''Inversions'' is an album, released on 28 June 2019, by British singer-songwriter and pianist Belinda O'Hooley. Jude Rogers in ''The Guardian'' called it "a set of beautiful piano and spoken-word pieces". Mike Ainscoe, for ''Louder Than War'', described it "a series of touching and heartfelt outpourings...Revealing and yes, in a way, cathartic, ''Inversions'' captures Belinda O'Hooley at her most insightful". In a four-starred review for the '' Morning Star'', Steve Johnson said: "This mainly instrumental solo album showcases O'Hooley's talents as a pianist and composer, inspired by her family musical heritage following the passing of her father in 2017. The Swallows Tail and The Bonny Boy come from her father's musical background in the rural Irish west, while Cadair Idris and Aran Fawddwy are inspired by the mountains and valleys of Snowdonia where the album was recorded...as an instrumental album this is an enjoyable and relaxing experience from an artist at the height of ...

The Colourist
The Colourist is an American rock band from Orange County, California, formed in 2009 by Adam Castilla, Maya Tuttle, Justin Wagner, and Kollin Johannsen. The band has been inactive since Tuttle's departure in December 2016, but reunited in 2021 and are making music. History 2007–2012: Beginnings Castilla and Tuttle met while performing in the band Paper Thin Walls, who rose to notoriety after being chosen to play the 2007 Led Zeppelin reunion concert in London. The name "The Colourist" was borne out of a conversation with a friend of the band—a film student who was working with a film colorist at the time. Because the name was not already used, the ensemble decided to use the British/Canadian spelling for aesthetic and availability reasons. After years of performing concerts in their home town, the ensemble captured the eyes of major record labels during their residency at Los Angeles' Bootleg Theater. In July 2012, the band signed a record contract with Universal Repub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uillean Pipes
The uilleann pipes ( or , ) are the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland. Earlier known in English as "union pipes", their current name is a partial translation of the Irish language terms (literally, "pipes of the elbow"), from their method of inflation. There is no historical record of the name or use of the term ''uilleann pipes'' before the 20th century. It was an invention of W. H. Grattan Flood, Grattan Flood and the name stuck. People mistook the term 'union' to refer to the Acts of Union 1800, 1800 Act of Union; this is incorrect as Breandán Breathnach points out that a poem published in 1796 uses the term 'union'. The bag of the uilleann pipes is inflated by means of a small set of bellows strapped around the waist and the right arm (in the case of a right-handed player; in the case of a left-handed player the location and orientation of all components are reversed). The bellows not only relieve the player from the effort needed to blow into a bag to maintain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
