Publisher's Synopsis
'What's She Like' provides a vivid account of the euphoric experience of recording and touring the album 'Too-Rye-Ay', and the tumultuous story of the making of Dexys' masterpiece album, 'Don't Stand Me Down.' After Dexys disbanded in 1986, Helen started a long working relationship with Tanita Tikaram and recorded two solo instrumental albums, featuring acclaimed pianist Nicky Hopkins, before taking a break from music to raise her family. The break extended for 23 years. Once her two sons had grown, driven by forces almost beyond her control, she dusted down her violin and began the hard journey to once again make music the centre of her life, honouring the commitment she had made to herself aged nine to be a violinist.
