Dear Friends,
My husband Matt, Toby (dog) and I have well and truly settled back into our home here in Perth, WA. After a long 3 months our dog Toby finally got the all clear to travel from London back to Perth, and we are so happy to have him back with us! It's been an adjustment for everyone during this COVID 19 pandemic, but for once we're happy we're so isolated in WA. This means we are able to actually keep some normality here, and gigs are starting back up again! There's also another reason why things have needed some adjusting, and that's because I am nearly 6 months pregnant with our baby girl. This means I'm extra excited to play some shows for you all, as when she arrives in November I won't be able to say when my next gig will be! So the bump and I are taking to the stage for 3 special shows in August. For anyone north of the river, I'm launching my single 'It Goes For Miles' at the brilliant venue Lyrics Underground in Maylands on August 23rd.
It Goes For Miles was inspired by my travels around the UK, in particular the Scottish Highlands. I was taken with the beauty of the landscape after driving through the scenic Highlands with Matt in 2017.
The song is a celebration of the vast landscape, and the production by Perth based Jon Clements (02 Productions) helps to create the perfect road trip song. After a year living and performing in the UK, I'm so excited to reunite with the band to help promote the single, with special guests Sydnee Carter and Matthew Garrod!
If you're closer to Fremantle, you can see myself and Matt in a duo form while you have dinner provided by Kidogo Arthouse owner Joanna for her 'Candlelit Soiree'' shows. These will be on August 16, and August 29.

Can't wait to see you at a show soon, if you're lucky to be in WA. I hope wherever you are in the world you are safe and keeping positive. These are strange times and thank goodness we have music to help us get through it all.
Love Helen xx
