Today:
"This year, Helen Begley, releases her latest album, “West Brunswick” to Australian audiences. Set in West Brunswick, the album pays homage to 20 years spent living and working in Melbourne’s inner north. “West Brunswick” will be presented in intimate suburban spaces and concert settings and performances will be predominately unplugged. The songs on the album are set to understated arrangements that allow the poeticism of the lyrics to breath as they wrap themselves around the listener like a Northern Suburbs lullaby. As well as songs, Helen will share stories and poems inspired by West Brunswick. Her partner in crime James Norton, makes a guest appearance during the set when harmonica playing and banjo pickin’ is required."
- Applied for Uranquinty folk festival. This is the short West Brunswick bio I sent em as part of the application:
