    Tartan Kiss of Fergus - "A place in your heart called home”

    3 months ago

    After performing at the Fergus Scottish Festival a dozen times, I was inspired to write “The Tartan Kiss” - a love song for the town of Fergus and its Scottish Festival which is the oldest Scottish Festival in North America. I wanted the song to capture the deep emotion that people feel from all the different parts of the Festival experience, both past and present. It’s about yearning for a place in our hearts called home that springs from our shared connection to Scottish ancestry, culture and history. 

     The track features the "Friends of Fergus" which include the Festival’s musical alumnae from as far away as Alabama and Glasgow, Scotland, as well as the Fergus & Grand Celtic pipe bands. Veteran producer Justin Abedin and alumnae from past festivals – Mark Kelso, Drew Birston, James McKie, Mark Fletcher, Scooter Muse & Jil Chambless, and singers Tommy Leadbeater, Gillebride MacMillan and the Mckenna brothers - all added their heartfelt sounds. Check out the song and extra music video content here.

    Min start på 2026 - og "Sikkert for tæt på, del 1"

    3 months ago

    Kære dig,

    Tak fordi du stadig er med på den her nye ting med Sleeve. Det er altid svært at være den, der forsøger at prøve noget nyt og få det til at virke og forsætte. Gad vide hvor mange af jer der også lige nu er startet på noget nyt pga. det nye år. Motivationen er ofte stor når der er mulighed for en ny start. Jeg er meget motiveret og ser virkelig frem til i år. Jeg er startet på mange nye ting. Mest af alt har jeg kastet mig ud i et projekt, som lige nu fylder meget og er ret overvældende. Men det er helt vildt fantastisk og givende.

    Sikkert for tæt på - del 1
    Før jul lagde jeg et opslag op på mine sociale medier med en opfordring til at sende historier min vej. Jeg havde sådan lyst til at skrive sange til og for dem, der følger med og får noget ud af min musik. Jeg satte en frist for at indsende historier til d. 1/1 - 2026 og ville starte mit år ud med at læse de historier, der kom ind. Det viser sig så bare, at der er rigtig mange mennesker derude, der var så modige og skønne at sende mig historier. Jeg har ikke svaret nogen af dem endnu, da det kommer til at tage tid. Det kommer til at tage måneder og måske år. Jeg vil nemlig rigtig gerne give hver en mail, hver en historier, hvert et menneske nok opmærksomhed og tid. Og så må vi se hvor mange sange der kommer ud af det. Indtil videre har jeg åbnet og læst den mail, som ved første øjekast bare hev mig ind. Jeg har læst den mange gange. Jeg har skrevet en sang til vedkomne. Den sang kommer jeg til at spille på min forårstour, hvis vedkomne er okay med det. Lige nu samler jeg mod til at sende sangen til hende. Det er ikke nemme emner der er kommet ind i indbakken, men det er også meningen at her skal være plads til det hele. Alt det, som andre sikkert synes er for tæt på. Det vil jeg tage ind, bearbejde det i en sang som jeg nu gør, og så sende det tilbage igen.

    Jeg ved ikke om det er galt eller genialt for mig det jeg har gang i. Men det føles rigtigt og det føles som om, at jeg gør præcis det jeg skal. Det føles godt.
    De mennesker jeg har omkring mig har lovet at holde øje med mig, hvis det bliver for overvældende med alle de følelser og historier der er i indbakken lige nu - men jeg mærker virkelig kun taknemmelighed og samhørighed indtil videre. Jeg kommer nok til at bruge Sleeve som dagbog for den her proces. Det bliver en serie som hedder "Sikkert for tæt på" - helt ligesom min forårstour hedder. Den glæder jeg mig til. Nu skal jeg bare have skrevet nogle flere sange, men jeg kommer ikke til at fremskynde det. De kommer, når de kommer og jeg åbner først en ny mail, når jeg er klar til det.

    Er du en af dem, der har indsendt noget, så håber jeg du vil læse der her:
    Jeg er så taknemmelig. Du er modig, du er skøn! Jeg passer på din historier og læser den kun selv. Jeg deler det ikke med nogen og alt forbliver anonymt. Jeg har ikke glemt dig. Jeg kommer til din mail på et tidspunkt. Jeg lover, at du hører fra mig<3

    Og så tilbage til den der nye motivation for et nyt år og alt det ...
    Jeg hepper på dig. Men husk, at bare fordi andre er pisse irriterende og begynder at træne, spise sundt og se mindre fjernsyn, så behøver du ikke føle at du skal ændre noget. Især ikke hvis du er tilfreds og har det godt. Hvis du ønsker noget andet for dig selv, end sådan som det er nu, så håber jeg at du finder energien og styrken til at gøre noget ved det. Du fortjener nemlig at være glad.

    Kh

    Voyageur In Song - A songwriting expedition

    3 months ago

    “Voyageur In Song” is a concept record, inspired by the 64 pieces of Canadian history and culture built into the iconic Six String Nation Guitar nick-named Voyageur. As a transplanted Scot who now calls Canada home, I feel very fortunate to have taken this creative and culturally immersive journey with Voyageur.  The project came about after hearing Jowi Taylor’s inspiring multimedia presentation and being given the opportunity to spend time writing songs on Voyageur. The guitar pulled me to write in a way which was both very stirring and very quick. I sat down, put my arms around Voyageur and I asked her to tell me the stories in musical language. I kept listening to try and translate the emotion I felt from the stories inside so I could crack the code. Of everything I heard in the writing sessions, nothing was denied. It seemed to flow through me at en-lightening speed! It was uncanny and spiritual, like I was in service of something greater than myself. As I went hunting down the lyrics for these musical ideas, I had the opportunity to dig into some of the stories and history embedded in the guitar and gained a better understanding of the kind of diversity, pain and beauty that is Canada. It helped me grow in my relationship with my adopted country and in my relationship with myself. The songs that resulted included stories about a piece of Labradorite and it’s billion year journey; the historic & mysterious Massey Hall; the fascinating and tragic story of the Golden Spruce in Haida Gwai,; Canada’s champion Oyster Shucker Joe Labobe from PEI; and the Doukhobors’ brave passage from persecution in Russia to Saskatchewan.

    Once written, as an artist I could hear exactly where these songs could go and continued to take them down that road working with my co-producer Justin Abedin and musicians Gary Craig, Drew Birston, Drew Jureca, Jaron Freeman-Fox, Scott Galloway & Kevin Turcotte. I was delighted when it was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Contemporary Album of the Year Award in 2022. Check out the songs and extra video content here.

    Six in 6/8 - “Let it go”

    3 months ago

    There’s something timely and emotional about the six tunes on this record that flow from Celtic, country, folk, rock and soul, all wrapped up in my favourite time signature - 6/8.  6/8 feels like a musical home to me, a signature of time, a sense of place. I think songs, if they are written from a true place, are like living stories and as such, I try to follow where they lead.  When I look at this album and what came together - in terms of writing the songs, the production and even the cover art - I see a work of a particular time. I was lead to grapple with emotional and social problems in our world, without looking away, and that process changed me.  "Six in 6/8" was co-produced with the wonderfully talented Justin Abedin and involved a cast of 19 incredible musicians, recorded by ten different engineers in 11 different studios from Toronto to Montreal and Nashville to Alabama. Chad Carlson, the Grammy award-winning engineer who mixed the re, had this to say, “Man your songs are poetry! So damn good! Love them all.” Check out the tracks yourself and watch some extra video content here.

    “Six in 6/8” does more in 20+ minutes than many albums do in 60. Expertly produced and performed by a first rate selection of musicians this is a terrific record full to the brim with fantastic songs. RED GUITAR MUSIC “. It’s definitely not an easy task recording an album with just six tracks, with a total of a little more than twenty three minutes and to succeed in telling you six poignant and profound stories of humanity in the widest and most varied meaning, and to do it with excellent melodic taste, including country, traditional Irish sounds, classic songwriting styles and pop music. “Six in 6/8” showcases all these qualities in the best and sharpest way ….This record is worth listening to.

    Dans "Non Stop", Daryl Ngoga nous plonge au cœur d'un tourbillon de pensées incessantes, un sujet universel qui résonne avec une génération surconnectée et en quête de sens. Ce morceau Afro R&B percutant mélange des mélodies douces et entraînantes avec des paroles introspectives. La chanson est axée sur des thèmes d'introspection et de santé mentale.
