Haelwen-Sian
I am my band: Haelwen-Sian ! Just a girl with a guitar and a suitcase full of songs- Simple!
I am a singer/songwriter with my own acoustic blend of 'Folktry'
( country/folk ) music. My songs reflect my life experiences and encounters, and I take great delight in avoiding the usual 'big production' and special effects when performing my songs.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yep, I have regular gigs at various local pubs , plus I play the markets if and when I get the chance. In fact, it's a pretty safe bet that wherever there's an opportunity to get up and sing , I'll try to be there!
Your musical influences
Don McLean, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, Kasey Chambers, Graeme Connors, Brendon Walmsley, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Sheryl Crowe, Missy Higgins, ..... just about anyone who can write a great story and make an impact on me!
What equipment do you use?
Martinez guitars,one in standard tuning and one I change to D or C tunings as reqd; a homemade stomp box, tambourine and harmonica , basic EMXsound system plus microphones for gigs.
Anything else?
that's about it for now!
