Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to come and have a look at my channel, I hope you enjoy your visit. I come from a small village in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England. I've been singing and playing guitar for as long as I can remember and I've always been passionate about music, in particular acoustic guitar. Apart from my love of music I'm also dedicated to saving what's left of our shrinking natural world and it saddens me deeply to see the way that mankind destroys nature without a thought of the consequences for future generations. So I Make it my mission to stand up and fight for those without a voice and to try to preserve our natural heritage. The earth is such a unique and beautiful place and there are people here who would tear down the sun if there was a profit in it, and we must stand together against them. I wrote a song a while ago called Amazon. It came about because I was listening to the radio one night and they were talking about how the rainforests were being destroyed to make way for palm oil, and that there was only forty years before it was gone, and as a consequence no oxygen would be produced. In effect 40 years left to breath.(The song is in my videos). There's no easy way to save whats left of the earths rainforests, millions of the worlds poorest people rely on them as their only source of income. But a balance must be struck, the scales are already tilted against the earth and the destruction continues relentlessly. So please do what you can to to save our wonderful planet from destruction through greed, and to stand against those who seek to destroy all thats beautiful to line the pocket of the governments and banks. Remember when it's gone it's gone and we will point the finger and blame the ones who destroyed it. But what about the ones who stood by and did nothing to stop the destruction. Edmund Burke once wrote "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". The blame will not fall on the heads of a few. So please fight for what you believe in, wether it's the rainforests, the Arctic region, the ocean, or just the plot of land at the bottom of your garden, it's all worth the time spent. Remember, one person can make a difference. Many thanks. Mel.

thanks!

Good morning ... RAWArtifacts sent me to your channel and I'm completely overwhelmed with feeling. Your new video UNION TOWN is haunting and heartbreakingly beautiful ... AMAZON pierces to the bone. When I read your channel description, I began crying and what emerged was some rather raw poetry. Will be glad to send it to you if you like. I'll be back to listen to your other songs either later this evening or tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I have placed you on the Best Original Musicians listing on my channel. Hope that was OK to do... :)

Peace, love and light always to you... Suze
