Helen had a very busy year with dates all over the Uk, performing for many thousands of people.
The downsides were three venues not paying her fees straight away- see Sunday Mercury article dated 8th October (above) , and Sunday Mirror article dated 10th September.
If you emailed me recently about them, could you please get in touch again, as your original message got 'lost'

Derek Lennard sent this excellent review from his Birmingham visit.
Helen was heard chatting about her appearances in
'It's Trad, Dad" and 'Play It Cool',
and how it was a new experience for her, and how the director, Dick Lester was very helpful, and kind!
She recalls Michael Winner, the Play It Cool' director talking to everbody through a megaphone, even if he was standing right next to them!
Two of Helen's recordings were played: 'Let's talk about love, and I don't care'

Derek Lennard emailed me:
"I Thought your readers might be interested that when I tried to book this concert I was told that it would cost £36.45 per person including a 2 course meal. However when I mentioned that I had seen on their website that there were special deals the price went down to £19.95 per person(again inclusive of a meal). As there are 4 of us going a massive saving was made! "
