We'd like to take a moment and introduce a new Celtic Radio Sponsor:CHRISTINE WEIR"Born in Scotland, Christine's parents moved to South Africa when she was 5 years old. In the early 1990’s she and her brother Graham, founded an a cappella harmony group in South Africa called Not the Midnight Mass. Over two decades 'Not the Midnight Mass' released 5 CD’s, played to capacity houses, and won numerous awards.
In 2014 Christine’s first solo album 'INVISION' was described as "emotionally atmospheric, showcasing Weir's soaring beautiful vocals and underlid with thoughtful, supportive arrangements" (Karen Rutter, The Cape Times).
An accomplished singer and singing teacher, in 2016 Christine put pen to paper and published her first book called "Shut your Trap and Sing", a light reading instruction manual on singing techniques. The book was selected to be part of the WordFest at the Grahamstown festival 2017.
True to her Celtic roots, Christine performs a Celtic music set called 'Christine Weir and The Kilts' and in 2017 she released her 2nd solo album “Weir Celts!” which includes Scottish and Irish traditional songs as well as her own Celtic compositions. Christine completed 'Celtic Music Traditions', through the University of Madison, Wisconsin. In addition, and she is currently completing an Dip LCM in Scottish Traditional Music as well as learning to play the penny whistle."
