Loreena and Tinkerbell

Katie — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:11:28 GMT

Hello all, so I just joined this tribe, but like so many of you I have been a huge fan of Loreena's forever, and I had the great fortune to see her on her north american tour in Boston and in Providence, and she is beyond words. In any case, I get her Quinlan Road newsletter and I thought it very interesting that Loreena not only wrote and performed the theme song for the upcoming Disney DVD release Tinkerbell, but she also narrates the story. Just thought Loreena fans would be interested. Here is the link

Possible get-together in DC at the DAR blg. concert?

Mary — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 02:04:51 GMT

Hello, I actually reside in N PA but my sister lives in DC. I am working (!) on getting tickets for the event there. I believe it happens in July. If there are other fans going to this show, I wondered if perhaps we could meet up? I'd love to meet fellow Loreenites! :)

So what do we think of the new CD??

Jay — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:49:06 GMT

I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. I had really hoped her travels would have leant more Middle Eastern/Mediterranean influence to her work. Not that it's not good, but it' just more of the same (still good to hear some new stuff though!). Also it's a bit short on songs...only 9 tracks. I hope she puts out another one in a couple of years now that she's managed to get ack in the studio.

The View From Here, Issue 3, Vol. 1

Sagewomon — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 21:20:12 GMT

The View from the Swans in the Pond

This is a current update from Loreena in her own words regarding the work on her forthcoming album. The article is beautifully written and, from what she has revealed, the recording sounds like it is going to be another incredible gift from the Muse personified.

New Recording Forthcoming

Sagewomon — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 03:01:22 GMT

According to her website, Loreena McKennitt has been working on some new material. Recently, she was at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios where she recorded three new songs. No news of an album release date, but the fact that she is working is music to my ears.

You can check out all the info and see current photos at www.quinlanroad.com.

Oh where, oh where can she be ?

moonsidhe — Wed, 27 Apr 2005 20:50:13 GMT

Much like Dead can Dance breaking up, the loss of Loreena to the music scene broke my heart. LUCKILY, Dead can Dance is coming back and playing in Oakland in Sept.....I hope that Loreena comes back to us. The world could sure use her about now. Every since the death of her fiance, she has been on a hi-eightus, for an unknown amount of time.

Sad.

Similar artists?

Zed_UK — Thu, 25 Aug 2005 15:13:41 GMT

Hi All,

As new works are not imminently forthcoming from LM I thought I'd throw out this question in the interests of broadened horizons and all that....

Has anyone got any recommendations for other artists producing similar works?

To get the ball rolling I could suggest Candice Night (also canadian) Ocean Gypsy and Hanging Tree are particularly good from Under a Violet Moon.

Six degrees of separation?

PollyMoller — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 15:03:11 GMT

Appropriate for Tribe I thought. Can each of us get to Loreena McKennitt through six degrees? I think I can in three -- my second album was mixed by sitar player Ashwin Batish, who told me that Loreena is a big fan of his music, and that her assistants call him up regularly to see if he has released anything new so they can buy it for her. So Ashwin, her assistant, then LM. :)

First time with Loreena?

PollyMoller — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 15:01:29 GMT

When was the first time you heard her music? For me, it was a visit to A Bustle In Your Hedgerow, a tiny metaphysical shop in San Mateo, CA. The proprietor had "The Visit" on the PA system. :)

Hey Everyone!

Lauralana — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 15:03:48 GMT

I love Loreena McKennitt's music. I was turned on to her by a friend a few years ago. I bellydance and her song "Marco Polo" was the first solo I ever performed.

I would also like Dante's Prayer played at my funeral. I think it's a gorgeous song.

I think she is working on a new album now.

BB,
Laura
