Helena
Jones, the undisputed Queen of Clustcwyr, returns after an absence
of eight years with a fantastic new album, out at the end of November 2004;
nineteen tracks of folk and country -tinged rock to liven up any living
room.
Helena has been at the forefront of the Cardigan Underground since the 1960s, as the lead singer with two legendary acts: Cathy Carrow & The Cookie Crumbs, and Helena's Box. In 1988 she embarked upon a solo career, and since 2000 she's also been the regular presenter of LTV's daily daytime lifestyle show Pebyll Mwll. Proudly 53 years old, Helena continues to gig across the valleys with her rhythm section: Danny and Martin. "The secret to eternal youth", she says, "is living in a transit van with two virile young men". The silver hairs might outweigh the blonde now, but Helena doesn't see that as any reason to start feeling old: "I'm still the babycham drinking little tart I always was!".
