Songs of remembrance.
Holland and Winter Skies are songs from my Album ‘Holland’.
'Holland' is a song inspired by my Grandfather, Maurice Syson who used to write love letters to my Grandmother when he was stationed in Berlin as an RAF police dog handler. He would write 'Holland' at the bottom of his letters, which stands for 'Hope our love lasts and never dies'. He would continue this tradition until his death. I wrote this song in first person, imagining how I would feel going to war leaving loved ones behind and what would keep me going. This song is from my Album 'Holland' which has been remastered by ED:IT and released this year. It features Den Johnson on backing vocals and harmonica.
'Winter Skies' is a song that I wrote when dealing with the loss of my other Grandfather, Roy Stone to Bone Cancer many years ago. He was the kindest, caring and most wonderful Grandfather. In this time of remembrance I think of loved ones passed and how I am so grateful for their love and the time that we shared. This is a song of grief and comfort as I believe they are never forgotten and we can honour the people that we loved in how we choose to live everyday.

Creativity Time
Having a lovely couple of creative evenings 💓 Feel so full of joy! A little creativity time goes a long way to making me feel more me! Sketching, painting, song writing, doodling and just having heaps of creative fun in a non pressure kind of way! Does anyone else get that 'stirring' need to just 'create'... to set your inner creative child free??
I love it when my mind is free from its usual 'busyness' and everyday 'pressures'... When I'm creating something, whether it's a song or a piece of art... I'm in the moment, I'm focused and I'm free! 🥰👏😃
I really love times like this when I'm not overthinking, I'm just letting my hands and heart guide me just for the fun of it! So grateful for moments like these! X X X 💓

Book Review
The Animal Train. Children’s Picture Book Review.
I'm so excited to share some wonderful news! A brilliant Book Review of my Children's Book 'The Animal Train' has been written by Karen Argent of The Letterpress Project. She describes 'The Animal Train' as a “Delightful picture book... This will inspire plenty of artwork and imaginative play as children can re-enact the rhyme with their own toys... Who would not be tempted by the cover of this strikingly yellow picture book which shows a wooden train packed with jolly looking soft animal toys.” Thank you so much for the lovely review Karen 🙏🥰📖

International Women’s Day 2024
To celebrate International Women’s Day this year I decided to host an all female showcase! What a night we had! Thank you hugs to Tina Taylor, Molly May Hudson and Ellie Owen for their incredible sets and for The Crafty Tap in Heanor for hosting the event and for supporting live music! 🎵😍 International Women’s Day is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political… Stand together strong! 🙏
“Thank you for coming and putting on a great night of music. We absolutely loved it all 4 of you ladies were outstanding and we look forward to welcoming you back.”
“The Best Gig EVER!”
“The Best Gig EVER!” is what a lovely crowd member from last night’s Gig at Carrington Triangle Folk Club in Nottingham said to me after the show! How epic is that?! Thank you so much! 🥰 It truly was a magical evening!
I absolutely loved Lauren South’s set… hearing some of her new material and songs from her debut album ‘Tiny Boat’ played live was spell bounding - I urge you all to see Lauren perform live if you can as she plays her instruments with such a natural grace and her songs will take you on a story weaving journey from the seas to the starry skies! You will be left enthralled and inspired believe me.
Carrington Triangle Folk Club is a warm and friendly folk club... They run every Wednesday from about 8pm onwards with singers night (all welcome) and a booked guest once a month! Well worth a visit as there are so many other talented musicians enjoy!
Thank you to everyone who sang along to my songs last night - there’s nothing better than sharing the love of live music! Best wishes to you beautiful souls, may your day’s be full of positivity! 🥰🙏
Happy hugs Becky X x x

Summer 2023
Wow! What an incredible Summer 2023 was! I hope you all had an amazing summer time too! Sure the weather was a little (or a lot) unpredictable at times but that didn’t stop the fun! In fact, one of my vividly happy memories was of my family and I dancing away in the pouring rain to ‘The Comet is Coming’ at Green Man festival! We got soaked to the skin but we were all buzzing with excitement from the watching the band live! It just proves that music is food for the soul no matter how much the rain falls!! 😆
I wanted to take the time to reflect on the Summer as we enter into Autumn and send out massive ‘thank you hugs’ to all the incredible people that make festivals happen!!
I know just how much effort, time, energy and planning these events require to run and often the people involved hardly take a break…. so THANK YOU so so much for making these inspiring, creative and fun events happen!! I feel so lucky to have been part of…. Chippenham Folk Festival, Orbit Wellbeing Festival, Beardy Festival, GTSF Festival, Community Festival, Warwick Folk Festival, Deerstock, Broadstairs Folk Week, Green Man Festival! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope I’ve spread a little positivity your way x 😘
And I also want to send out big ‘Thank you hugs’ to my fantastic family and friends who support me in all my hopes and dreams! Love you guys heaps! I am so lucky to have you believe in me! Your love and support mean the world to me x x x 😘

I’m so happy and full of positive energy to share this exciting news with you all. It’s been a long time coming but hopefully it’s worth the wait! ‘Positivity’ is the title track to my new 11 track digital album and is inspired by my love of life, music and drinking tea! I want to inspire everyone to stir in a little joy, pour in a lot of laughter and brew a strong cup of positivity tea for themselves! ☕😊🎵
I have absolutely loved making this album to share with you all and have tried to keep true to my acoustic style roots and love of performing live… So if you spot any mistakes, so be it… I’m not a Robot, I’m human and I’m all about living in the moment and sharing what I love. I hope I can inspire others to follow their dreams and not worry about everything being perfect… Just go for it I say! 😄👍
I hope you enjoy ‘Positivity’… I can’t wait to hear which tracks are your favourites! I am hoping to write a few stories behind the songs on here at some point over the summer so keep an eye out if you’d like to know a little more about my process of songwriting. I still have so many more songs to record but for now you can enjoy listening to ‘Positivity’ and maybe catch me performing live over the summer while I tour around some of my favourite UK festivals…
Hope to see you at a live gig sometime soon! Happy hugs Becky x
BIG NEWS… I wrote a book!
May the 4th be with you… always 😄😉
BIG NEWS!! I wrote a book! It’s always been one of my live dreams to write a children’s picture book and I’m so happy to tell you that my dream has come true! I’ve been super lucky to collaborate with an amazingly talented artist and illustrator Elsa Rickett-Trueman!
… And today we both shed a few happy tears 😭 as we read our book ‘The Animal Train’ to the children of Upton Crickets Day Nursery! They loved it!! 😁😍 All really engaging with the story, picking up the repetitive rhyming narrative and loving guessing which animals were in each carriage! The BEST complement ever!! After reading the story we did some singing and dancing and then finished the session with some animal mask masking with Elsa! 😻
