Thanks for checking out 'A Perfect Stone'! - I'm going to have a go at explaining what we're about!
We're a band that make 'Ethno-Celt' flavoured music.
What on earth is that I hear you ask?
It's music with an eclectic fusion of various indigenous,
Celtic and contemporary sounds. Most of us are from Ireland or Scotland hence
the tinge of Celtic influence and energy.
Our line up varies depending on gig or session but commonly includes: Djembe,
Bodhran, Cello, Violin, Guitars and Vox. It's not uncommon to also hear
Didgeridoo, Keyboards and lots of percussion stuff that shakes, rattles,
tinkles, scratches and more.
'A Perfect Stone' is a pool of talented musicians who are passionate about
the music they have been gifted with. Some are full-time professionals some are
'musos' with day jobs, but the important thing is where we want to take you with our music.
There is a place where the soul finds peace and
allows us to listen through the noise of everyday life and for some
reason or other music helps us get there. Yeah, yeah I know that all
sounds a bit woolly but, think about it, we've all had times when we
hear just a few notes from a remembered song and we're instantly
transported back to the time and place when it held significant meaning
for us.
Well that's the kind of experience we're looking to lead you to - something a bit more than just notes played and words sung.
An eclectic mix of ethnic/acoustic and contemporary sounds the music works really
well with a wide range of multi-generational audiences.
A typical set might include covers by The Waterboys,
Crowded House, Sting, Kevin Prosch & Delirious as well as some of our own
material all with the Ethno-Celt flavour.
Here's a bit of propaganda about me:
I'm
a singer/songwriter with recordings on the EMI/Kingsway record label and an
artist on their original‘New Celts’ album (along with Robin
Mark, Brian Houston & Joanne
Hogg). It's also the same label that has recorded some of the spiritual
material for the likes of Moya Brennan and others.
