Band MembersI am travelling to Malawi and Tanzania from October 14th to 24th with Playing For Life, a voluntary charitable group established by sports broadcaster Tracey Piggott, which aims to improve living standards for people in some of Africa’s poorest areas. Playing for Life focuses ..ing people to help themselves through education, health and sport. Our group of volunteers will work with local communities, bringing skills, which can then be used to generate income from home industries, crafts and tourism. Those travelling include Nationwide’s Mary Kennedy and Irish singer Eleanor Shanley. Some of the group will be involved in building a community centre, otherswill be training people in crafts and business skills. Eleanor and I have made arrangements to bring a Sound Engineer with us to capture the Tanzanian and Malawian choirs which have to be heard to be believed. Having recorded them we will make an album for them which will be for Sale in Ireland. We will also be making the album available to the choirs for them to sell for many years to come. We are seeking to raise money for this project — each volunteer needs to raise €5,500— and would be grateful for any assistance which you can give on that front.

"Her voice is a superb mix of china cup fragility and steely resilience" The Irish Times Though only 27 years old, this vocalist and songwriter galvanized the Irish music scene with her stunning album, Red Colour Sun (recorded with Donogh Hennessy and Producer John Reynolds). Deeply immersed in the tradition yet completely aware of the edgier developments in contemporary alternative music, Scanlon is capable of making the oldest ballads sound immediate and fresh while granting newer material a timeless resonance. She was nominated in the best Folk/Trad category in the 2004 Meteor Awards. As featured vocalist with the Sharon Shannon Band for three years, and as a solo artist, Scanlon has entranced audiences the world over with her distinctly delicate intensity. Pauline Scanlon brings her unmistakable breathy and intimate vocal style to her latest Compass release, Hush. Produced by former Lunasa guitarist, Donogh Hennesy, and recorded at the Compass Sound Stage in Nashville, Hush is an album immersed in Irish tradition, but exquisitely melds folk and bluegrass to create an effortless blend. With Hush, Scanlon, once vocalist for the Sharon Shannon band, the Woodchoppers, exemplifies her worldly knowledge of different musical styles and showcases her ability and willingness to cross traditional boundaries. Scanlon is backed up on Hush by a remarkable core band whose backgrounds range from country to bluegrass to jazz and includes the legendary Stuart Duncan on fiddle, Danny Thompson on bass, jazz pianist John R. Burr, and session wizard Kenny Malone on drums. Recently, pauline has been performing with a wide range of artists including singer songwriter John Spillane and Cape Breton Fiddlers Roseanne MacKenzie and Howie MacDonald.

It’s free to everyone and be great if by chance you happen to be around this way and wanted to drop in – Always good to meet people in the real world too!

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog):
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001

Where traditions are not so rare;
Sea, country and works scent the air;
A multitude of monuments,
Planted tubs and patterned pavements.

The longish pedestrian malls;
The remnants of defensive walls;
Historic buildings are a gauge
Of the respect for heritage.

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields;
Estuaries guarded by shields;
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes;
Romantic-ruin go-betweens.

Rivers in parts licked by trees,
Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries,
And crossed by practical delights -
Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.

Fine churches headed at Durham;
Football kits ad infinitum;
Kept castles - one for study;
Masonry behind masonry.

And, with moulding-works out that way,
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

(C) David Franks 2003

Dear Pauline Scanlon,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Estimada/o Pauline Scanlon,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...
