Last year we prepared for the publication of the book Wyrd Kalendar...
This year we are making ready an album of the same name...
This new album will contain 13 tracks - 12 of which will be related to the stories from the book and the month of the year. The album will be released by the very groovy Mega Dodo (who released Songs from the Black Meadow in 2016). All profits from the album will go to charity.
The artists have been given a month each, a copy of the linked story and Andy Paciorek's picture to give them a starting point and away they go!
We are very proud to reveal that the artist for September are the prog-folk legends Tír na nÓg who have created a track based on the month of September and the story "Ashley and Ashley".
Tír na nÓg is a phrase from Gaelic mythology which translates into ‘land of eternal youth’. Tír na nÓg is also the name that Sonny Condell and Leo O’Kelly adopted when their musical paths fortuitously crossed in 1969. The resulting mix was a magical potion of rich and varied sounds and idioms that was unique and completely different to anything else on the music scene at the time.
They are a hugely influential folk band responsible for the psych-folk classic albums such as Tír na nÓg, A Tear and a Smile, Strong in the Sun and their BBC Radio 1 sessions from 1972 and 1973.
They have continued to gig ever since and have produced several very fine Live Albums including Live at the Half Moon released by MegaDodo.
Their most recent album is "The Dark Dance" which Prog Magazine described as "an acoustically mounted piece of great refinement, on a record often embellished by strings and moments of eastern promise'’
More information about the album and our other monthly artists will be released throughout 2018...
While you wait check out some fantastic tracks from their live album...
