YEATS TO MUSIC ON TOUR
Brandies Band and the a cappella group Factor 7 are having a fabulous time playing Yeats to Music live in Belgium and the UK! Our audiences say they are moved, touched, and excited, and they want to start reading Yeats poems when they get home :-). They join us in singing, snapping their fingers, and driving a magical hum (in D) through the venues where we play… (picture taken in LEAF on Bold Street, Liverpool)
Flemish media pick up our story and songs
Several Flemish media (Radio 2 Flanders, RTV regional television, VRT NWS) and newspapers (HLN, Gazet Van Antwerpen, Het Nieuwsblad) picked up the story of Brandies Band being highlighted on RTE (Irish Radio/TV). They felt our story was heartwarming: “Their picture is next to a picture of the Rolling Stones on the RTE website”. Great fun! All links can be found under “Press”.
