Hello and welcome to my My Space page.
Basic Info I'm Fil and I'm am a singer. I am currently working on my 5th CD. I'm a bit of a reluctant songwriter - my first love is for interpreting other people's music and I have a passion for the old folk songs that I grew up with. I come from Co. Fermanagh in the North of Ireland although I now live on the other coast in Co. Down.
Live Gigs I tour with a small combo - myself on guitar and keyboards, Tom McFarland on percussion and backing vocals and Brendan Emmett on mandolin, mandola and guitar. We perform a mixture of material from my recordings - traditional Irish songs, my own compositions, covers, some great tunes and generally have good fun on stage. I'm often told I talk too much, but hey ho, I think listeners need to know a bit about songs, and anyway... I have the mike... hehe
And as well as the general concert gig, we also do a themed show based on my most recent CD, Songbirds. This concert is an entire evening of Irish songs from the 1920s and 1930s and is an expanded version of the repertoire on that CD. Songbirds was a big project in my life - a TV series, a DVD, a CD and now a show - my tribute to the wonderful women who first recorded Irish music and brought it to audiences around the world. If you're interested in finding out more about it, please visit the Songbirds page at my website - www.filcampbell.com
Right Now Right now I am setting up distribution in various territories and am also working on tours for 2009 and 2010.
And the rest... I also get to work occasionally as a broadcaster on local radio in Newry and I spend a lot of time coaching other singers and preparing them for a life in the music industry which is a real joy for me
Loving My Space I'm loving meeting all the people I'm coming across here on My Space and I rotate my top friends regularly and quite often randomize them so I get to see what people are up to, so check some of them out - there's some amazing music and craft among the people who have honoured me bey joining my friends' list.
I add people to my site for many reasons
I look forward to meeting you somewhere on the road or at least in cyberspace and i hope that 2008 is a wonderful year for us all. Fil
