British Tour 2011

EM & DK

Hello friends:

We're off again to Britain for a month-long tour of festivals and clubs, and are hoping to see some of you along the road!

We have concert dates in Wales, Cornwall, Scotland and England and the tour includes two of the biggest (and most
fun!) multi-day English festivals, Whitby Folk Week and Fylde Folk Festival.

This is the British release tour for the"Pocketful of Rhymes" CD, and we're looking forward to bringing the new CD and the new songs to British radio and to fans and friends there!

Hope to see you at one of the events listed below,
cheers,
Eileen

If you can't make it to one of the concerts, "Pocketful of Rhymes" is also available for order on my web site, with direct online secure payments, or you can order by cheque and snail mail :

The Eileen McGann SONGBOOK !

The songbook, published by Ber-Len Music of Guelph, Ontario, as part of its "Essential Canadian Songwriter Series", is in its final stages of production! Advance copies will be available soon, and the official release date is October 1. We are currently putting together some release events in BC, Alberta and Ontario and will let you know when we have definite details. The book will be 172 pages, and includes all Eileen's written and recorded songs, the traditional songs that she has contributed to, plus a few extras. In addition, there are dozens of pencil sketches from her plein air sketchbooks, and exerpts from three days of interviews on everything under the sun.

Here's a sneak peek at the cover and poster:

NORTHERN SPIRIT Radio Shows

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of doing three in-depth interviews with presenter Mark Judkins Helpsmeet for his radio shows on Northern Spirit Radio.
All three are now posted for listening online.
The first interview was for "Song of the Soul" - a show that focuses on spirituality in the arts:

The second and third were for the show "Spirit in Action", focusing on politics and community-centered action.

Please leave a comment and/or give the shows a rating,
to help keep the interviews and the show active.
We had some great conversations, and there are many songs that are played and discussed in the interviews. Life, music, politics, spirit, the universe and everything!
