Venues included St Andrew's Halls, the Third Eye Centre, the Metropole and Close Theatres Glasgow, the George Hotel Edinburgh and the Troubadour London. Music was written and songs were performed in Joan Ure's revue Nothing May Come Of It and for a production of Mother Courage: both staged by the Glasgow University Arts Theatre Group.
A one-off performance of songs accompanied an exhibition of paintings and photographs at the Netherbow Theatre Edinburgh. In Canada songs written on Haida Gwaii were given extensive radio play in Northern B.C. Bob Smith, the host of Hot Air, liked the audition tape submitted to the CBC Vancouver and she was placed on their list of artists.
During a second stage, the performing and writing of songs gave way to a different interest (see www.custtad.com) and, as a consequence, the songs were placed on a side burner with only occasional attempts to do something with them.
This third stage arrived much later than had ever been envisaged but the determination to make up for ‘lost’ time is firm. And from the accumulated collection of mostly unheard material a series of CDs is being prepared. The first was the EP Where The Last Tide Runs:three songs from Haida Gwaii. The songs are small with a playing time of only 6 minutes and 30 seconds. The second EP – also of three small songs - is entitled Where The Pebbles Grind And Scrape.
(On the subject of small songs: after hearing, a very long time ago, Peggy Lee’s CD Sea Shells which has on it three songs of around one minute in length, Sheila has had no reservations about making them small - providing they are able to carry what needs to be said).
Where The Last Tide Runs and Where The Pebbles Grind and Scrape were both arranged by Wild Biscuit Music. www.wildbiscuit.com
The first single is entitled Don’t Hold The Hurt To Make It Easy (keyboards and arrangement by Brian McNeill of Ca Va Sound Glasgow) It has recently been played by Iain Anderson on his Radio Scotland program.
Hello Singing Bird was originally intended to be a basic vocal and acoustic guitar demo to illustrate the kind of songs Sheila writes. It consists of twelve songs which – in a one-off session - were recorded onto cassette tape. But, once they had been mastered by Brian Young of Ca Va Sound Glasgow and an insert had been made it was decided to add them to the material which already was ‘out there’.
Provisional titles for two other EP's are GET ON THAT BOGEY PAIN and FIVE JOAN URE SONGS.
The title of the show at the Netherbow Theatre, LOOKING OUTWARDS AFTER LOOKING IN, was used for a book of songs and poems which was printed in 2000. An extended version of this – using the same title – is almost complete.
