Summer in Cloudyland

2011-11-29T01:15:00.001-08:00

Greetings from a warm and humid Queensland as Summer starts its coming-in. This post is being written during a short break from important lying in the pool duties.

1. The Circus of Desires Video Clip

We raved about the Neurum Creek Acoustic Music Festival, but what we didn't mention was that we used the opportunity over the weekend to make a film clip in that beautiful setting. With the help of the wonderful Jeff Licence and a whole heap of folkie friends, we put together a video of the title track of our latest CD, The Circus of Desires.

You'll find the product of this labour of love on our webpage, www.cloudstreet.org.

We love it!

2. Christmas Céili this Saturday in Maleny - come and dance!

If you're going to be in South-East Queensland this Saturday, pop up to Maleny for the Christmas Ceili at the Maleny Primary School Hall, 16 Bunya Street, Maleny.

The Maleny Tunes Class (every Wednesday) and the Maleny Celtic Winter School (every June), are having a Christmas Ceili to have a load of fun and do a little bit of fundraising, so we can continue to foster the talents of traditional folk musicians across the coast and hinterland!

The music will be live - its the Maleny Céili Band! - and the dance callers include the wonderfully clear and experienced and simply lovely Davydd McDonald.

Its a family event, every age is welcome, $10 for grownups and kids are free. We'll have a cafe with tea, coffee, water and importantly, cakes, available and we're looking forward to a great community dance.

3. We're Teaching Singing in January

We'll be running a 5-day singing workshop on Traditional Singing in January as part of the Music Under the Southern Cross camp in Central Victoria (January 15-20, 2012).

This well-established week of music is a great way to acknowledge yourself as a musician, network with like-minded singers and players and focus your attention on your music for five glorious days.

This year's singing class will be taught at two levels, including an Advanced Development Workshop for more experienced singers who want to build on their skills.

Cost for the week is $680 including accommodation and all meals. Classes without accommodation cost $300. Concession rates are available for under-16s.

For further information on the singing classes, contact cloudstreet at mail@cloudstreet.org or on 0416 032 573.

For enrolment details, visit the Music Under the Southern Cross website at http://www.celt.com.au/summer.html#info

4. John Went West

John has spent much of the last few weeks travelling through Western New South Wales with Fada (with bandmates Jenny Fitzgibbon, Jeremy Dunlop and Steve Cook) playing Irish music for eager young primary school students. (With the occasional exception - John recalls one high school student asking, "Are you a leprechaun? Because you have freakishly small feet".) With counselling, he is expected to recover fully.

5. Nicole's Art and Music Combine

Nic's been working on a new commissioned morris dancing painting, but took time to go to Boxwood, a week-long workshop in New Zealand, where she studied flute and fiddle with three acclaimed teachers, Chris Norman, Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas.

An exciting concept which had been simmering in her mind achieved clarity at Boxwood and she has started a new body of work called "Fiddle Icons". She's planning a series of portraits of influential fiddle players and their instruments, borrowing some of the iconography of traditional Byzantine icon painting.

For more information, including a sneak peek of the first work, check out Nicole's art blog: http://nicolemurrayartblog.blogspot.com/

6. UK 2012

April, 2012 will see us back in the United Kingdom for a seven-week tour with our schedule almost full, thanks to the wonderful work of Jacey Bedford Tour Management.

You'll find an up-to-date schedule of our gigs for this tour on our gigs page. We'll keep updating it as more come in.

7. It's Blogtastic!

An Australian Folk Song a Day (ozfolksongaday.blogspot.com) is powering on, with 5000 visits in October and already more than 6000 in November. A couple of illness-induced gaps have been filled, with more and more songs coming out of the woodwork. Visit the blog, marvel at the music, ooh and aah at the extensive lyric library which is growing by the day.

8. Yes, We'll Be At Woodford.

cloudstreet will make a couple of stealth appearances at this year's Woodford Folk Festival, performing as part of a special presentation on the Green Bans movement. An Unlikely Alliance will also feature Peggy Seeger and a host of local talent. You'll find this show in the Greenhouse from 6.30pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

We'll also be taking part in The Green Man Quest with the combined Queensland Morris sides (Saturday, Folklorica, 6.15pm.)

And of course, John will be joining the crew for the smash-hit game show, Game On in the Greenhouse, and no doubt leading his team to victory once more in the Great Comedy Debate on Saturday afternoon.

Nic is planning a full programme of workshops and will join the line-up with the fabulous Maleny Céili Band on Thursday afternoon.

9. And the National!

If you're really keen to mark a spot in your diary, cloudstreet are booked for the 2012 National Folk Festival in Canberra at Easter.

10. Morningsong for Brisbane Singers

We run the Morningsong Choir in Bulimba every Friday if you find yourself at a loose end on Friday mornings. Check out the website and come along to stretch your voice, meet some lovely people and make beautiful music together. We'll be singing through til December 16.

11. CDs make great Christmas Gifts.

For that special person in your life, what better gift than music to fill their hearts with joy, beautiful harmonies to lift their spirits and a simple way to show your good taste and support for local music. Cloudstreet CDs are available in a variety of colours, but only one shape or size. Visit the cloudstreet shop for the gift that sings.

The Road Goes Ever On - Our Latest News

2011-09-15T03:31:00.001-07:00

And now for all the news from Cloudstreet!

1. News Flash - Brisbane

World Music Singing Workshop this weekend.

For anyone who hasn't heard yet, Nicole has organised an opportunity to sing all weekend with the inspiring Beat Lehmann, who has directed Woodford Folk Festival's 200-voice Fire Choir for the past three years. Beat collects gorgeous music from many cultures in his travels round the world, and he's teaching this fabulously uplifting material this weekend in Bardon. Here's the flyer...

2. Neurum Creek Acoustic Music Festival

One of the best little festivals we've ever been to, The Neurum Creek Music Festival combines a relaxed camping experience with one small marquee stage showing high-quality, diverse acoustic music. We were in the company of greats with the Barleyshakes (who rocked the house, mad, bad and almost totally trad), the Jar, a nine-year reunion of the Poachers, Innes Campbell and Present Company, Emma Nixon and Tony Vandermeer, The Hydrangeas, Martin Pearson Sunas, and a surprise visit from Kristina Olsen! There was non-stop terrific music all day and evening, and then quiet sleeping time. Brilliant festival. Nearly froze at night, but the sessions round the campfires were a highlight. And we made a film clip at the festival, which we will announce proudly to all and sundry as soon as its ready.

3. And before that there was NEW ZEALAND!

In August we toured around New Zealand for two and a half weeks, meeting delightful audiences and enjoying a series of beautiful gigs in amongst driving through the spectacular countryside. There was a record cold temperature while we were there and we got to play in the snow. It wasn't in the plan, so now we own a lot more winter clothing.

New Zealand has an active folk scene (just like its got an active volcano), and we found lots of opportunities to session with lovely players, in Waikato, in Whangarei (which is pronounced Fong-ah-ray, just in case you'd like to know), in Nelson, and on the interislander ferry, where we played tunes for our passage.

The scenes of devastated buildings in Christchurch will never leave us – as we drove into the city, we saw churches with the back wall completely fallen away, a steeple sitting in the garden, and rubble everywhere. While we were in Christchurch we experienced an earthquake that reached 4.3 on the Richter scale, and this is an almost daily occurrence still for the people of Christchurch, though it no longer makes the international news. People have endured the snowy winter in temporary accommodation and under canvas. The city has changed forever.

Snow-capped mountain peaks were a feature of the whole tour (and we never stopped saying wow!) and we finished the tour with a house concert in an old school house in Taranaki, within sight of the spectacular snowy point of the volcano.

4. The week before that we were in the desert.

Cloudstreet played at the opening of the Red Earth Arts Festival in Roxby Downs, which is real desert country, full of Sturt's desert peas, uranium and opals. The town is only 26 years old and is there to service the mine, and its full of lively people who know they are there for a limited time and throw themselves into community activities. We did a crazy, chatty interview on Rox FM, saw an art exhibition, played our concert, met a jeweller and was treated to seeing her studio, and went to the nearby shanty town of Andamooka, where opals have been mined since the 1930s, and where people used to go if they wanted to disappear.

5. And before that?

Since we last chatted, we've also played in Braidwood, Canberra, Sydney and Townsville.

6. So what's next?

• Travel the World By Song workshop with Beat Lehmann THIS WEEKEND. Book in at www.cloudstreet.org/singwithbeat.html.

• Tea and Music: Between the Jigs and Reels. A concert at the State Library of Qld with Emma Nixon and Tony Vandermeer and Cloudstreet, Tuesday 27 September, 10.30am, bookings through qtix 136 246 SOLD OUT!

We've a bit of time at home over the next few weeks, before John is off again with Musica Viva in Schools, and Nicole makes another trip to New Zealand for more tunes. Great to be home as the weather warms up.

And we're starting work on a new album!

7. Celtic Southern Cross in January

January will see us in Central Victoria to teach the Traditional Singing class at the Celtic Southern Cross Summer School (January 15-20, 2011) This a great week of music in a delightful setting. Treat yourself to the week of singing that you've been aching for.

This year the Singing class will involve Traditional Singing as well as a new Advanced development workshop, with each focusing on different vocal challenges.

Traditional Singing

This class will follow on from our workshop approach of the past three years, with new repertoire and exercises.

• physical and vocal warm-ups

• learn traditional songs and harmony parts

• vocal techniques

• chorus songs

• listening to celtic traditional singers

• improvising

• the singing session

Advanced Singing - Development Workshop

A new workshop for more experienced singers, looking for a more detailed technical challenge.

• share warm-up and repertoire activities with intermediate group in the morning

• participants are requested to bring a piece of traditional repertoire to develop into a performance piece with other class members in two, three or four part harmony

• focus on tone production, dynamics, performance skills, pitch matching, phrasing, expression.

For more details and bookings, visit Music Under the Southern Cross.

8. It's Blogalossal!

John's blog, An Australian Folk Song a Day (ozfolksongaday.blogspot.com) is going from strength to strength, passing the 30 000 visit mark a couple of weeks ago. (He's busy catching up today after 3 days of voice-loss). Visit the blog, marvel at the music, ooh and aah at the extensive lyric library which is now available to both all and sundry.
