A Blessing Beannacht - John O'Donohue Poem


Beannacht — A Blessing 
by John O’Donohue

Thank you to my friend Gibby Keys for reminding me of this glorious Irish poem.

Beannacht a blessing
Shortly before his death in 2008, the late Irish poet John O'Donohue recited his poem  Beannacht, meaning blessing, during an interview with Krista Tippett. Woven throughout this reading are his close friends' photographs of him in his Celtic landscapes.

John wrote Beannacht for his mother, Josie O'Donohue 
Beautifully delivered by John in his soft Irish lilt - each verse a gem to be treasured.




Beannacht — A Blessing — by John O’Donohue

On the day when
The weight deadens
On your shoulders
And you stumble,
May the clay dance
To balance you.

        And when your eyes
       Freeze behind
       The gray window
       And the ghost of loss
       Gets in to you,
       May a flock of colors,
       Indigo, red, green
       And azure blue
       Come to awaken in you
       A meadow of delight.

                When the canvas frays
              In the curach of thought
              And a stain of ocean
              Blackens beneath you,
              May there come across the waters
              A path of yellow moonlight
              To bring you safely home.

                         May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
                      May the clarity of light be yours,
                      May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
                      And may the protection of the ancestors be yours.

                         And so may a slow
                      Wind work these words
                      Of love around you,
                      An invisible cloak
                      To mind your life.

From Anam Cara by John O’Donohue

Citizen's Theatre - Terry Neason & Johnny Beattie 2012

Johnny Beattie Diamond Celebration 2012
The Citizen's Theatre Glasgow
 Sunday, May 20 - 2012


We had a brilliant cast of celebs and an amazing evening celebrating 60 years in showbiz for Scottish comic legend Johnny Beattie. The night included warm hearted video messages from Sir Alex Ferguson and an hysterical one from the 'Big Yin' Billy Connolly.
I had the great pleasure of singing Johnny's favourite Sinatra song, My Way. I decided to go with just vocal and piano. Michael Barnett played and I was joined onstage by the fabulous Musichoir - we did it our way!

Center: Terry Neason, Neil Thompson, Musical Director & Musichoir

Great friends - Terry Neason & Judy Sweeney backstage at the Citizen's Theatre

In the dressing room - left: Judy Sweeney, Libby McArthur, Terry Neason, Fiona Kennedy
Both Libby and Judy are River City actresses and Fiona has the singing voice of an angel.

After show glow - Terry Neason with highly talented Scottish Hollywood actor, Alan Cumming OBE - (Jings! Apparently he confessed to going commando in his kilt to Buckingham Palace to collect his OBE from Princess Anne...could have been a royal flush.)
Re-united after all these years. Alan was part of Victor & Barry with Forbes Masson and they were the regular comedy 'turn' on The Terry Neason Show for STV.

WAR BABY - Terry Neason Band - Tom Robinson classic

WAR BABY
by Tom Robinson
The Best of Vintage Glasgow Mayfest


In Memory of Neil Hay
The Band:
Terry Neason : lead vocal
Hermie Longalong: sax
Paul Henderson: guitar
Neil Hay: bass
Mike Travis: drums
Gordon Dougall & Jim Hannah: keyboards
Ray Dowling: backing vocals

TERRY'S VOCAL TIPS:
1. Drink at least 1 - 2 liters of water a day.
2. Avoid fizzy drinks and carbonated water as it can lead to dehydration.
3. Avoid eating dairy, as it produces thick mucous. (cheese, milk, yogurt, chocolate)
4. Eating fresh pineapple or pure steam inhalation, may help to clear light mucous.
5. ALWAYS gently warm up the voice before singing or presenting.
6. Preparation of content helps to avoid stress, which can cause tension in the voice.

Terry Neason Gig - Sheltered Love & He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Sheltered Love & He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
Vocal - Terry Neason
Piano - Brian Prentice


I wrote this song in Ireland after a break-up and insisted on singing it in the concert I was doing at that time, Screams 'n' Kisse
s.
Woh! Yes, one could say, it made for an emotional performance. Sob! Sniff! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! cathartic or what.
Being a fan of poetry, I included the W.B Yeats poem, He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, in the intro. It's got to be one of the most beautiful poems ever written.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.


Rather than use a gig video, I thought it would be kool to use some romantic images. These stunning pictures from my chum, Suzi Lemon, set the mood perfectly.
The Changing Light of Loch Fyne...I used 4 transitions and they change slowly during the song.



Terry Neason - If You Go Away - Ne me quitte pas

IF YOU GO AWAY

After some time in the office, I decided it's time to get back to the music. 'If You Go Away' is from our recent concert, Torch Songs of Pleasure 'n' Passion. Brian Prentice plays an amazing arrangement on piano.
Written by Rod McKuen and based on the beautiful Jacques Brel song, Ne me quitte pas.

Terry Neason & Karen Dunbar - Calum's Cabin 2008



Benefit Show on The Isle of Bute for Calum's Cabin


12 year old Rothesay boy, Calum Speirs lost his fight for life little more than a year after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Brave Calum, a first year pupil at Rothesay Academy, died peacefully at home in Mountstuart Road on Friday 16th February 2007. The funeral service, much of it arranged by Calum himself, was held at the former High Kirk on Wednesday 21st February 2007. Calum was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour only a few days after the first symptoms were noticed last January- but he’s left his family with a host of happy memories from the 13 months since then. In the 13 months, Calum was an inspiration to all who knew and met him. Calum always laughed and smiled, and his priority was always to think of others.

Calums Cabin
Calum and his family had decided that they would like to keep helping others by having a Holiday Cabin in Calum’s name to allow other families who are dealing with a child with cancer to have a wonderful holiday on the Isle of Bute. Details of the proposed Cabin can be found on the Calums Cabin page
