Story telling rooted in a sense of place and time,  a little trip down the sunken lane of folklore.

OLD FOLKER
Currently looking to get a band together. History includes, Amber Wine, Hugh and Me, Jiggery Folkery, Don't Think Twice, Tight Squeeze and solo stuff.

Recorded and produce a web version of BBC's Folkwaves show with Mick Peat and Lester Simpson.

My own folk shows on Mixcloud were Folkrise and The UK Folk Music Radio Show. Helping to promote new artists as much as I could.

Thanks to all for following me, I will be recording new tracks soon, please keep checking.

Talking Cat Recordings is a studio in West Yorkshire specialising in acoustic music.

Hetty Binns was a part of very beginning of the Launceston folk scene in the mid-1960s, and performed at Tasmanian folk clubs and festivals as a solo artist, or as half of a duo, or a member of Shoestring Ban through until 1989. Initially self-taught, Hetty started classical vocal training in 1994, attaining her AMEB Associate in 2002. In 2000 she joined the Launceston chamber music group, Kepler Ensemble with whom she continues to perform songs and arias from the late Renaissance through to the 20th century in English, Italian, German and French.

In recent years Hetty rekindled her love of folk singing, performing in workshops at the Tamar Valley Folk Festival since 2013. At the 2019 TVFF, Hetty presented a themed concert “Songbirds of the 60s and 70s”, celebrating songs written by and/or performed by a number of female folk artists of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell and Buffy St Marie. Hetty’s themed concert at the 2020 TVFF was a presentation of songs telling of different aspects of love – including romantic love, lost love, parental love, love of the bottle etc.

The CD"Love and Other Stories" is the fulfilment of a long-held desire to record some of my favourite songs, several of which I have been performing for over 50 years. They are a mix of traditional and more recent songs written and/or recorded by artists I admire and who have had an influence on me over the years.

The Kepler Ensemble album "Spheres" was recorded in 2008, and only the tracks on which I sang are included here.
