29.10.08 Opening
night in Belgium
'so, the night of the proms shows began in antwerp, belgium,
on oct. 23 in a huge venue called the sportspaleis. 16,000
capacity which of course made me very nervous. that was on
top of the nerves i was feeling cos i was singing troy from
the lion and the cobra for the first time in twenty years.
I had two days of rehearsals with a full orchestra and everybody,
robert, the conductor, franck, the orchestrator, and jan, the
producer/promotor of the proms, were all very encouraging and
enthusiastic and that gave me some confidence. Anyway, there
should be a version of
troy from the second night for you to hear on the site.' Read the rest of Sinead's message here

"Hello Everyone, Here are my summer
shows. I'll be joined onstage by guitarist Steve Cooney
who played on and co-produced the 'Theology' Dublin Sessions
disc; together with multi-instrumentalist Kieran Kiely from
my 2007 touring band on keyboards, accordion, whistles and
guitar. Hope to see you somewhere along the road. Sx"
19.02.08Sinéad & Republic
Of Loose
Sinéad has collaborated with Irish based funk rock band
Republic Of Loose on a new version of Curtis Mayfield's 'We
People (Who Are Darker Than Blue)'. Both artistes were invited
by the organisers of Ireland's annual Meteor music awards to
perform together, and decided on 'We People'. Watch the video here.
As timely in Ireland in 2008 as it was in Chicago in 1970,
this heartfelt plea to respect cultural diversity still rings
true today.
