Subject: Eileen McGann - British tour
Went to a wonderful concert at Much Wenlock, Shropshire, last night by Eileen McGann.
Eileen is a Canadian singer songwriter of Irish descent. She has the most wonderful voice. She is accompanied by David K. Who is a good singer and musician in his own right.
Her songs are serious, humerous, sad, lively. She sings a mix of traditional songs from the British tradition, Celtic tradition, plus songs from Canada. Also her own songs reflect her concern at the disappearing forests in Canada.
I first saw Eileen and David at Bridgnorth Festival in 2000. I bought her 'Turn it Around' CD. My daughter said wow, its the first CD youve bought by a female performer.
If you get a chance to go to one of her concerts on the British tour, go.
