HELEN IN LOUDER THAN WAR


Holding a doctorate at the University Of Westminster and being a lecturer at the University Of East London, she frequently holds musical workshops in collaboration with her partner Martin Stephenson and continues to release fine music via the Barbaraville label.
For his 100th Louder Than War article, our man Paul Scott-Bates caught up with the lady and had a little chat.
