This song resonates in my heart, Stephen. It makes my spirit soar as I join in with you on the chorus. Thank you. 💜💜

Sounds excellent Stephen. Listened on iPad  through a Bluetooth speaker. 👍

Dead Man Blues

I launched my first CD at the Black Box 23.9.10. It was a great night. The place was packed, thanks to all the airplay (free tickets, but no free drink) and Gerry Anderson came along to introduce the show. This was praise indeed and some support.

There were six in the Moon Shed that night: Catherine Sands, Michael Sands, Rohan Young, John McKeever, Barry Tipping and Myself. (The wee wee man sat with his mates and had a pint).
The next day five of us came into Radio Ulster, in Ormeau Avenue to play live and do an interview with Gerry.

Grateful as ever to Gerry and all the band. To John, Michael, Rohan, Catherine and Barry. Wonderful memories.

Here is a new recording of my song
ONE HAND AND THE WHALE.

For many years I worked as a storyteller in, mainly, primary schools.
This involved telling stories, using my own poems and drawings
plus live drawing sessions with a big story at the end, using my own 
projected illustrations.

Many of these sessions, in the north, Donegal and around Ireland
were great craic and it was a two way positive experience to see the children engaged, swimming in the rhythms and the music.

All this 17+ years experience led me back into the music with more writing and performing here and there, first with the Moon Shed and then solo.

The musicians who have performed with me on this track are Nick Scott, Belfast, on Bass
Liam Bradley, Derry, on Percussion, Mick Parker, Portsmouth on keys and Damien McGeehan, Killybegs, Donegal, on Fiddle. Ironically all places with a connection to the sea. Tim Edey also played Guitars and Melodeon which added an extra sparkle.

If you would like an mp3 copy of this track just send me an email
and I would be happy to send one to you. randall.stephen.hall@gmail.com
There’s more to find at my website www.randallstephenhallsongs.com
plus You Tube (two channels), Sound Cloud and Facebook.

Stephen Stiofán. Good Luck for now . . .

_10 ONE HAND AND THE WHALE by Randall Stephen Hall

If you had said to me in 2009 that I would become more involved in song writing and playing music live, I would have said "Catch yourself on . . ." But here I am, five years later, still at it, after a lay off of about thirty years or so.

I could almost be described as an unintentional musician. One thing just led to another . . .

I still work as an illustrator, poet and storyteller.

Can you call that work?

Good question . . .
