Chat Message from Linn Phipps in the Mudcat Singaround:

Dear friends, by kind permission of Joe … I zoom-sing as half of a transatlantic duo. As the Sillertides, we (Linn Phipps and Doug Huggins) have been working on a project with painter Lionel Coates.    Lionel has a major exhibition coming up at the Clare Museum on 14 March 2022, of paintings of Ireland with three distinct themes of Famine, Fields and Fishing. We are matching Lionel's paintings with songs.    The link for the first YouTube video is https://youtu.be/i0zH1LrayLI and the second YouTube video will be premiering during this week. Please do give them a view! and maybe subscribe to our channel too, it's free. Thanks! Linn.

Linn Phipps has been singing at the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Mondays recently, and I've encountered her at other Zoom sessions. I love her singing.

Here are some links and additional information Linn sent me:

    Hi Joe
    And thanks for your encouragement. Sorry I can’t yet open the thread. Site is down?
    I’ve spend nearly 45 years focussed on Gaelic competitive singing, choral/ solo.

    Pandemic has been a great opportunity for expanding my repertoire and genres in English language, connecting with song communities and now I sing, do workshops and even Guesting, across the English speaking world. During the pandemic period I’ve created a website and Youtube channel, released/ reissued 5 CDs and collaborated from America to Australia, as well as developed skills in zoom – I co-host a monthly Gaelic-only sing, ladies shanty crew etc. I have projects in planning that are going to take me til I can’t sing any more.
