IASCA and FMC in association with Culture Ireland are giving the gift of music from Ireland to dignitaries travelling with HRH The Queen and President Obama during their individual visits to Ireland this month. 
 
The double CD entitled, Music From Ireland 2011 will be presented to over 1000 visiting dignitaries travelling with the UK and US heads of state. The main aim of the project is to promote Irish artists both at home (pr & streaming) and abroad (CD) and hope the artists involved benefit by being heard by the recipients, which include international press.

The artist selection process involved representative organisations Music Network, The Contemporary Music Centre, Improvised Music Company and First Music Contact nominating artists they feel currently represent a particular genre. The Arts Council and Culture Ireland advised the final list.
 
The music is divided in to four chapters, each chapter representing two genres:

Indie & Rock
Clasical & Contemporary
Traditional & Folk
Jazz & world

We met Willy Mason dressed in formal wear, surrounded by fake plants at Laura Marling's Secret Cinema album launch last summer where we were both secret guests. When we decided to do an alternative version of Longest Day of the Year Blues inspired by the country ballads of Lee Hazelwood we knew he was the man for the job. We sent him a slow guitar and voices track to sing to via the miracle of the internet and he sent us back the acapella vocal which we've been listening with a mix of pride and awe ever since. Now reunited with the backing track we are massively excited to present this special day-before-summer-solstice free download: Willy Mason sings Longest Day of the Year Blues.

You can find the original version of Longest Day Of The Year Blues on our new album, Choir of Echoes. Available to buy or stream at these places and all good record shops:
