About me:

Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle is the first feature film in Scottish Gaelic. It is a film from the Scottish Gaelic community starring local Gaelic-speaking actors from the Highlands and Isles and was filmed entirely on the Isle of Skye (An t-Eilean Sgitheanach) off the West Coast of Scotland.

Seachd is not a Hollywood film. The film was shot across just 25 days on a tiny budget, but it is a film with a big heart and it represents the lives of people living in a part of the world that has yet to be shown on the big screen.

The soundtrack to Seachd features some of Gaeldom's greatest living vocalists and musicians - and ancient Gaelic instruments such as the Carnyx (Celtic battle horn), the metal strung Clàrsach (Gaelic harp) and the triplepipes (the predecessor of the bagpipes).

Thank you so much to all the MySpacers that have helped to get our small budgeted but big hearted film into cinemas in the UK and hopefully soon the rest of the world!

Story
Làn fhìrinn na sgeòil. The truth is in the story. When a young man, Angus, visits his dying Grandfather in hospital he cannot hold back his boyhood quest for the truth - the truth behind the death of his parents and the truth behind his Grandfather's ancient, incredible, fearful stories. Stories from the whole swathe of Gaelic history of poisoned lovers, bloody revenge, water-horses and Spanish gold. His Grandfather hijacks Angus' life for one last time leading him to one of Scotland's most treacherous mountains, The Inaccessible Pinnacle on the Isle of Skye, and an ancient truth he never expected to find. Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle is the first Scottish Gaelic feature film.

Làn fhìrinn na sgeòil. Tha Aonghas air a bhith air tòir na fìrinn o òige, miann a tha a' teannachadh na inntinn 's na chorp nuair a thuigeas e gu bheil am bàs gu laighe air a Sheanar. Tha fios aig Aonghas gu bheil an t-àm dha eòlas a chur air an fhìrinn mu bhàs a phàrantan 's cuideachd mu sgeulachdan a Sheanair. Sgeulachdan iongantach, eagalach a thug air cuairt tro eachdraidh nan Gaidheal iad le gaol, sabaid, eich-uisge agus òr Spàinnteach nam measg. Tha Aonghas 's a Sheanair a' gabhail aon chuairt eile còmhla, cuairt a tha gan toirt gu mullach Sgùrr Dearg 's gu fìrinn ris nach robh dùil sam bith.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse





Jun 22 2009 4:55 PM

(Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

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

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003

Billy Bogus - Alphabet City

Here comes the new Pizzico Nobel release made on slanting hip hop vibes and subpoenas but stuffed with italo and electric shots, it reminds of something like end of 90's ninja tune stuff... no doubt Pizzico is still looking forward... and back as well.
For the tenth PN release Billy wanted his prestigious remixers, friends and co-operators Enzo Ponzio, Ichisan & Nakova and young hooded "Sanaleik" project, a couple of young beat bandits that like to re-edit and deconstruct everything with a special 90's taste.
Enzo's version sounds like a paranoid old fashioned underground tune, so deep and dirty; I&N's mix is like a fat and slow funk, at the top of their big talent.
We hope to have made you curious enough...

Children of the G20 Revolution - Climate Camp 1st April 2009 The City of London is RECLAIMED by people of all political persuasion and world viewpoints too protest at the manner in which the BANKSTERS engineered and destroyed the global economy. Whilst the media reported MASS RIOTING, Camp Climate just two minutes down the road tells a different story.
