The fire at the #BelfastMulticulturalAssociation was a deliberate hate crime. This is shameful. If you can afford to, please consider donating to help the group get re-established in temporary accommodation. Support their work. Oppose racism. I'm so sorry. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/belfastmulticulturalassociation

[NEW GTK EP] This week, I'm talking to harpist, composer and electronic musician Boss-Woman Úna Monaghan / @una_music.

I love how honest Una is about her own creative self-esteem.

“Self Organising Systems” by Evan Parker was a new PRS commission for Sonorities and Dialogues Festvials in 2012. The application to PRS was initiated by saxophonist Franziska Schroeder and devised with composer/improviser Martin Parker . They say: “Our aim for the project is to bring together musicians that represent a mix of traditional and contemporary performers.” A recording and more information is available at the project website.

Musicians for the Belfast performance were:
Tom Arthurs (trumpet)
Steve Davis (drums)
Ivan Goff (Uillleann Pipes)
Úna Monaghan (harp)
Evan Parker (soprano sax)
Pedro Rebelo (live electronics)
Franziska Schroeder (saxes)
