About Helen

Helen grew up in England and Mid Wales, and inherited her singing from her father Jules and grandfather Bill, both of Liverpool.

Eclectic musical tastes led to a spell performing as a singer-songwriter, and as a bass player in a rock band. She also pursued an interest in the Bosnian, Sephardic and Yiddish song traditions, before returning to her roots in the Irish tradition.

Helen is a magnificent performer whose warm, versatile voice and emotionally satisfying phrasing have enthralled her many audiences, including those at the Ennis Trad Festival, Willie Clancy Week in Miltown Malbay, the Liverpool Irish Festival, and many sessions around London, where she now lives.
