Autumn/Winter 2009
Hi Everyone,
Time for another update.
Jacynth and I have had a rest from international travel this past few months and our visit to Florida has been re scheduled for Spring 2010.
We did have a weekend away though to the peaceful grounds of Stirling University for the Scottish WCCM (World Community for Christian Meditation) annual gathering in June. We were worked very hard if you consider singing for several meditation times a day, a concert and music for Mass but the whole experience was so relaxed and enjoyable it didn't feel like work to us. I could have stayed there forever!
September 19th we will be singing for meditation again, this time at Spittalfield Village Hall for a few hours - once again working with WCCM Regional Coordinator for Scotland, Alex Holmes who will be speaker for the morning.
After this our thoughts turn to Thailand once more as we head to Dundee in the evening of Sep 19th for a concert to fund raise for our next visit to the Karen children in February 2010. This time we will be singing at an orphanage for Karen refugees at the invitation of Christian Organisation H2O (Help to Orphans).
And so the season of fund raising events to help us on our way back to Thailand begins! Planned events in Scotland include a pub quiz and library concert and I've contacted several primary schools in my local area for help with fund raising events and hopefully to establish contact between Scottish school children and the Karen children in the orphanage.
Caim have also been back in Redbarn Studios again - this time for a CD to consolidate the best tracks from some of our earlier CDs which we won't be re pressing. We've included our DVD "Healing God" on the same CD and a new track by songwriter Bobby Lokat entitled "Will You Grow". Caim's debut live performance of "Will you Grow" was so well received by folkies at "Four Fools Festival" in Lancashire in June that we decided somewhere on the M6 on our way home to make it the title track and to have Bobby provide the cover artwork for the CD. For those folkies who liked Bobby's version of his song when we played it to them, Bobby sings as Caim's guest on our version too, so you get the best of both worlds!
Ciaran and Heather have been seeing a lot of each other in recent months as Music in Hospital concerts and tours have continued to come in for Scotland.
Add Kate Kramer to the duo and you have Firefrost and we will be gigging for what has become a fun annual event at Winnock Hotel on Christmas Day.
For those of you waiting patiently for my husband Al's CD please accept my apologies for the delay. It is now ready for production and we will be pressing the CD during October and emailing everyone as soon as it is ready for posting out to you. It is worth waiting for!
Thanks as always to all of you for your support of our music.
God bless
Heather
