Film of the launch night for my debut EP, Begin Began Begun at Universal Hall on Friday 6th September 2024. Support on the night was from the brilliant Beth Porter of The Bookshop Band, Spell Songs and Red Carousel string quartet.
My most excellent band for the launch comprised of Ewan MacPherson (cajon, bass, kalimba and vocals), Jamie MacRae (harmonium, Casio keyboard, banjo and vocals), Beth Porter (cello, ukulele and vocals) and Maria Quinn (piano, Casio keyboard, percussion and vocals), with guest appearances from Anna Howells (clarinet and vocals) and David McNeish (piano, guitar and vocals).
The EP was produced and engineered by Ewan MacPherson at Universal hall between February and June 2024. You can find out more about it via my website - www.shirleybarrmusic.com
