HELEN LAWSON - CROSSING THE BRIDGE

Most EPs are a “taster” of a new artist/band, a chance for the artist to “test” the market before the possible launch of a “full” album. Very few EPs have had the effect as the four-track EP “Crossing The Bridge” from Helen Lawson, has had on this reviewer. Each track is beautifully crafted and compliments a voice which, at times is hypnotic and on occasions both haunting and angelic!

In May 2007 this website predicted a big future for Beth Rowley after she supported Duke Special in Leeds, Beth has gone on to great things and being played many times of national radio, including BBC Radio 2, do not be surprised if Helen Lawson and her alternative/folk/pop style achieves the same levels of exposure over the next few years.

This is as good an EP as you will ever hear and will surely propel the London based singer-songwriter to the musical heights her talents deserve.

THE RYES

Good to hear the London band “The Ryes” being played on BBC Radio 1 and 2 recently. Their new single “How Come Loretta” is receiving plenty of mainstream publicity for this talented band, who are well known within the Leeds Music Scene.

Leeds Music Promotions reviewed the band in May 2007, and featured them in the Third edition of our “Keeping The Music Live” e-zine.
