Sinéad O'connor – Biografía Sinéad O'Connor – Biografía Sinéad O'Connor nació en Glenageary en el Condado de Dublín, es la tercera de cinco hijos. Sus padres se casaron jóvenes y tuvieron una relación conflictiva, separándose cuando Sinead tenía ocho años. En 1979, O'Connor dejó a su madre y se fue a vivir con su padre y su nueva esposa. Sin embargo, a la edad de 15 años, su afición al hurto y el ausentismo escolar le llevaron a ser internada en un Asilo de la Magdalena, el Centro de Formación Grianán dirigido por las Hermanas de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad. En cierto modo ella prosperó durante su estancia, especialmente en el desarrollo de la escritura y la música, pero le irritaba la conformidad impuesta. En 1983, su padre la envió a Newtown School, una exclusiva escuela internado en Waterford, una institución con una atmósfera mucho más permisiva que Grianan. Con la ayuda y apoyo de su profesor de lengua irlandesa grabó una demo de cuatro canciones, con dos versiones y dos de sus propias canciones que más tarde aparecieron en su primer álbum. Junto con Colm Farrelly formó un grupo llamado Ton Ton Macoute. La banda se trasladó a Waterford y O'Connor estaba en Newtown, pero pronto abandonó la escuela y los siguió a Dublín. Su sonido se inspiró en el interés de Farrelly por las músicas del mundo, aunque la mayoría de sus seguidores percibió en la voz de O'Connor y su presencia en el escenario los rasgos más característicos de la banda. El 10 de febrero de 1985, la madre de O'Connor murió en un accidente de coche que, a pesar de su tensa relación, fue un duro golpe para la cantante. Poco después dejó la banda y se trasladó a Londres. Ha estado casada cuatro veces. Su primer matrimonio fue con el productor musical John Reynolds, quien co- produjo varios de sus álbumes, incluyendo ”Universal Mother”, tienen un hijo juntos. Se separaron en buenos términos y Reynolds continúa trabajando como su productor y batería. Su segundo matrimonio fue con el periodista Nicholas Sommerlad en 2002 hasta 2006 y luego se casó con Steve Cooney en 2010, relación que duró hasta 2011. Su cuarto matrimonio fue con el irlandés Barry Herridge, terapeuta. En octubre de 2007, durante una entrevista en El Show de Oprah Winfrey, O'Connor reveló que cuatro años antes le había sido diagnosticado un trastorno bipolar y que había intentado suicidarse en su 33 cumpleaños el 8 de diciembre de 1999. En marZo de 2010, O'Connor apareció en “Anderson Cooper 360 °” así como publicó un articulo de opinión en la edición dominical del diario The Washington Post para hablar sobre el escándalo de abuso sexual de las instituciones católicas En 2011 escribió en el Sunday Independent en respuesta al escándalo de abuso sexual en la diócesis de Cloyne, describiendo el Vaticano como "un nido de demonios". Apostaba por la creación de una iglesia alternativa dado que "Cristo está siendo asesinado por mentirosos" en el Vaticano. O´Connor reconoce su fe cristiana. - Carrera musical: ComienZa su andadura firmando con Ensign Records y se hace con un manager con experiencia Fachtna O'Ceallaigh, cabeza de Mother Records (U2). Se embarcó en su primera gran tarea, grabar las voces para la canción "Heroine", que co-escribe con el guitarrista de U2, The Edge para la banda sonora de la película Captive. O'Connor adopta de O'Ceallaigh las mismas costumbres, éste había sido despedido por U2 por quejarse de ellos en una entrevista, siempre muy abierto con sus puntos de vista sobre la música y la política, Sidney defendió las acciones del IRA y declara que la música de U2 era "rimbombante ". Durante las sesiones de grabación de su primer disco se quedó embaraZada de su baterista John Reynolds. The Lion and the Cobra fue la sensación desde su lanZamiento en 1987 y alcanZó el estatus de disco de oro y la nominación a un Best Female Rock Vocal Performance para los Grammy. Su segundo álbum I Do Not Want What I Haven´t Got fue calificado como "segundo mejor álbum del año" por la revista NME. El álbum contenía su éxito internacional "Nothing Compares 2 U", una canción escrita por Prince y originalmente grabada y editada para uno de sus proyectos paralelos, The Family. La canción se convirtió en un éxito internacional masivo, llegando a número 1 en varios países. También recibió nominaciones al Grammy, incluyendo Álbum del Año y Mejor Interpretación Vocal Pop Femenina. Se ganó el Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación de Música Alternativa, pero boicoteó la entrega de premios. Después de pasar nueve años dividiendo su tiempo entre Londres y Los Ángeles, O'Connor volvió a su ciudad natal, Dublín, a finales de 1992, para vivir cerca de su hermana y centrarse en el cuidado de su hijo. El 3 de octubre de 1992, O'Connor apareció en Saturday Night Live como invitada musical. Cantó una versión a capella de Bob Marley "War", como gesto de protesta contra el abuso sexual en la Iglesia Católica Romana, cambiando la letra de "racismo" por "abuso infantil". Luego mostró una foto del Papa Juan Pablo II a la cámara mientras cantaba la palabra "mal", y la rompió en pedaZos mientras proclamó "Luchar contra el enemigo real", y arrojó los pedazos a la cámara. El público estaba completamente en silencio, sin abucheos ni aplausos, el productor ejecutivo Lorne Michaels recuerda que "el estudio se quedo sin aire", él ordenó no utilizar la señal de aplausos, describió el incidente como "en cierto nivel, una traición", pero también "una seria expresión de fe." Universal Mother (1994) no tuvo el mismo éxito ni atractivo para las masas . En 1995 estaba de gira con Lollapalooza cuando se retiró al quedarse embarazada. El EP “The Gospel Oak” en 1997, con canciones acústicas, tampoco logra el éxito de anteriores álbumes. Faith and Courage fue lanzado en 2000, incluyendo el sencillo "No Man´s Woman", y contó con las contribuciones de Wyclef Jean de Fugees y Dave Stewart de Eurythmics. En la víspera de su estreno, O'Connor declaró ser lesbiana, y luego se retractó de la declaración. Su álbum de 2002, Sean-Nós Nua, marcó un cambio de registro versionando canciones populares tradicionales irlandeses, entre ellas varias en la lengua irlandesa. Versiona una canción popular canadiense, Peggy Gordon, interpretada como una canción de lesbianas, en lugar de amor heterosexual. En su documental, Song of Desire Hearts, declaró que su inspiración para la canción fue una amiga lesbiana que cantó la canción para lamentar la pérdida de su pareja. Después de un breve periodo de inactividad y su lucha contra la fibromialgia, declara su intención de retirarse de hacer pop mainstream / música rock, y optó por trasladarse a otros estilos musicales. El álbum de reggae Throw Down Your Arms apareció a finales de 2005 y fue recibido con críticas positivas. Se basaba en la cultura y el estilo de vida rastafari tras haber pasado un tiempo en Jamaica en 2004. Presentó el sencillo "Throw Down Your Arms" en The Late Late Show en noviembre, donde criticó la guerra en Irak y el papel desempeñado en ella desde el aeropuerto de Shannon, Irlanda. How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?, Se lanZa el 20 de febrero de 2012. Después de haber planeado una extensa gira O'Connor anunció en su sitio web en abril de 2012 que estaba "muy enferma" y que había sufrido una crisis grave entre diciembre 2011 y marZo 2012 . Esto dio lugar a la cancelación de la gira y las actividades musicales para el resto de 2012. En noviembre de 2012 deja clara su recuperación con una actuación acústica impresionante en St. Pancras Church, que se hiZo para la prensa y los medios de comunicación. Fue una experiencia mágica y trágica, hermosa como la poesía puede serlo, su talento conmovió hasta las lágrimas de los periodistas en la sala. Sinead actuó en Later with Jools Holland el 20 de noviembre de 2012 con la fantástica banda con la que estará de gira durante 2013 y ganó el 1er premio en el concurso "quien dio la mejor actuación en el programa de Jools Holland?" siendo la artista más votada por el público de la BBC en el programa musical de televisión más famoso de Inglaterra. “Take of Your Shoes” – Live video BBC – Later With Jools Holland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1jY62Of9ME “Nothing Compares” – Live video BBC – Later With Jools Holland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDqxYpOz8UI Sinead O'Connor realiZará una gira extensa durante 2013 en Europa para promocionar el nuevo álbum y el nuevo single "4th and Vine".

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

  • Isaac Watts - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Isaac Watts - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Isaac Watts(17 July 1674 – 25 November 1748) Isaac Watts (17 July 1674 – 25 November 1748) was an English hymnwriter, theologian and logician. A prolific and popular hymnwriter, he was recognised as the "Father of English Hymnody", credited with some 650 hymns. Many of his hymns remain in use today, and have been translated into many languages. Born in Southampton, England, in 1674, Watts was brought up in the home of a committed religious Nonconformist — his father, also Isaac Watts, had been incarcerated twice for his controversial views. At King Edward VI School (where one of the houses is now named "Watts" in his honour), Watts learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. From an early age, Watts displayed a propensity for rhyme. Watts, unable to go to either Oxford or Cambridge on account of his non- conformity, went to the Dissenting Academy at Stoke Newington in 1690, and much of his life centred around that village, which is now part of Inner London. His education led him to the pastorate of a large independent chapel in London, where he found himself in the position of helping trainee preachers, despite his poor health. Taking work as a private tutor, Watts lived with the Nonconformist Hartopp family at Fleetwood House, on Church Street in Stoke Newington, and later in the household of their immediate neighbours Sir Thomas Abney and Lady Mary. Though a Nonconformist, Sir Thomas practised occasional conformity to the Church of England, as necessitated by his being Lord Mayor of London between 1700 and 1701.

Acknowledgements Some years back, an ardent devotee of Ma, Sri Onkarnath Goenka, an Industrialist, presented me a beautiful profusely illustrated book —Rabindranath Tagore’s ‘Gitanjali’. The paintings were done by a reputed Indonesian Artist. A spark ignited in my mind, the wish to put together a similar work on the life of our Holy Mother. I expressed my feelings to Goenkaji. He readily agreed and offered all help. In the meantime a famous artist, Mrinal Das was entrusted with the work of painting the murals on Mother‘s life, to be put up on the inside walls of the Anand Jyoti Peetham in Kankhal. He could have been the right artist for this work. But unfortunately, he was no more when this collection was planned. Late Das’s able assistant Sri Ratan Acharya, who was also associated with the former job was contacted.

  • Séamus Begley Trio Brings Together the Musical Gifts of the Irish Artists - Seamus Begley, Dezi Donnelly and Matt Griffin
    The Séamus Begley Trio brings together the musical gifts of the Irish artists - Seamus Begley, Dezi Donnelly and Matt Griffin. One can experience the passion and intensity that these performers bring to the stage combined with an intimacy and warmth that will make you feel part of the performance. What sets them apart in the first place is their beefing-up of the rhythmic side of the music while maintaining a purity in the melodic playing and instrumentation. Edgy in their delivery, tunes and songs are given a powerful, dynamic new flavour. This is a celebration of Traditional Irish music and song that you have to experience. Their concerts provide stunning arrangements of traditional Irish masterpieces. Séamus Begley - Accordion & Vocals Séamus Begley is regarded as one of the finest Traditional Irish musicians and singers, having reshaped Irish traditional music over the last two decades. He has won Ireland's prestigious National Entertainment Award for Traditional Music for his acclaimed CD Meiteal (Working Together), recorded with Steve Cooney. His album with guitarist Jim Murray “Ragairne” was acclaimed Folk/Traditional album of the Year by “The Irish Times” and “Hot Press”, the leading music magazine in Ireland. His latest work, The Bold Kerryman is an album of songs, produced by John Reynolds (who has worked with Damien Dempsey, Seun Kuti, Sinead O’Connor, Passenger, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Brian Eno and David Byrne) Séamus is the quintessential Irish musician - an eager storyteller known for his sharp wit and famous for pumping out tunes. He plays with an energy that is alarming, bringing a frisky spontaneity to his box-playing, belting out jigs, slides and polkas with rapid sprays of reckless ornamentation before making a sudden key change into a bitter-sweet air, sung or played on the accordion.
