Becky's Little Rambles...
-24th February 2010 -
News, news, news!! Well my lovely's have I got news for you!
Becky Syson is heading over-seas! That's right… in May I'll be flying over to New Zealand to live for a year or so! Of course I'll be taking my guitar with me and can't wait to hit all the live music venues New Zealand has to offer. I promise to keep you posted on my musical happenings and hope to return with a pocket full of new songs! All I can say is… "Catch me while you can!" Check out my gig listings for a date near you, because I’m sorry, you just won't fit in my suitcase! He he! ;0)
Also… 'Weave Your Dreams' is now available to download from iTunes!
Or if you would prefer to buy the real thing… go to my shop and buy it today! Plus if you buy the EP you get 25% knocked off my debut album 'H.O.L.L.A.N.D' (the price that is, not the CD!) he he!
Finally… check out the latest addition to my website… 'Song Stories' a page that tells you lovely listeners the stories behind the songs and is exclusively found no where else!
Hugs and Happiness to you all x x x

Sending out big 'Thank You' hugs to all my supporters at the gig last night in Newark! Thanks for braving the cold wintery weather.
Just wanted to let you know about another fantastic Review for 'Weave Your Dreams'... It's got Five Stars from Nottingham Evening Post...
'Written with the people closest to her heart in mind, this EP from the lively singer songwriter and occasional EG model has a sweet and personal touch and is immaculately produced. Breezy acoustics carry exceptional melodies that uplift. Her purpose is unashamedly one of positivity. On My Way, a song dedicated to living your dreams, is the standout and leaves the listener wanting more. Although this latest release on Nottingham's Arboretum Records is short on tunes, it teases fans of this prolific performer and indicates there's plenty more to come.'
★★★★★ Simon Wilson, Nottingham Evening Post December 2009.

Hey Hey Folks! Hope you're all well and happy!
It's been a while I know, but it's great to be back, and have I got news for you! ;0)
This year kicks off with a brilliant review of 'Weave Your Dreams', my latest release with Arboretum Records in LeftLion Magazine...
'Some of the best times ever are those long summer evenings spent just lazily hanging out in the garden or in the park with friends and loved ones. Listening Weave Your Dreams offers a similar sensation for me. Whether it’s through magic, trickery, brainwashing, or just incredible songwriting (on evidence I suspect it’s the latter), Becky Syson manages to bring those feelings of warmth and optimism to her music. This is exactly the kind of thing you want on these cold, dark and dreary winter evenings. Becky seems to radiate positivity and this comes through loud and clear in her music. For instance, the EP opens up with Nancy Song, a story of lost love, but taken from the viewpoint that it’s not lost forever as there are still the happy memories and the possibility of seeing that person again on ‘the other side’. How heartwarming! There are points where Becky’s voice is reminsicent of Harriet Wheeler from The Sundays; smooth, vibrant, and full of spirit. Whilst musically, the EP stays on the acoustic side of business, with occasional flourishes of drums and guitars - especially on the jazzy On My Way. The simple arrangements give the songs room to grow and weave their magic on the listener.'
