plenty of airtime on his Radio 1 show.


PIFCO comprises Steve on guitar and vocals, and Mary on drums and keyboards. They write prolifically and have a CD album out on Run Of The Mill Records. Radio 1's Huw Stephens played it on his show and decided it was his album of the week. Not bad.
