road pagan spirit gathering 2012 posted on june 28 2012 by damh the bard 4 the last couple of months have been pretty intense when it comes to travelling only a week and half after we got back from australia we were heading off to the pagan spirit gathering in illinois i went to the psg in 2010 when it was in missouri and apart from the intense heat and humidity i had the most wonderful time with this community so i was really looking forward to this event i left the uk in full rain weather gear to be met in chicago by 30 degree heat and sunshine lovely we were picked up at the airport by shaun who had just picked up crystal one of the other presenters while they were waiting for us to come out they said they were looking for a pagan looking musician obviously they had no trouble finding us and soon we were on our way to the site this year s psg was being held at stonehouse park a wonderful space with a swimming pond showers static trailer caravans a shop a great stage area and sunshine a few people were complaining about the heat but after what we d just been through in the uk i loved every minute of it and soaked it up on the first night we watched arthur hinds from the pagan celtic band emerald rose play a great unplugged set then it was up in the morning for the town meeting to play my first song to the community this camp really does try to create a cohesive community and the morning town meetings are a good part of why this works it brings everyone together and prepares them for the day ahead i was due to play my first gig that night so had been asked to play a song at the meeting i have to say i was pretty nervous but i stepped out and played green and grey this song probably of all of my songs seems to be one that really speaks to the heart of pagan people by the second chorus the crowd were singing along a great start to the day evening came and i went to the stage area an hour before i was due to play for set up and sound check but there was no sound engineer there he was coming and 7 30 half and hour before i was due on stage okay i thought it s only me and a guitar that should be fine but i had also asked arthur hinds to join me on drums for a couple of songs anyway at 7 30 the sound engineer arrived got the guitar working but no vocal then got the vocal working and lost the guitar then got arthur s bodhran working but with a half second delay coming through the speakers oh and then neither my vocal mic nor my guitar worked we carried on like this for 25 minutes and people were arriving i hate sound checking in front of an audience but i had no choice arthur decided that it was far more important to get my vocal and guitar right so left the stage sadly we weren t going to be playing together tonight at 5 to 8 both my vocal and guitar were coming out front of house speakers but no foldback so i couldn t hear what i was playing but by then it was too late so i had to start in the end the gig was amazing the people were amazing since my last visit to psg in 2010 something must have happened as lots of people knew the words to the songs and we had a great night together with everyone joining in at the end to wild mountain thyme i had to take a photo from the stage i did have help from another musician on stage that night while i was in australia i was given a little cuddly duck called d d rock complete with a travel diary the idea was that d d would travel with me to the usa appear on stage with me i would fill in the travel diary and then i would pass him onto celia who would do likewise and pass him onto another pagan musician d d would travel through a lot of hands with each musician band filling in the diary when he makes it back to australia he ll be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to doctors without borders a great idea and a great cause so he jammed with me onstage and later i passed him over to celia from there he went to arthur hinds then to beltana spellsinger and from there who knows over the week i played an unplugged night set and another set at noon on the last day each one was great fun for the last two songs of my noon set i was joined on stage by arthur hinds celia and a band that will be huge in the pagan community in coming years tuatha dea it was an amazing jam session with the most awesome energy raised i think some people caught in on video so hopefully i ll get the chance to see one of those i also took part in a men s ritual whilst the women of the camp were exploring women s mysteries i won t go into detail here all i can say is that it was an honour to stand with maybe 200 men in circle and take an active part there seems to be a lot of opportunities for pagan women to meet up for magic but not so many for men i think this is something we should explore more within our communities here in the uk another wonderful event was the pagans around the world panel these panels are very popular at camps and conferences in the usa and are becoming more so here for a couple of hours the panel were questioned about the differences and similarities between paganisms around the world my music has taken me to many places and many communities and the one thing i ve realised is that there is a massive area of common ground between pagans worldwide when we work from this place of common ground great magic happens trouble only seems to occur when we are working from our own personal detail trying to get others to think feel and act in the way we do about our own gods practices etc open rituals and camps that come from the place of common ground really take our community as a whole forward together so i was standing on the stage with selena fox and margot adler two huge influences on my paganism in my early days it was a great honour for me and these two powerful women continue to be such a huge inspiration so much more happened during the week but i think i ll keep those as memories saying goodbye was hard but i hope that this wasn t my last visit to the wonderful psg i now have a month in the uk with gigs here then it s off to play my first gig in canada in august share this share on facebook opens in new

you damh but i ve got a scratchy throat adrienne said peering over the bar in the kitchen i was sitting at their table and had just thought the same thing about mine i looked up i think i m going down with something too it was monday morning and me and cerri were due to run our sacred poetry workshop that night as the day moved on both me and adrienne started to feel worse the evening went beautifully as i said in the previous blog post but when tuesday morning arrived adrienne was close to losing her voice i was not as bad but with me colds often move onto my chest and cause my asthma to come on i think i spent that tuesday in denial as i was due to play the concert for all of the sponsors who had clubbed together to raise the money to fly me and cerri all the way our here there was no way i was not going to play that gig it was being recorded for a live cd to be given to the sponsors at a later date now i was a little concerned about that to be honest i knew i could play and sing well enough to entertain these lovely people but i wasn t sure how that cd would come out in the end we all had a great evening at the wonderful wheatsheaf hotel the wheatie and i think apart from a couple of places where my voice croaked the cd will be fine however when the next morning came i could feel that familiar feeling that told me the cold was on the move and irritating my lungs with the three cities tour approaching there was no way i could risk it so i managed to get an appointment with a local doctor and went straight on the antibiotics it was the right thing to do that night me and cerri were due to go to the pagan in the pizza bar moot but neither adrienne nor myself thought it would be a good idea for us to go so cerri went on her own i was sad to have missed the night particularly when i saw the video of william s poem and the gift of p uke the pagan ukelele group who had practiced a version of my song noon of the solstice the next morning we were off to melbourne for the concert at bar 303 i loved this gig last year the venue is a back room painted black with sofas all around the edge and amazing modern art posters everywhere it s the kind of venue you would find in brighton to be honest bohemian and well groovy sadly adrienne had still problems with her voice so spiral dance had to do a tune set for this gig but they did brilliantly and everyone had a great time dancing to their music for me this year had the same vibe as last year and it was another wonderful night in fact during my song the wheel i invited the audience to add some harmonies to their singing and what i heard gave me goose bumps you can hear it in this video from the night a wonderful moment after the show i was introduced to kebabs aussie style i made the mistake of opening mine up a lesson learned for another night sleep then up to get to the airport to fly to sydney we arrived at the bald faced stag hotel with plenty of time this was another venue we played last year adrienne was feeling a little better this night and took the stage to sing with the band and it was great to see and hear them all together again it seemed that over the year a lot of people had heard my music in sydney and the response from the audience here was simply magical i took the stage with spiral dance again to sing their version of my song spirit of albion at the two adelaide gigs i had broken a string when i played spirit of albion during my set i started to think that maybe i should leave this song for spiral dance as this land and this audience knew their version not mine so i didn t play it at melbourne or sydney and i didn t break a string and i really wanted to have a beer to celebrate but i was still feeling a bit grim and was on the antibiotics with another gig to play so i just stuck to the water another kebab bed then up to catch a plane to brisbane it had been raining most of the trip it had been raining when we left the uk although while we were away britain had its summer apparently but brisbane was gorgeous we were met at the airport and taken to the hotel which was just a short walk from the venue this was the brisbane witches ball the venue was a large bar with a good sized dance floor it was quite a rush to set up the gear and sound check and then pretty much straight away people were arriving now on the whole my music isn t background music i do play some songs that people can dance to but for me it s more about engaging and entertaining an audience going on a sacred journey together as people arrived for the witches ball i could feel that we might have a mismatch this event was a social event where people were going to to catch up talk to each other have a social drink and party i took the stage and although i had the attention of a good number of people to be honest most didn t really take much notice of what was happening on the stage and carried on with their conversations so i turned my attention to those who had come to sit and listen and we had a lovely evening together in the future i d love to return to the brisbane pagan community and play a concert for them to enjoy as a concert hopefully next year the next day the weather was lovely we took a walk along the river and stopped at a bar for a little drink we thought we d only be there for a little while there were no more concerts so i decided to have a beer or a number of beers i was introduced to the fat yak a lovely aussie beer while others were drinking dirty grannies a lovely aussie cider well we sat down for a drink the nick ordered more drinks i bought a jug of drink the we all sat down and had a drink a band turned up and played some classic tunes we all sang along and had another drink it was sunny warm with good friends and good music the perfect way to end a great tour we had a couple of days free before we had to leave to return to the uk so on the monday we met up with louise and little maddy so i could take maddie s cuddly duck d d rock on the road with me and pass him and his travel diary on to other pagan musicians in the usa to help raise money for doctors without borders see the video below then on the tuesday we went on another tour of some of the south australian vineyards yum as i write this i m returning in my mind to the goodbyes at the airport i love australia and i love the aussie people they are a breath of fresh air to this brit who has a hard time with all of the uk s health and safety laws and the way that political correctness has taken some of the soul out of our character with that aussies that edginess is still there each time i go to australia i get reminded to chill out relax and don t take stuff so personally as they say no worries it s all good i really
