  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ***SHOP!***SHOP!***SHOP!***SHOP!***SHOP!***SHOP!***SHOP!*** .... Mollie's CDs now available to buy via secure purchase: http://baxterbox.bigcartel.com .... The four-part ‘Whispers in the Well’ project is a series of four linked parts. The first E.P. Parts 1 and 2 are available now, with parts 3 and 4 to be released later this year. .. .. I have been influenced greatly by Tori Amos’s songwriting and approach to her craft – the concept of a song as an architectural structure that needs to be inhabited, visualised and explored by the writer. Amos refers to her songs as ‘girls,’ personalities that may be of her, but are not her. Although I often write songs whose starting points are in my own experience, there comes a point where the song reveals its own personality, its own experience and I hope that I have come to recognise that transition and openly invite it. .. .. I am also a published writer, my favourite form being the short story. I think similar methods apply there – a short story has a structure, not always apparent, although the strange thing is that, when writing, you get a sense of it existing somewhere already and it’s just a question of winning its trust. It’s not so much ‘dictation from God’ (He mumbles anyway...) as relying on intuition and setting ego aside – or at least judging when to. .. .. Anyway, that all sounds rather high-faluting. I live in Morecambe; I navigate through the day via coffee breaks. I write, sing, knit, garden, draw, swim, teach, make soup, travel on buses. I have a beautiful beat-up ex-school issue cello that is trying to teach me to play her. .. .. I also present ‘Words on the Waves,’ on Diversity Radio, showcasing local writers and their writing. .. .. Prior to the Whispers in the Well project, I released album ‘Hating Baby,’ Tracy Don’t Take Sugar (EP) and two unofficial cds – ‘Little Fish,’ and ‘Bone box.’ The Moll Baxter Band .. .. ADVERTISEMENT: .. .. Frustrated by the lack of three-part harmonies at Moll Baxter solo performances compared with the recordings? Feel the need to jab your chin along with a bass drum and waggle your ears to a chunky bass riff? Heard Moll attempt guitar solos on her own and had to fork out on a commiseratory shot of whisky? What you need is to hear the Moll Baxter Band: .. .. Moll Baxter: Vocals, Guitar, Cello, Tea-Making. .. .. Rob Daniels (Electric Free Time Machine, Wisemen, Scout, Dan Haywood’s New Hawks Sub’s Bench): Drums, Bongos, Glock, Shaky Stick et al, Vocals, Angst. .. .. Simon Fletcher: (Electric Free Time Machine) Bass, Vocals, Covetable Cardies. .. .. Harvey Lord(The Existence of Harvey Lord, Electric Free Time Machine and many others) Lead Guitar, Emotive Chin Tuft, Vocal Refusal .. .. Special Beat the Credit-Crunch Offer – Come to one free gig, get in to another half-price! * .. .. Oh, yeah, and I’m working on some limited edition fridge magnets. * Terms and conditions apply. .. .......... .. .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.... - ....Solid Colors Myspace Layouts...... ....Myspace Codes.... - ....Myspace Generators.... - ....Myspace Backgrounds.... .. .. .. ..
