The House My Sister Drew...
Hello everyone.....
WOW....It's been a long time, but I'm back! I've just been in hibernation for a while, like a little squirrel...and now I'm diligently searching through the soil under my feet to dig up buried thoughts and treasures that are ready, finally ready to be shared and most importantly HEARD!!
So I would like to reveal one of those precious, buried thoughts that has become a reality... Abimaro & The Free applied to a funding opportunity that PRS were running called Women Make Music, and the project was to help support and encourage the amount of women making music...Believe it or not only 14% of members of PRS are women....so in other words we need to encourage women to make music!
I am really aware of women in music who are constantly using their sexuality and their image to sell records, and I was finding it harder and harder to find women who made music which entirely spoke for itself,without the perfect body or perfect hair... Especially for 'Urban' women I was scraping the barrel to find popular artists who weren't playing the 'sex' card... so I proposed to write 5 new compositions with Abimaro & The Free, all based on the subject of female relationships that we never hear about...The relationship a woman has with her mother, her father, her brother, her sister...all these relationships that shape a women, and yet we never really hear about when we turn VIVA Hits on!!
So we found out a few months ago that PRS had accepted our application, and we are being funded to put on a showcase of our compositions!! I want to stress that this is a show inspired by women, but also written for men. We want to be able to offer both men and women a chance to hear a woman's story from a new perspective....so lads bring down your mothers, your sisters, your boys who want a different point of engagement...and lasses please bring your husbands, your brothers, your fathers, your uncles and your girls...Be inspired and hopefully encouraged to make music that gives a voice to the unspoken things that might not sell records, but have meaning that affects and resonates with us all.....
You can buy your tickets here friends... http://bit.ly/wjQiId Support & enjoy!!
