Influences
Betty iz a Blockhead through and through. Ian Dury is one of her heroes, Her Grandmother the other and they have shaped Betty, the Album and whatever music Betty will produce in the future.
Her musical interest does not stop there, nor do the influences on the music of Betty Woz 'Ere, the boys will probably join her on The Blockheads but there is also a large liking and smattering of... Tom Waits and Marie Lloyd
So many to mention and Betty can't swear to whom else loves these but she is putting them down anyway, in no particular order
sQUEEZE, bILLY bRAGG, nICK cAVE & THE BAD Seeds, David Essex, Robert wYATT,eLIZA cARTHY , THE WATERSONS, THE shangri las,The Jam, The Clash, Chris Foster, Funi, Leon Rosselson, Daniel Johnston, the fun lovin' criminals, Frank Zappa, the Andrew Sisters, Tammy Wynette, Bessie Smith, Bjork, The Manic street preachers, x-ray specs, kate bush, the Stones, BONZO DOG DOO DAH'S, TOOTS AND THE MAYTAILS, The specials, the Band, BOB MARLEY AND THE WAilers, blonDIE, alex Harvey band,
I shall think of some more later but it could take all night!............
Sounds Like
Not sure, a veritable smorgasbord. Hopefully something a bit different , But not uneasy on the ear.
Betty Woz ‘Ere
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Betty’s extravaganza can cure all ills, there’ll be no need for libation or pills. The lurgy, the flu, the palsy, the ague, Betty’s extravaganza can make them better for you
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
It began as the workings of the fragile mind of Beth Dismore, FOR she is Betty and Betty is she...........................................................................
Beth lives in Brighton and began writing and singing in secrecy and sin over six years ago, She had to put it somewhere! Would have driven her dotty otherwise! ...................................................Let it all out luvvy! It’s better out than in! Betty is her alter ego, Betty says things Beth could never get away with, she is lewd, rude, forthright, brazen, honest, astute, passionate, loving, funny and most importantly to Beth, Betty doesn’t give a monkey’s what you think! Take it or leave it,
……………...............................................................
And now there you have it and here it is, as it were, the oeuvre that is Betty Woz ‘Ere has been let loose on a slightly surprised but not unkindly public. She is ably assisted by a band of excellent musicians, erstwhile called Trad Arr. men of impeccable manners who have been decent enough to accompany, chaperone and escort Betty as she parades herself about in an essentially indecent fashion. Well someone has to?
. ………………………………
Since MARCH 07 Betty Woz ‘Ere has played such illustrious venues as The Hope and Anchor in Islington, The Spice of Life in Soho, The 100 Club in Oxford Street and most recently The Water Rats in Kings Cross. Betty has aired her linen alongside none other than The Blockheads and Bad Manners; she has a small but perfectly eclectic following from big burly blokes, women with a past and admirers of corsetry to the waifs and strays without any other home like herself! They have made an album and hope to make another. www.myspace.com/bettywozere flourishes and there is video footage of Beth and the Boys ( all married more’s the pity) giving it their all on youtube, you can always reach them, contact them at betty_woz_ere@yahoo.co.uk
................................................
And so Beth writes in a flagrant display, she isn’t hiding it anymore for she is Betty and Betty is she. Betty Woz ‘ere want to come and play round your house, It gives them a nip! Invite them in? Ay?
Go on you know you want to…………….xx
All Betty’s Work is dedicated to the memory of Mrs.Joan Eileen Dismore and Mr. Ian Dury

Mama Shamone http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone “Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar
We Yes You No www. myspace. com/weyesyouno “We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck
Language http://www. myspace. com/languageuk “"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear
Hi Betty, Mark has added vocals to the Sneezey Teasey track on my player (the first song I've written since the Gobuggys!). We're really pleased with it so hope you like it too ;-))
