At the Concourse IV : On the Willow Tree

 Dawn in front of many Christmas trees!

Dear friends,

Thank you for taking the time to come down to On the Willow Tree gig. I absolutely enjoyed myself. After 4 times at the concourse, this is probably the least nervous experience I've had, and the most relaxed. The songs from The Last Morning are matured performance wise and I look forward to revisiting a select few in future gigs. The new songs - On the Willow Tree and The Counting House were really fun to do, and my guest musician, Jer Ming was awesome in lending his multi-talented fingers and voice to the songs.

Thanks Jer Ming for the throat singing, the bodhran, jawharp, whistles, accordion, piano and whatever else you threw in. The mixture was delicious. Thanks also to Jerry Tan who supplied the photos.

I look forward to a lovely 2010 - my 2nd child is due in May and our 1st kid recently had her birthday in November 2009. The family always comes first in the scheme of life, and I hope the gigs reflect the kind of fun and inspiration that I get from them.

Thanks everyone for making the gig such a Christmas!

On the willow tree
we hung our harps like heads
because we did not ask you
because we did not ask you 

Featuring new songs from Dawn Fung and guest performer, Chen Jer Ming, On the Willow Tree is a very different take on the kind of folk tunes since The Last Morning album. The two sets of old and new songs will be weaved into a narrative of where life is headed before and after Christmas.
