About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !Songwriter, singer, guitar. Record my own stuff at home. Have played at various venues and events including, Queer Is Folk, Ladyfest 2008, The Jericho Tavern, The Oxford Arts Festival 2007, Swiss Concrete, The Bully, The Ex, and Elder Stubbs Allotment Festival, since I started gigging again late Summer last year. If anyone needs a supporting act, let me know!"We start the night with something altogether more civilised…if perhaps, not really any more sane. Helen’s quiet fractured acoustic songs remind us of Johnny Trunk’s sub-genre “fuzzy felt folk”. The video for “Labrador Song” on her site gives the best idea: homemade, wispy, wise, melancholic, hopeful, melodic, sweet, and slightly inscrutable. There more you listen, the more you’ll find." Gappy Tooth, 2009
