Belem is the name of a ship. I love the sea and the feel of freedom it gives me. I'm free to write songs of all sorts. We are connected

I play in Hereford, little old England. I have played in Birmingham, Cardiff etc, but now mostly Hereford. One special moment was that we supported Julie Felix, of going to the zoo fame, one night at a Charity night.

Well there are lots of positives, this web site is one of them. There are a few negatives like downloads of established artists songs. I mean the whole idea to be of writing a song is the hope it will become published, so why should you not get paid for it

yep

In 1963, just as the Beatles were on their way to fame and fortune, a local group from Hereford were forming and whilst fame and fortune never came their way, they outlasted the Beatles by some thirty years.
Well not quite, the group members have changed over the years and some twenty people have at one time been involved with the group. There is one surviving link to the early days Vincent Lane. Over the years he has been played rhythm guitar, bass and now keyboards. He is an excellent musician and his extrovert ways has made him a very popular guy throughout the years. He is still loved by many today.
Only a baby when the original members set up the band I joined them in the early eighties as lead singer. At that time there were five of us.
Wilf Watson—Drummer.
Ken Hartland—Lead Guitar.
Keith Hartland—Bass Guitar.
Vince Lane—Rhythm Guitar.
Gareth Smith—Lead Singer
Clubs, Pubs, Weddings and other social events was were we played. We even used a different name as Rainbow Creek to play at places like Newport Malpas Unionist Club, where we branched out as a country group.
It was at this time we all started to write songs, but at that moment in time Ken was the more prolific writer and has since had one or two successes.
My songs were there somewhere in my head waiting to come out. It took some hard times for them to surface, but now they are here the music goes on and on.
Today there is just me and Vince left, we do meet the others and in December 2003 we are hoping to team up with Ken and Keith in a special.

The Beatles, The Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Queen, Neil Diamond and with almost all types of music taste, no wonder there is such a rich variety of music covered
