"We had a few technical hitches with the Myspace SING site , but they seem to have been sorted out now.
I just wanted to write something about the project.
Over the last twenty five years or so, I've been involved with a variety of organisations in all kinds of different ways ..from Shelter, to Amnesty International, to Free Tibet Campaign to Greenpeace, Oxfam, Medecins Sans Frontieres, The Prince's Trust..etc..etc.. It's a long and varied list. My long term goal was, that as well as these causes, I could become involved with an issue where I could really focus, and make a more concerted difference. My first visit to South Africa to take part in the launch of the first 46664 concert ( incidentally all instituted by Dave Stewart ) was a profound experience for me in all kinds of ways.
I realised that the Hiv Aids pandemic was affecting women and children on a scale that is absolutely staggering, and I felt that as a woman, mother, and musical communicator, I have an obligation to try to affect some positive change. I want to create musical projects that can bring people together, in a way that can help give a "voice" and empowerment to those that seem to have none.
Music is a powerful vehicle for messages, and connection. This is the very first SING project. I hope there will be many more to follow.
