   關於 Sylvia Barnes
Sylvia Barnes: The Colour of Amber - new album out now and available on Greentrax Records CDTRAX314. The album features a range of songs from traditional ballads such as "Prince Heathen" and "Fair Annie" to a brace of Violet Jacob poems: "Baltic Street" and "The End o't", set to music by Carole Prior and Sandy Stanage respectively.
"The Colour of Amber" was recorded at Ian McCalman's Kevock Studios and produced by Sandy Stanage. It features Sandy on guitar along with Jennifer Wrigley (fiddle), Hazel Wrigley (piano, guitar) and Frank McLaughlin (pipes, whistle, guitar). It is released on 1st September on Greentrax Records CDTRAX314 and is available from all good record outlets. "You need great skill, wide knowledge and a deep love of your art to do this really well. Sylvia Barnes does it brilliantly!" - Sheena Wellington. "Sylvia Barnes has a superb scots singing style" - Norman Chalmers, Scotland on Sunday.
Sylvia’s pedigree in Traditional music is a long and distinguished one. Together with her late husband Jim, she formed the vocal nucleus of the influential Glasgow band Kentigern, and was one of an elite group of female vocalists to sing the with the Battlefield Band, before moving to England in the 80’s. She fronted several bands during this time and continued to perform as a duo with Jim, becoming firm favourites with folk club and festival audiences throughout the country and abroad, and releasing a number of well received recordings. She continues to be in demand as a solo singer, being a frequent guest at singing festivals in this country and in Ireland and was recognised as "Scots Singer of the Year" for 2006, an award sponsored by the Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland. Among the very top flight of Scots singers, she is a dramatic performer with a wonderful voice. She can render passion, humour and gentle sentiment with equal ease and has been described as one of the finest ballad singers of her generation. Her deep commitment to her songs and her involvement in them bring them to life in a way few other singers can achieve.

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..?

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.

Thanks for the add, Sylvia. Talk about happy coincidence: I was playing the Kentigern album the other day for a friend, and lo and behold I come across you on Myspace. Your new album sounds wonderful -- best of luck in all your musical enterprises.
