Hello again,

I’ve been saving up the things on this latest update for a while, but here it all is:

Helen Arney News for May

Shield your eyes, it’s very yellow. There’s news about lots of shows on sale including 2 new Festival of the Spoken Nerds at our luxurious new bigger venue, and a series of very awesome Edinburgh Fringe previews at the Green Man. Plus cardboard cutout immortality!

Today, the apotheosis of ukulele-based comedy hip hop has been reached, and you can own it right now as a download. I present to you… Animals!

It’s released today as the first track in a mini-album called Geek Like Me. You can download the whole thing from Bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon, and it also marks the start of the  2011 Geek Pop Festival.

All the links and lyrics you need are here.

I think is sounds pretty amazing thanks to Mr Simmonds & Professor Elemental, but I’ll let you listen and decide for yourselves… Bye for now.

Hello again,

I’ve just send out one of my enormo-emails, with details of all the bits on pieces I’m up to in February. Man, it’s an excessive number of things. I’m looking forward to March when there is just a reasonable number of things (Geek Pop EP launch, Cambridge Science Festival, FOTSN & Balconettes, James Sherwood’s Piano Bar… oh hang on that’s a lot of things too…)

LOOK the point is that there’s some ace things happening in February and it’s all here in glorious technipurplecolour. It’s not all live shows, there are things online like videos of my comedy girlband The Balconettes!

If you want to get these sorts of things in your inbox before anyone else, you can join my mailing list here.

And now I’m going to get back to learning the hits of Thomas Dolby on the ukulele for my friend’s wedding on Saturday.
