The Gathering
The Gathering - a 'super group' playing from the heart - consists
of Lucinda Drayton (from Bliss, the voice of A Hundred Thousand
Angels); Russell Stone (of R & J Stone, writer/singer of the
worldwide hit, 'We Do It'); Phil Hudson, guitarist with The Lighthouse
Family; Marcus Cliffe, bass guitarist who plays with Mark
Knopfler; Mike Timothy, former MD of Massive Attack; and Signy
Jakobsdottir, percussionist with Capercaillie. Apart from the artists
and bands mentioned above, these talented musicians have worked with
the likes of Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner. They have written worldwide
hits and played all over the globe.
Startled by the Familiar - Nothing was pre-written; they simply took
the time to abide; and then picked up their instruments and played.
It was awe inspiring! Slowly the grooves, chants and improvisations
took form to produce an organic music that is beyond category.
