Wonderful new song from New Zealand by Dale and David Garratt – written to bless the people of Ōtautahi (Christchurch).
If you missed it – here are the clips from Percussion for Peace. The first video (8mins) is from Tanzania, the amazing Gogo Drummers, celebrating during our last visit. Then a solo piece (5 mins) from my new studio in Wales and lastly from Cambodia, the CCAMS drummers, (8 mins) shot during one of their practises.
VFTN is honoured to be part of Percussion for Peace this Saturday. We will contribute the Gogo drummers from Tanzania, CCAMS drummers from Cambodia and a solo piece from yours truly.
Very exciting to see the release of Anna Raines new CD – We Face The Wind. We have been working on this for the last couple of years and it captures something of the sound of Northumberland. Some of the songs are Anna’s compositions and some are traditional songs that we have put our own little twist. Here’s a track to whet your appetite.
