Hello,

Over the past couple of months I have come to really enjoy the music by the
group "Mouth Music". The tradition of Gaelic and unaccompanied voice juxtaposed
with modern elctronic wizardry intrigues me. I would like to know more about the
background of the group, the individuals, or whatever. Also, are there other
recordings by the group or individuals?

The folowing is the info I have:

I don't know anything about them at all (other than I have the discs).

But I never heard about this--does anyone here have it? Is it
essential? Is there an order address?

I got it from a blurb I saw on the network:
From Nov. 93 FOLK ROOTS: Talitha MacKenzie, the original singer for
Mouth Music, has a solo album out in the UK: the title is SOLAS
and the label & number are Riverboat TUGCD 1007.

I think this is pretty much it. I saw Talitha last week at a ceilidh, she
sounds very much similar in concert to her sound on record. I can't say it's
really my thing, but she's obviously talented.

Small world. I went to school briefly at Lourdes High, just round the corner
from you and also St John's Grade school. I stayed on 7th St SW for a month
and appeared an KTTC too. I guess the geese are appreciating the centrally
heated lake at this time of year!

The duo Mouth Music was shortlived (1988-1991) and only performed in public 3 times before Martin got fed up with Gaelic music and decided to go it alone. He started a band (also called Mouth Music) working more with instrumentals and songs in English (he started out as an English teacher and didn't speak Gaelic). As Mouth Music was supposed to be a 3-album Gaelic music Project, I carried on with 2 more Gaelic albums (Sòlas and Spiorad) before recording Indian Summer in 2006. I recently bought back the rights to Spiorad and have just rereleased it on my own label, SONAS Multimedia.
