Would it be possible to have some info / links to this organisation: "Solas"???
I'm familiar with the band but not the organisation.
Thanks,
JP
Hi jan,
there is no organisation called Solas. It means Light, in the native language of Ireland. i was looking for a name and that sounded nice.
So it would be a bit like me asking you about the organisation called 'humanity'!.
Anyway, i'm a bit disappointed that this post has already gone off the main page. It seems that Indymedia, as an activist network, is being clogged up by press releases and stories, while, informative, are not about ACTION. perhap it has to do with the design of the site. but i do think that priority needs to be given to ACTION AND ACTION AND ACTION. it shouldn't be just another news site.
Do you have any more questions about hte CD project or about me?
Do you think that there might be a difficulty or at least some confusion releasing a CD as a project, under the banner of "Solas", given that there is still a semi-active band of that name about...
Perhaps, if the CD was titled: "Solas", that wouldn't be a difficulty...
I think you're being a tad unfair on the contributors in the main to Indymedia, whilst there is alot of stuff on here that might not be the most decisive stuff in the strictest sense, I find there is plenty of action in general and the importance of Indymedia is that it gives people a relatively broad audience to talk to...
Things slip off the front page all the time, I'd suggest you probably be best off hosting something on a seperate site and looking for contributors through some of the irish music sites and maybe getting someone to stick up the odd poster in Dublin, perhaps even the old ad in the back of Hot Press (in the musicians contact free section (do they still have this? I haven't bought HP in about 3 years)...
I was a little interested in the background of the organisation (when I thought there was one) in terms of who would be releasing the CD, so perhaps you might like to tell us a little bit about yourself!!!
In terms of your experiences in both activism and music,
Thanks,
JP
Indymedia is just one of the places where i'm posting this, but if you give me your email address I'd greatly appreciate if you'd print off a few copies and put them up or give them to people you thought suitable.
I you sent an email to fitzgibbong@yahoo.co.uk....i can answer you there. i'm 30, originally from Limerick, now living in Kerry.
do you make music?
