| | Ben Edom Spindrift CD Ben Edom Discography of CDs
After living on a boat as a child, Ben Edom won an art competition at age 11 and bought his first guitar. He played Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical and Contemporary as well as Scottish and Irish Folk music, in bands and solo, taking him from Scotland to Europe, the USA and Australia. He now delights in focusing on Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar, (both steel and nylon string) on which he has developed an infectious and exciting repetoire incorporating a wide spectrum of Celtic, Jazz, Classical and Contemporary styles. Always finding and developing the mood and essence of a tune, from soulful and ancient Gaelic Airs to the driving rythms that make guitar mastery a joy to hear, his deep love of music shines through, blending passion, beauty, pride and humour in every note. A decade in Australia playing with some of Queensland's best fiddlers, pipers, dulcimer players and harpers including singer/harper Debra Carey, put him in great demand for recording and performing at venues as diverse as Irish pubs, exclusive weddings at 5-star resorts and musical theatre to the Woodford International Folk Festival. Ben and Debra's band Celtic Soul drew in many talented musicians and they released their CD 'A Crofter's Heart' at the Australian National Celtic Festival. Returning to Scotland to play in the millennium Ben gigged around the Highlands with Celtic Folk band Carnyx during 2000 featuring at the Linn Gu Linn Festival at the Royal National Mod and appearing on BBC TV. Ben was invited to play at the Ullapool Guitar Festival in concerts alongside John Renbourn, Clive Carroll, Adrian Byron Burns, Robbie McIntosh and the late Isaac Guillory. The enthusiastic response from the audiences, guitarists and festival organisers led to Ben recording his album 'SPINDRIFT' which was released in June 2001 through Celtic Soul Records. Other recent appearances have included the Edinburgh Festival, The Heart of Scotland Festival, Celtic Connections and Gosport & Fareham Easter Festival. 2002 sees Ben touring Scotland, England and Wales, including the Cambridge Folk Festival, Gainsborough Festival, Portpatrick Folk Festival, Isle of Jura Festival, concerts at Brodie Castle and other various concert venues, as well as folk clubs throughout the UK. This years highlight was at the Cambridge Folk Festival where Ben was featured on Brian McNeill's Showcase on the Radio 2 Stage, alongside Altan, Fiddler's Bid, Salsa Celtica, Cara Dillon, Rory McLeod, Alison Brown, La Volee D'Castors, Slide and Emily Slade. 'SPINDRIFT' has received enthusiastic reviews and airplay on radio from Inverness to the South Coast of England including Frank Hennesey's Celtic Heartbeat on BBC Radio Wales. Ben has justcompleted working on 'The Complete Songs of Robert Burns' CD Series with Dr Fred Freeman and musicians such as Marc Duff, John Moran and John Nicols. The series is soon to be released on Linn Records. Current projects including working with Ross Kennedy, one of Scotlands great singer/guitarists and Debra Carey a leading Harpist and Gaelic Singer in the group Dileas. Of course, this is on top of working on his next album due to be released in 2004. Ben is a dedicated believer in the relevance and power of Acoustic Music. As a solo Acoustic Guitarist he is one of that small band of musicians committed to keeping music live, passionate and honest, interpreting real music from his Scottish roots and other cultures with heart, soul and guitar mastery that touches his listeners lives. 'I believe my music reflects my deepest inner feelings from it's pure traditional roots to it's best contemporary fruits.' Ben Edom Spindrift Songs | 1. | Spindrift/The Wedding/Finn McCool's Reel |

Spindrift music CDs
$10.79 
Papa Roach was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best New Artist and "Broken Home" was nominated for Best Short Form Music Video.
Papa Roach's major label debut on Dreamworks Records. With songs about everything from divorce ("Broken Home"), to struggles with alcohol ("Binge"), the four-piece, hard rock outfit laces the listener with magnum doses of reality.
Written mostly with its audience's tortured psyches in mind, INFEST aims to let the kids know that they aren't alone in dealing with the pressures and obstacles life can bring, with songs such as the socially conscious "Last Resort," which discusses suicide, alienation and isolation. The production on the album, via Jay Baumgardner, is polished and yet passionate, and singer Coby Dick's vocals are stingingly sharp and energetic. Some of INFEST's other highlights are "Dead Cell," the snappily-titled ...

Spindrift songs
$16.19
Moonrise is a rich and diverse collection of original, classical and international pieces. Hear the warm sound of a rare 200 year old classical harp with songs by composer George Winston and Kim Robertson herself. Also included are traditional and classical works even more ancient than this beautiful harp.Kim Robertson's name has become synonymous with the gentle but powerfully evocative Celtic harp, an instrument which for a thousand years held within its strings and wood the spiritual heartbeat and poetic breath of the Celtic race. Kim Robertson's remarkable ability to reach into its strings and pull from it hidden treasures has made her one of the most popular harpists performing today. Combining the authentic traditions of the Celtic Harp with a dynamic flair for world rhythms and on-the-edge improvisation, Kim Robertson has stretched the boundaries of the harp. This daring redefinition of harp music is at its most vibrant in her concert appearances. ...

McPherson's Lament -- The illegitimate son of a Scottish Laird and a Gypsy woman, Jamie McPherson was arrested in 1700 for "Freebooting" and condemned to hang. Legend has obscured his true nature, perhaps a dashing outlaw, a Robin Hood, a "freedom fighter," or a common criminal. In any case, he was a fine fiddler and composed this tune himself, on his last night. Having played it while standing on the gallows platform, he offered his violin to any who would have it, but the assembled crowd was too frightened to respond. McPherson smashed the fiddle over his knee (or, in some tellings, the executioner's head) and threw it to the ground, stepped to the noose, and was hanged. Tradition holds that the execution was unjust, and a reprieve arrived later the same day, too late. The violin, still broken, is proudly displayed at the McPherson family museum. Barbara Allen / Peter Bailey / Morrison's ...

When asked who are some the hardest working Hip Hoppers in Jacksonville "Duval" Florida. One of the names that come to mind would be RAW from No Luv. Growing up near the birthplace of Hip-Hop, in his hometown of Philadelphia, P.A., RAW's love for music and Hip-hop began at an early age. Having many influences, one that stands out is his family. Guided into Hip-hop by his older and younger brothers, they exposed him to the various arts surrounding Hip-Hop. As a change in pace, RAW's family decided to move to Jacksonville, FL. Which helped him uncover the Genre of southern Hip-Hop even more. When asked which is more influential in his music. RAW states "It would be an injustice to try and name all of the artist that have influenced me. I love all regions and all genres." Attributing his skills for versatility, to the appreciation he has for all regions.One of the first works RAW put out, with his newly formed group "No Luv,' was the single "Roll Wit it Stroll Wit it", which instantly became a hot item on the streets. After seeing the reaction from fans, No Luv then decided to provide a full length album "Who 2 Trust" which featured the talent of members Mr. Floyd, B, T. Dirty, and Go. "Who 2 Trust" began getting a buzz immediately, with approximately 2000 albums being sold. Shortly there after, the group had to deal with the loss of their close friend and member Go, whom after his life being taken to soon, became "The Late Great Go". After experiencing the repercussions of the loss of his friend, RAW began pushing the album even harder. 'Who 2 Trust' was the last thing Go's voice was on. I wanted the whole world to know how great of a rapper he was. I decided ...
