KTM is a trio whose sound has been described as 'exciting', 'mysterious', and
'really different'. The unique combination of ‘cello/voice (Ginny Davis) and chromatic button accordion (John Ramirez) underpinned by the driving rhythmical counterpoint of bodhran (Roy Jones) creates music that is both unique and engaging. Their tunes are tightly and intelligently arranged, delivered with the passion and fire associated with Gaelic music. Their influences come from Brittany, Scotland, the Balkans, Cape Breton and Ireland, and their rapidly growing repertoire of self penned material reflect these diverse musics. THEY ARE NOW WORKING ON THEIR DEBUT CD - READY FOR EARLY AUTUMN! KEEP A LOOK OUT.
I notice a lot of singers close their eyes when they sing, especially the more emotional songs! I don't think that's rubbish interaction at all - it shows that the musician is totally 'into' their song. I love it. Especially from a photography point of view. Loads of instrumentalists do the same thing too - it's fantastic to see. To be able to capture a musician feeling all that emotion is fantastic (as long as the venue will allow it, that is!!) :o) xx
Thanks Ginny - we're doing fine, thanks for asking. My lad is showing an inner strength that I always knew he had. Had a great weekend - saw as much as I could, always such lovely variety at Otley. x
Thanks so much for your lovely supportive blog comment, Ginny. It's possible this will impact on his GCSEs, but his consultant is very amenable to however my lad wants to play things, and his school is very, very supportive too. We'll get through it..
I'm learning quite a lot about my MySpace friends these days! I've already taken heed of your advice and been to Otley Folk Festival this evening. Lovely as ever, but I left early because I am really tired.
Back tomorrow to enjoy more fabulous music at one of the most relaxing festivals in England!
Merci beaucoup ur votre invitation, votre musique est très agréable !Voici le festival que nous préparons chez nous en Picardie (France), mais c'est peut être un tout petit peu trop loin ? Amitiés
