Path of Dreams
Cat No: PCDN 165
Price: £10.99


Description:

Although ‘Path of Dreams’ is Liz’s debut album release with Plankton this is in fact her fifth album. Being the possessor of a strong, clear and pure voice, this collection highlights all of Liz’s strengths as a singer, whether singing the rhythmic Bangra/Indian flavoured opening track or a stripped down track where she is backed by a solo guitar – of which there are several stunning examples. Featuring all original songs of faith, love and life written by Liz and multi-instrumentalist and album producer Paul McIlwaine, this album sees Liz and Paul re-visiting Liz’s independently released 2010 ‘Pure’ album. They have re-recorded, re-mixed, re-mixed and re-structured the running order to make this release the album Liz had always envisaged.

Title:
Veiled In Mystery
Cat No: PCDN 164
Price: £10.99


Description:

Following on from her well received 2008 debut CD 4 song EP (released under the name Viv Neville - available below) comes Vivienne's debut full album length CD release - and what a debut album! Vivienne's skill as both a songwriter, arranger and performer really shines through and she has also done the very wise thing of surrounding herself with talented, experienced and gifted producers and musicians (including members of Y-Friday and Iona) - the fact that they are also close and long-time friends of Vivienne's is another important factor.
Blending pop with Celtic sensibilities and wrapping all of this in very atmospheric playing and recording brings an album that is reflective, encouraging, soothing and stunning all at the same time. This album announces the long overdue arrival of a name and talent onto the music scene. If you love quality music then you will love this album!

Description:

Belfast born Liz is a truly gifted songstress. Recorded in Nashville, Liz released "The Dream" in 2009 and because of our now close working relationship we are pleased and honoured to make it available on our site.

The understated arrangements and playing highlight Liz's rich and pure voice. Covers of two classic Celtic hymns coupled with Liz's original songs produce the overall gentle Celtic feel of this class album that have garnered well deserved high praise

Title: Child of Biafra
Cat No: PCDN 163
Price: £11.99


Description:

Featuring songs from the stage production, 'Child of Biafra' is the stage dramatisation in words and music of Ben Okafor's own childhood experiences of the Nigeria-Biafra War, during which he was a child soldier. These songs reflect the origins of Ben's musical career, his early childhood and his early journey through the fields and fortunes of war, and the influences of these experiences on his artistic and spiritual vocation to date. The musical arrangements and performances are poignant, earthy and acoustic based and truly reflect the African heritage from which they draw. The CJAM Choir (conducted by Segun Gilbert) add a further dimension to the CD in both their wonderful augmentation of Ben's songs and in their performances of traditional Igbo pieces.

Description:
Paperback. 242 pages. Published 2009. The story of George Evans of Windsor 1630-1702. Graham Claydon read History at King's College London in the 1960s but declined offers of research in favour of working directly with the living. Now retired he has returned to his love of history, with the conviction that a church and nation that fail to understand their past are likely to misjudge their present. On this basis he is optimistic that The unlikely Cannon is not just a fascinating story but also a message for today.
