We have had a busy first part of 2009 and appreciate the opportunities to play new new places and meet new people. The latest was Sunday May 1st at the Embassy Irish Pub in Durango, Colorado. We were the feature band at the monthly Ceilidh and that is playing in good company. We were joined by our old friend and Gypsyfire regular Bob Condon. He is back on his feet and back on stage after over a year off recovering from an accident. We were also joined by a new band mate, Diana Paioff. She is a most talented flutist. We met her at the April gig at Wal Art Gallery where she just showed up and joined in. She will be sitting in with us from time to time as her schedule allows. Diana joins a most august group of musicians who have inhabited Gypsyfire. The other big news is I finished the first new song in about 5 years. It tells the surrealistic trip I made to Northern Ireland in 1985 to film a documentary on Children’s Committee Ten. I’ll post a demo version on our My Space site for you to check out. http://www.myspace.com/gypsyfiresings
Our next appearance will be as the headline group at the Mancos, Colorado Renaissance Faire on June 27 (Saturday) with show time still to be announced. Immediately after the show Cynthia and I will head off on a month long trip to visit family across the country and may be playing in a back yard or living room near you so keep an eye on this space.
To round out the summer, August 9 from 2 to 5 we will be at the Wines of the San Juan for our third year returning.
We hope to see you at one of these supporters of live music.
Since 1994 I have shared my life and music with Cynthia Whiddon Green. We have in turn shared the road and the music with you (and you know who you are). This web site is a place to share the space between the songs and visits. Our lives and the music we sing are like a mosaic. Each conversation, whether spoken or sung, adds a tile and each tile resolves the image as it adds more depth, richness and complexity. For those of you (and you know who you are) who have not met us yet...the music is a mixture of original narrative folk and traditional Celtic. What each song shares is that they tell stories of special places and the people who inhabit them. Charles Stacey
