Nollaig. 2012. tionscadal "Glaoch"; The President's call, Inspiration, Arts, At President Michael D. Higgins' invitation, some of Ireland's and the world's renowned writers, musicians and singers, gathered at the home of the President of Ireland to make a special programme dedicated to Irish people worldwide. http://imeldamay.co.uk ,Johnny Got a Boom Boom http://youtu.be/S9d1yuMvxrc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentish_Town_Waltz "Kentish Town Waltz" is a song by Irish rockabilly singer Imelda May. Written solely by May, the song was released as her fifth single on November 15, 2010 and the third single from her third studio album, Mayhem. The song, which has been described as "the standout song" of the album,[1] is one of May's autobiographical songs and was also rerecorded in New York with iconic musician Lou Reed. The song was originally recorded during the Mayhem sessions at Embassy Studios, a sixteen track analogue recording studio in a converted cow shed, near Basingstoke, United Kingdom in mid-2010. It was eventually featured as the fourth track on Mayhem. American record producer Tony Visconti became a fan of the song soon after its release and forwarded the song to former Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed who then invited May to fly to New York to specifically rerecord the song.[2] May has also admitted that she found it strange to work with a musician as iconic as Reed stating that ""It was weird asking, 'Would you mind doing that line again, Mr Reed, please?'. And he was like, 'Sure! It's your song!'" May has also said that in-studio she and Reed "got on like a house on fire." Ar Lá 'le Páraic 2013, d'iarr an tUachtarán Michael D. Higgins ar Éireannaigh ar fud na cruinne le cabhrú leis chun ceiliúradh domhanda a dhéanamh ar chultúr na tíre seo, ar féidir linn uilig a bheith bródúil as. Rinne Glaoch ón Uachtarán, ceiliúradh ar an Éireannachas agus an chruthaitheacht Éireannach trí fhocail agus trí cheol. Agus é caint faoin tionscadal, dúirt an tUachtarán: "Síos tríd an stair seo 'gainne, bhí an litríocht, an ceol agus na healaíona ina fhoinse dhaingne dár sinsir; [...] ach ina theannta sin rinne siad spás a oscailt amach don athnuachan agus don athrú agus scaip siad suáilce. Tá mé ag súil go ndéanfaidh an clár Éireannaigh gach áit a mhisniú le dul leis an acmhainn luachmhar seo arb é ár gcultúr é; féachaint ar ár gcuid féidearthachtaí cruthaitheacha agus ár Éireannachas a shaothrú timpeall an domhain ar mhódh dearfach, mar a rinne ár n-ealaíontóirí agus ár saothraithe cultúir".

Speaking about the project, President Higgins said: "I am very grateful to all the artists who responded so positively to my invitation to be part of this worldwide call to Irish people to celebrate an Irishness of which we can all be proud. I am very pleased that RTE and The Gathering 2013 agreed to be partners in this important initiative. Throughout our history, literature, music and art have been a source of great strength, have helped us cope with adversity, have not only soothed the loss which they described so well but also opened the space for new possibilities of renewal and change and created joy. I hope the programme will encourage Irish people everywhere to engage with the valuable resource that is our culture, to look to our creative possibilities and to project our Irishness into the world in the positive way that has been the achievement of our artists and cultural workers."
