Impromptu appearances during shopping hours will be followed by a live concert at 8.00pm on Sunday July 6. http://igg.me/at/stpetersSingers We also hope to raise sufficient funds to record this so that it can become more widely available, and are appealing to as many people as possible to participate in the project by giving whatever they would like, in return for a reward or perk. It's quite a good way of pre-ordering the CD !

The text describes an eternal being that receives the ancestral light to form part of the stellar mantle. It provides support and guidance to those who are looking for a path. Lyrics And the shadow of twilight fades when the light of the ancestors forms a mantle that protects and guides us. A being illuminating the galaxies The certainty on the shipwrecked path The glint of existence, time and distance. The ancient aurora of golden light at the awakening of the dawn the eyes radiant with certainties condensed into rays of light. The eternal radiance of the soul: an instant of infinite distances and the birth of a million dawns.  less
