Artist Ted Win

Don't forget our tickets for your first UK Performance!!!

Singer Ted Winn was raised in Memphis but now calls Atlanta home. However, Winn is quickly being adopted by British soul fans who have fallen in love with the title song from his solo CD debut Balance (Shanachie/TeddysJamz).

The song recently shot to #1 on London’s Starpoint Radio R&B chart where it came in ahead of the latest offerings from established urban artists such as N’Dambi, Najee, Bebe & Cece Winans, Teodross Avery featuring Leela James and J Blackfoot.

The song received steady DJ spins at the recent Prestatyn Soul Weekender in Northern Wales. The mellow upbeat is generating buzz on both the UK British soul circuit and its sister Northern Soul scene. The latter community of listeners usually fancies obscure, up-tempo, soul songs from the 1960s such as Gloria Jones’ “Tainted Love.”

Winn learned of the song’s growing popularity when a British fan sent him an email. “Receiving a message that Balance is being embraced by soul music lovers in London is amazing,” he says. “I wanted to have something on the CD for everybody but that honestly shocked me.

“I can’t wait to travel to London and perform there,” says Winn. “I’ve heard that the fans there bring a unique energy to concerts and I’d love to experience that.”

THIS insightful book is the result of a 10-year quest by author Steve Smith to discover the origins and development of gospel music in Britain. Written in first-person, Smith believes this music’s history should be documented and merits the attention already given to calypso, ska and reggae, all of which – like black British gospel – owe their presence in Britain to Afro-Caribbean immigration.

Using interesting illustrations and commentary by gospel artists, Smith pinpoints key movements in the music, beginning with a UK visit in 1873 of the black American Fisk Jubilee singers, and ending with speculations about British gospel music’s future directions.

Roger Says:

I am a professional photographer and have been for the last eight years. It all started really as a hobby with me taking pictures of family and friends. People would say to me that I had a photographers eye, but I didn’t really understand what they were talking about till now! I just love taking pictures of people. For me it is about trying to capture a moment in time that you can see a person heart and soul within a picture and trying to do something different that stand out form the norm… Come in, and take a look around and let me no what you think…. Much Love.
