Autumn 2010

Hi all,

Somehow I've jumped from Spring to Autumn this year. Been a bit busy with moving house recently - I don't recommend it to anyone!

You may have noticed that the Ciaran Dorris/Heather Innes page is no longer on here - Ciaran is doing just fine with the release of his new CD, "Home", on Greentrax coming up on October 1st. He and I still work together for Music in Hospitals but as these are private concerts there is no point in us having a duo page on here any longer.

My move to the big smoke has been partly to concentrate fully on music again. The plan is to approach folk clubs and small venues as a solo singer with a back up guitarist and a new development in the pipeline is the possibility of a Celtic band with some new music friends I've just made. Watch this space lol

Meanwhile Caim continues as always. Our next visit to Thailand is very close now - we leave on October 31st and will be there till November 22nd. This time we hope to return to the refugee camp we were at last time and re connect with friends we made in Mae Sot but our main reason for returning has been an invite to an orphanage run by H2O (Help to Orphans) in Umphang. We hope to stay there for a week at least of our visit and on our way back to Bangkok we have been invited to sing and fund raise for a church in Chiang Mai.

For most of the past year we have been fund raising in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland through concerts and presentations about our last trip. Folk have been very generous - we have also had some additional donations from friends (they know who they are) and we would like to thank everyone for their support.

Apart from our Thailand fund raising events Caim have sung at a couple of concerts in Milton Keynes and caught up with good friends there and we are now sending emails back and forth to friend and storyteller Colleen Sutherland in Wisconsin, USA who is organising a tour for us of libraries, churches, house concerts etc. We plan on being in Wisconsin March 6 - 21 so if anyone is interested in having us sing please let me know and I will pass on your contact details to Colleen.

Immediately prior to our Wisconsin visit we hope to finally return to our friends in Florida for a week, maybe two. Our Canadian agent Ian Davies is arranging this one - again please contact us if you have a venue you'd like to hear us in.

That's about it for now - next time we will have Thailand news and photos for you.

Thanks as always for your support for mine and Caim's music.

God Bless

Heather
