MUSIC - Merlin's TeaPot - To The Goat's Field

This is a link to the multitrack version of my little flute melody. (On SoundCloud.com)

It is titled 'To The Goat's Field' and will be Track One on Merlin's TeaPot's forthcoming album; 'The Temple Not Builded With Hands'.

This is a link to the original single flute piece inspired by the Eko Eko Chant. (YouTube) Video with lyrics. I will be producing a version with my attempts to sing, as I am currently the only person in the world who knows how the words are meant to fit the tune. I have had very little choral tuition in the last fifteen years, so I apologise in advance.

Booze Update & Musical Happenings

Well, moderation is going all-right.
I am highly conscious of taking great care.

In far more exciting news, I and Sharron Idol sharron-idol.com have composed a song together.

Its title is "Unseelie Rade", and it will be released this summer on the album "I'm A Person; Not A Genre" (Ice Recordings) - (It will be) AVAILABLE THROUGH iTUNES.

I really enjoyed recording it! Yay!!

Dahm the Bard - Spirit of Albion

Last night I went to Crawley to see Dahm the Bard
( http://www.paganmusic.co.uk/ ) sing a few songs,
and watch the premiere of the film "Spirit of Albion"
( http://www.thespiritofalbionthemovie.com/ )

- a tale of weary souls finding strength by the aid of the Ancient Gods.
It's rather good. The acting and singing are dodgy in places,
but that is more than compensated for by the plot, humour,
intelligent content and emotional grip in this story of a journey
from desolate despair to faith in the experience of living,
and the revelation or reminder that the Holy Powers are eternal.

Here is the trailer for the Film.

Here is the Song, Spirit of Albion. The first time I heard this,
on the 'John Barleycorn Reborn' multi-artist compliation album, I cried my eyes out.

I was crying from one-third of the way through Dahm's
first song, all the way to the end of the film, last night.

What an evening it was!
Nice people, nice music, just... So Nice.
