What ever happened to Deena Webster?

Subject: What ever happened to Deena Webster?
From: GUEST,Guest

Does anyone know of a UK folk singer from the late 1960's called, Deena Webster? She had only one album out as far as I know called,
"Tuesday's Child." I have that one album and one single. I think she had a few singles out beside the one LP.
Seemed like she completely faded into obscurity. She had a lovely voice and played guitar. I don't know if she ever played folk clubs in England or not. If anyone has any information about her, what ever became of her, etc. I would like to know. Could not find much about her on the internet accept for mention of the album and single 45 record she recorded; not much else.
Thank you.

Hi:

I just read your posting about Deena Webster. I would love to find more recordings of hers. Is there any way I could get them through you? I would appreciate it and what it would cost?
Are you in touch with her?

Guest Diana posted a message on March 10, 2010 that Deena Webster is living in Asia and has folk spots there.
Diana, if you read this or if anyone else knows more information about any current music Deena is doing, please post info. here.
Does she still go by the name Deena Webster? Or goes under a husband's name now? I'd be also curious as to why she made a move to Asia? Was it a music related move? Music opportunities in Asia?

Are there any current photos of her performing at any of the Asian clubs? I only wish there had been other album releases other then the one lovely, "Tuesday's Child" album. Of course she also had a few singles, not sure exactly how many.

Clive:

If you find any new information about Deena Webster please post it. It has been mentioned she moved to Asia and was performing there but don't know if that was current information or that she was performing there many years ago. Just no luck in finding anything about her in recent years. She had a lovely voice and had the one LP called, "Tuesday's Child" (which I still have) and a few singles all dating back to the late 60's (the album anyway).

Thanks!

I did read that Deena Webster is now living in Hong Kong, where I believe she lived as a child.

I remember her singles back in 1968. Her first single was a Janis Ian composition 'your losing'which got alot of airplay on radio 1 back in June of that year. That was followed by 'Your heart is free'(Just like the wind), A very beautiful song that also got alot of airplay in August '68 but did not chart. I remember Deena appearing on the radio 1 lunchtime slot 'Radio 1 club' and telling listeners that she had lived in Hong Kong. I guess she must have been in her late teens then. Weeks later another teenage singer- Mary Hopkin got to number 1 with a beautiful song 'those were the days'. She of course had Beatle connections.

Seems like many posts are saying that Deena Webster in living in Hong Kong.
Is she currently performing there? It seems like if she was still involved with music that there would have been another album released by now, if only just to re-release, Tueday's Child on CD.

Wonder if she is still playing folk music or some related acoustic music in Hong Kong. Just wish I knew how to contact her or her mgmt in Hong Kong for further information. I have that one album and a single record from the late 1960's.

Would love to hear her current music or any Cds she might have only released in Hong Kong.

I, too, would be interested to know what became of Deena Webster, having recently acquired the sound tape archive of Fred Marshall, a little-known Asia-based filmmaker and record producer. One of the reels (recorded in Hong Kong c.1973/4 for his film "The Free Life") lists the contribution of a female vocalist named Deena: http://www.myspace.com/my/photos/photo/28726154/Album

I was at school with Deena (Diana)and remember sitting under the cedar tree listening to her play and sing. She must be about 61/2-ish by now. I also remember seeing her on the David Jacobs show; it came as no great surprise that she achieved some fame, as she was clearly a very talented girl. A pity that she faded away; the school has gone, too!

I am trying to find out more about Deena Webster. Especially from the person who arranged her first LP. If you read this can you recall anything about the sessions. Did you arrange the orchestration on the Track Tuesdays Child as well as the brass. Also the album was very sparce so did Deena play herself alone on some of the tracks. Were you there for the entire sessions. was she nervous or an experienced player. Did you enjoy working with her.

also the person who knew her as Diana- what school were you at and where was it. Sorry ot pry but really want to find out more about Deena Webster the artist.

Can be called if you want to talk rather than post 07575790824.

I have found out that she was registered as a folk singer in the UK for 2 years professionally - at least in 1968/9 but that may have been when she was with Parlophone. There is evidence that she played as Dina Webster as early as 1966 in Newcastle but that may have been a typo in the programme. (that I have heard of but never seen). Oh, this is so maddening! Was the Jacobs programme on TV or live. If anyone saw here perform on his show for how many weeks was it. Does anyone recall anymore about her interviews.

To Guest - Ian S.

I too have been trying to find out more about this very talented aritst. Perhaps others who worked with her on the album besides the person who was the arranger might be of some help. Other musicans, etc.
This is how I came to know of Deena Webster although I live in USA.
I was visiting London, England during the 70s' but I was very very young and didn't have too much money to spend. I saw the LP in a record shop that was in the Queensway or Bayswater area.
I wanted to buy the album - it was new but I think the day I was at that shop I didn't have enough money. Came back in a few days after I had gone to a bank to exchange some travelers cheques. Went back to the shop - but (the only copy on the shelf had been sold.)
I hadn't heard of Deena Webster but liked the songs on the record and thought it might be a good album.
So I was flying back to USA with my parents in a few days and never did get the record there. I did go back to London in later years during the 80's but never found it in a record shop - and I looked!

Fast forward to Ebay - and that's where I found it - for sale from a guy in France about 8 or 9 years ago now. So I finally found the record and have really enjoyed it over the last years.

Wish we could find out more about what Deena was doing in later years.
I love her cover of Janis Ian's "Hair of Spun Gold."

I know from reading previous posts that she had moved to Hong Kong years ago - not sure if it was for music or other reasons but that she sang in a movie produced in Hong Kong. I haven't been able to find anything about the movie or to hear if Deena did sing on the soundtrack. I don't think it was a well known movie - at least I had never heard of it being released in USA. Maybe it was a movie only available to be seen in Hong Kong.

Hi Guys!

I too was looking for info on this Deena Webster. I bought the CD on impulse from the covert art, which I love. Thought I'd pass this along:

The CD (remastered) is currently available from Japan. I'd grab it quick as I suspect titles like this don't stay in print for long. I can attest to the sound quality as being incredible, as are most remasters coming from Japan.

Cheers :)

Just saw this thread and I too have been wondering if Deena Webster is singing anywhere? Posts of her indicate she is in Hong Kong.
Perhaps she is performing in clubs there but I could not seem to find anything when I tried to research "Deena Webster singing/performing in Hong Kong."
So what has become of her? I have that one LP of hers, "Tuesday's Child."
I often wonder how her voice might have changed over the years.
Wonder why she never released another album. She was very talented.

I heard she still plays but only special events from a man I know who was at a short performance recently in Hong Kong he said she is very private and doesn't seek publicity.

I think she plays and sings but not professionally and a family friend heard about an off cuff performance last year in Asia where she lives, We bought the newly released album but it feels like she disappeared off the radar, my parents knew her in London in the late 1960's when she was recording and performing

To Guest U.K.
Could you please provide more information about the new album you mentioned that was released? Was it just released in China where she lives? Is it songs from her LP released in the 1960's or is it a completely new album and is it folk or other style of music?

Still wonder how she wound up moving to China?

We still have her record and I saw her in my teens at a folk club gathering in the 1960’s in Manchester and my sister saw her at the Albert Hall in London, she was young then and must be in her sixties now. I hope she kept singing.

Found out by the merest chance that magazine "The Record Collector" recently did a limited re-issued of her lone album on vinyl - and they actually tracked her down and talked to her. Brief article about her story in the Feb 2014 issue.

So she is a mystery based on all the comments she just up and left her career in the 1960’s it’s a shame I just played some tracks on you tube she looked young

Hi Pauline,
Yes, I agree. There was supposed to have been something she did
(music related) for a movie released in China many years ago.
However, I remember trying to do an on-line search for
it at the time, but could not find anything at all.

Whatever information you might find out about, related to her following in Japan would be appreciated. I am in California.
Does she live in Japan now or still singing anywhere?
Whatever you could find and post here would be good.
Thank you,

Is this CD released in USA or in Japan?
Are any of the previously unreleased demos available at this time? If so, where could you find them?
I am a big fan of Deena's music. Have the one Lp.
Just wonder if she is still alive and if she is, what country she lives in?
