About Me
Suburban Pastoral solo album available from Rough Trade, from http://www.myspace.com/helenmccookerybook or by sending a cheque or international money order for £10 GBP to me at Helen and the Horns, PO Box 3427, Barnet, EN5 9EX. I can't decide what I want to be. I thought I was an illustrator and then I turned into a musician by accident. Along the way I've wanted to be a fireman and HGV driver and it's getting too late now! I can't stop writing songs, and if I did, I'd not be able to stop drawing pictures. I wish I could play piano, trumpet and accordion. I always used to long for long blonde hair until I dyed my hair blonde and I looked disgusting. I nearly bought a motorbike (BSA Bantam), but spent the money on a bass amplifier instead and joined Joby and the Hooligans in 1977. I can't resist going into charity shops and buying clothes which I often take back the next day. I eat Magnum Classics all summer long, and mini-poppadums all winter. In spring and autumn, I don't eat anything.
