Roy Smiles - Drunks & Dreamers Album: Sounds
Of The Orient Genre : World
Music / Instumental Red Admiral Records Dave Mason was born on 17th February 1949 and was brought up
near Oban. His musical career started when he joined the Royal Signals in
1965. His career took him all over Europe and playing clarinet with the army
band he became the inspiration and teacher of the youngsters who joined the
Signals band. He left the Signals in 1970, initially teaching clarinet and
string bass with Durham Education Authority and then in Argyll and Bute in
1974. Teaching in the same 6 primary and secondary school for 35
years he retired from teaching in 2009. As well as Dave's career in education he continues to enjoy a
career performing with various Scottish Dance Bands and has been part of many
BBC recordings. Dave Mason is a very gifted teacher and built up a rapport with
his students that they will remember way beyond their school years. He
nurtured, inspired, guided, encouraged and most importantly enjoyed teaching
children. Since Dave's retirement from full time teaching he has been
focusing on composing commercial music and percussion music for his Advanced
Higher pupils that he continues to teach part time. Dave Mason is an outstanding performer, composer and musician,
we hope you will enjoy his music for many years to come as he ventures
on new musical journeys. Sounds Of The Orient is Dave's first compositional release on
Red Admiral, we hope you enjoy the moods and come back for his next Trip. Hamlet Zhou & The Movement Band Album :Mavanga Hamlet Zhou (36) is a Zimbabwean musician and songwriter, though
originally born in the country he moved to the city for a better education. Hamlet started playing at the age of 9 with a home made
banjo/guitar. His reputation as a guitarist and vocalist has progressed for
the past 15 years gaining regular live and recording experience with
musicians from Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Mozambique. Performing at
festivals such as
Mapungubwe, Opikopi, The Standard jazz festival, Masa festival in the Ivory
Coast, Africa festival Germany and Roskild festival in Denmark. The Movement Band Hamlet Zhou - lead vocals and guitars,
composer Lazarus Wiliam - drums and backing vocals Alastus Mushoriwa - keyboards and bass guitar Since the band's formation and release their first album
?Chirimumoyo' in 2006 they have been ambassadors of Zimbabwean traditional
music to South African festivals. They play Mbira music, which is important
to keep the flame of Zimbabwean culture burning. It helps the young grasp
traditional values and maintains their identity, as the generations are
slowly moving from African and Zimbabwean culture towards western type of
music. The Band use their music as media to maintain and safeguard the
threatened culture to teach all generations to lead lives free of killer
diseases such as HIV/AIDS. The song titled ?Mavanga' advises the young to
take heed of advice from the elderly in order to live safely and longer. Band members were groomed into refined artistes by Mbira music
masters such as Andy
Brown, Chioniso Maraire, Ephert Mujuru, Dawn Gumbo, German
based Stella
Chiweshe and Thomas
Maphumo now stationed in America. Local music events are held around town mainly at beer out-lets,
and are a real crowd puller. Visitors to Harare from all over the world enjoy
cultural music. They attend the shows creating a big market for traditional
music instruments such as Mbira and beating drums. They can learn how to play
the instruments and export them to their countries at the end of their visits
which also helps support the musicians and workers of the area. The Movement Band members want to sustain and take cultural
music to greater heights with a cultural music centre in Harare.
Manufacturing traditional musical instruments and teaching people how to play
the them. Approaching potential donors such as Non Governmental Organisations
(NGO's) for assistance has been a help but more is needed to secure the
future of Zimbabwe culture so the band welcome any opportunity to tour and
exhibit to the outside world through events and festivals, in Africa and
abroad. History of Kent Bands Kent MusicBiz http://www.kentgigs.com/musicbiz/Index.html Musicians/Acts/Teachers/Studios - Wanted and Available at Kent
