BOOK PAUL CHI for your HAPPY NEW YEAR CONCERT 2007-08
Every Christmas and New Year Paul Chi`s Happy New Year song is a popular download and Paul offers a very special seasonal concert to celebrate this, bringing you many of the most popular songs ever written - Imagine, My Way, Auld Lan Syne... AND a few of his own pieces - Revelation, Happy New Year and Peace On Earth. Are these songs classics too? You decide.
With a memorable performance at The Angel House Brighton on Sat 6th Jan 2007, the Happy New Year song-cycle was laid to rest till next Christmas... Enjoy a set of reflective songs (not party sing-alongs!) specially prepared for the season, and to balance this, Chi`s unique ability to make songs up on the spot for any occasion!
THE SPRING TOUR ALBUM 2006 (1hr 11mins)
Produced from over 7 hours of mini-disk recordings, mainly of gigs in digs on the tour - very cosy
Half of the material was entirely improvised. Read the TOUR REPORTER
"Paul`s unique ability to channel music and words of the moment and his courage to express himself uncensored is what makes Paul`s performance so exciting and awe inspiring." Sharon Lewis (see full review - link below) www.sharonlewis.net
Copies of the album are available for all those who absolutely love Paul Chi! The quality of the mini-disk recording is unspeakable! However, certain atmospheres have been developed at the editing stage and the listener may feel enchanted, if somewhat distant from the source, as if eaves dropping on another world. You can't make out every word but Chi scrutinised the original sound recordings and transcribed most of the lyrics...
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT GIG
Paul Chi, as the special guest of Manickam Yogeswaran, performed his Peace on Earth and Feel the Colour songs at the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday 12 October 2005. This event, a CD launch concert for Yoga`s Peace for Paridise album was, the musicians were informed, unprecedented in the history of Parliament. Quite a gig! See www.yogeswaran.com
"I'm so greatful to Yoga for giving me this extraordinary opportunity. It's one house concert I will never forget! The audience, a mix of colours and professions; from Members of Parliament to Inter Faith Ministers, from doctors and soliciters to musicians and composers - Jocelyn Pook attended. Perhaps the spirit of my songs will have a positive infuence on foreign policy! Joking aside, the message at the heart of the songs I sang seemed very befitting for these times and those austere rooms. The response was very warm and enthusiastic and I hope I'm invited back again!" Paul Chi
