I’ve just sent out a newsletter containing something I’ve been working on for months… an animated music video for my newest song, You & Me & Walt Disney.

There’s lots of other bits and pieces in it, like new free songs and gig around the country soon.

Here’s the link: Helen Arney – October News

It’s that time of year again… I’m on a train speeding toward Edinburgh for the month of August.

One of the main reasons I’m there is to write and perform in Alchemy, an awesome secret sketch show happening most weekends. It’s full of new stuff, new comedians and I’m sorting out lots of music for it. It is going to be awesome. For all the latest about that, follow AlchemyEH1 on twitter.

The other reason is our one-off Festival of the Spoken Nerd on the Free Fringe on Wednesday 16th August (see flyer above by brilliant Tom Humberstone!)

Of course, that’s not enough so I’ve found another 40 or so gigs to do, including Robin Ince’s lunchtime science show, Storytellers Club, The Great Sketch Off, Bitch Doctors, Tricity Vogue’s Ukulele Cabaret, Richard Wiseman’s Secret Society show, Comedy Countdown at the Gilded Balloon, Devil’s Advocate for Skeptics on the Fringe, Totally Acoustic with MJ Hibbett, Richard Sandling’s Perfect Movie, a tonne of mixed bill showcases including one with my girlband The Balconettes and…

…well, I could go on, but they’re all listed here:

If you’re in Edinburgh any time in August, come to one of them and say hello!

Hello,

I had a bit of time this weekend to do something I’ve been meaning to do for ages… which is find a home for all the demos, jingles, audio experiments and unperformable songs I wrote for kids shows that never happened.

It’s all here:

I’ll be adding various bits and pieces of audio from the Fringe throughout August, using the new SoundCloud iPhone app, and I think there’s some sort of Edinburgh Q&A shennanigans happening as well…

I suppose I should say “watch this space” but with your ears not your eyes. You know what I mean.
