   About Timothy Victor’s Folk Orchestra

For free downloads and to get all the latest info on TVFO go to www.folkorchestra.com

There’s a place called Moscow in Polk County, Texas. I’m told there’s also a Moscow on the banks of the Moskva river in Russia. The Folk Orchestra have visited neither of these places and probably never will but their sound owes much to both the southern states of the USA and Eastern Europe.

This odd hybrid of sounds, best described as Country & Eastern, fits Timothy's bawdy Essex songwriting like an oil slick fits a penguin - it ain't necessarily the way nature intended but it works surprisingly well. The band was recently described as 'Leonard Cohen meets Chas 'n' Dave' - high praise indeed.

Regular collaborator with Cambridge favourites The Broken Family Band, Timothy has long been searching for a vehicle to combine his love of Eastern European folk music and US acoustic roots (and a good excuse to rope in several musicians he wanted to work with in one go). The band’s influences range from Hank Williams and bluegrass to klezmer and European folk, via the wonderful middle ground of Camper Van Beethoven, The Violent Femmes and The Tigerlillies.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,800 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 60,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

(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
