At Last I Have Clarity...
This is so beautiful. "Silence" by Selena Cross with clips from Final Fantasy VIII and X.Learning to let go, being too afraid to speak..knowing that they will never know, that you gave them your love, even if it was only in silence

I'd like to meet:

Helen Penfold - Into Space D im the lights.... Drift off Into Space and let Helen's music permeate your body Like Medicine gently healing your world-weary soul. Who is That Girl? Who Are You? You recall the harsh words, The Break Up and know you need Something To Go On. You imagine yourself travelling South For The Winter and your whole being luxuriates in the experience. Everyday worries become Trivial and disappear Out Of Sight as you realise No Butterflies, wings ashimmer, could match the ethereal beauty that Helen's music embodies. This Lady’s music is awesome, unlike my dreadful prose. Her CD contains ten sublime tracks (you might just guess their titles), plus a bonus ambient version of Into Space. Email Helen for details [email protected] purchase online from iTunes (there's a link on Helen's profile. Just click the picture above to go there now.)Acoustic Lounge 3rd July 2007Rock and Pop Festival NEC 14th July 2007

Mark my words - Rachel Hatfield is destined for great things.
"Playful Princess"
Dani - Promoter of London Unplugged and Monster Band Nights fame. Actress, model, singer/songwriter, Goddess and the best friend anyone could ever wish for!

I just had to put this photo somewhere on here. The lovely Tara Marie (check out her myspace by clicking the picture).How gorgeous is this image?



I'm not very good at keeping this up to date. Most of my myspace friends are musicians that I really like so check them out as well as this abbreviated list.
My taste in music is fairly eclectic (thanks to Rose for reminding me what a fantastic word that is), but tends towards female singer/songwriters or rock bands.

Cadbury World

Not really a blog this week.  More just to say, yes we went to Cadbury World.  No, it wasn't what I expected.  Yes, it was worth going if only for the free chocolate, though of course i...
