About Me

I am mainly known for writing humorous songs but this profile is strictly for the more sentimental and dare I say it passionate side to my song-writing (well we all have our moments!) .................... One of the most recent additions to this page 'Our Lady' is one of two songs about the regeneration of the Bridlington Spa...The first song 'Only Sleeping' was written in March 2006 at the time of the Spa's closure. The second song 'Our Lady' has been written in celebration of the Spa's grand opening on the 31st May...I will be performing both of these songs in the Spa Theatre on the 23rd June for the grand launch of the Bridington branch of the University of the Third age..............Like thousands of other Yorkshire people I have many fond memories of this beautiful place so to be given the opportunity to perform these songs in the new refurbished theatre is a great honour and I know it will be a very moving experience for me...........To listen to 'Only Sleeping' visit www.myspace.com/shirleyhigtonmusic2 or click on girl on beach pic with my name above (top friends) Also to read about the inspiration in the writing of the Spa songs visit my blog........................................................ ..................................................

Influences: NEW SONG 'RAY OF HOPE'....................................................... ..................... ............................................................ ...................................................... 'The inspiration of Songweavers is to unite us for Peace through music, international dialague and charitable causes and to convey a message of Peace to the world. Although we come from all parts of the world, divided by continents, oceans, mountains, seas and rivers, our site enables us to collaborate, create different versions from the same songs/tracks/lyrics/poetry without physically being in the presence our collaborator(s). We can come together and play music regardless of geographical distance, race, religion, color or background. Music unites us all, heals our hearts and soul.The current president of Israel Mr. Shimon Peres heard about Songweavers and donated lyrics dedicated to Peace. He saw a vision that the world can unite for Peace through music and our site can help the world do that' (Lusia - Songweavers)................................................ .....Lusia contacted me a couple of weeks ago to see if I would be interested in putting the following words to music. It has taken a while because I have been so busy with other projects but yesterday I finally managed to work on Mr. Peres beautiful poem and turn it into a song. This is the first recording and I plan to work on it much more and hopefully by the end of the week I will have a neatened up version with the addition of orchestral sounds............

Provide my foe and friend a bloodless day. Invite boys and girls for peace to pray, O, Ye Then send a ray of hope for a new way........................And bless streams with love's sway.
