Helen Lawson: Home

Hi everyone

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Old Queen's Head last night and helped make it such a lovely gig. It's really such a beautiful venue and it was brilliant to have so many of you there to share the night.

There'll be another gig there on the 16th August for anyone who missed out this time.

Don't forget, if you'd like to sign up to the mailing list, you can get a free download of 'This Town' - visit music.helenlawson.co.uk, click to download the track and enter your address.

Of course, you can also always buy the entire single or EP, to help fund future recordings!

Now, if you're interested to hear what else I've been up to lately, have a look at this trailer my film-making buddies Dusthouse have just made for the One on One festival at Battersea Arts Centre. Recognise the warbling? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyXYPPIVFg0

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers for now

Hi everyone

It's almost time for another gig!

I'll be playing next Wednesday at the Cobden Club, it should be a good one.
Please email me back if you'd like to come along and I'll stick you on the guestlist - I don't think it's a deal-breaker but it makes life easier at the venue for some reason.

There's a couple of other dates on the gigs page - pop them in the diaries now, it'd be marvellous to see you at one or all.

Look out for news of new musical exploits soon, and in the meantime, for anyone who's not yet got the EP and the single, I have a spiffy new store - music.helenlawson.co.uk But it's all still available at iTunes too if you secretly really quite like The Man.

What else. Oh I know.
This is how I put extra cake on the table - by making videos for other musicians / theatre companies / other people who need videos.
Have a look at this latest one I edited for Yoav from the footage from his Danish trip. It's a good'un.

Cheerio for now, see you next Wednesday at the Cobden!

Hxx

I'm back in London again. Hurrah, I hear you chorus.
Unless that was just the distant hoot of the overground.

Here are a couple of gigs - get one in the diary...
One is next week, the first time I've gigged in donkeys, as I didn't do much of that while in LA.

Weds 10th Feb, 8pm
Elixir
162 Eversholt Street, London NW1 1BL

Weds 14th April, 8.30pm
Cobden Club
170 Kensal Road, London, W10 5BN

It would be brilliant to see you at one or both of them - there's a few new songs that have never been heard live in the UK before. Treats.

LA was wonderful in myriad ways, but all good things come to an end and home again I came.
And now there are bass, cello and clarinet sessions for the album all coming up in the next few weeks, which will be ace.

In other news - to make the wait for the album all the sweeter, the two songs from the Sunny Levine session are now available as a single on iTunes - so get thee to www.itunes.com/helenlawson and feast yourselves on those.
At the moment, also, $1 from every copy of the EP sold at CDbaby will be going to Haiti.

Cheerio for now, hope to see you at a gig soon.
