About Me

..


"Combining the permeating musical influence of her childhood with her fierce passion and finely tuned ears, Beth Dariti writes with nostalgic observance, composes into spaces unknown and plays instinctively. The story winds back to an engrained musical backdrop long ago when she was learning to cry and crawl to her family’s jazz playing and the records of jazz moguls, Chet Baker and Miles Davis. Not long passed before little fingers persisted patiently in piano lessons, though soon recognising her instrument of choice, the first guitar came at the age of 10. There started a fated musical collaboration. You may recognise her face from frequent acoustic appearances with her musical ally Adrian Roye, with whom she creates much musical happiness. She’s now embarking on a series of her own gigs.Keen to evolve, Beth has added a few instruments to her musical bow and you may catch her not only rocking-out with her strum-punch-caress guitar-style but perhaps with a mandolin, touberleki or bass tucked under one of her arms and a harmonica in her mouth. Most likely though her vocals will be on display as they softly drop the carefully truthful lyrics in powerful blows or warmed wavering whispers. Someone who definitely knows how to make a guitar move; competently, she combines a pulse-style beat of percussion plucking with a free-flowing and soft spontaneity."

Its a beautiful sight to see the dead tree branches in winter

If I type my name in Greek characters it reads ?----? ?--??--?.  This does not read Beth Dariti, but rather something like Veti Thariti;  not far off admittedly, but so much is lost in the direct tran...

It's one of those perfect summer evenings.  It's 21:35 and I can still see remnants of the setting sun on the houses across the road, a pale blue sky ready to bath in darkness. It's one of those ...

The way I see it

The sky and air has a brown haze this evening, a little strange and almost dazzling...  I survived yet another day of work, although I do feel I am going slightly mad; if I were really going mad ...

"she sat there like a photograph of someone much further away"

Thought.

When I was about 16 a teacher said that those years in school were a sort of preparation for when we were in the working world. That's when I started dreading the working world; I hated school.  ...
