All the Prayer is track 4 from Gerda\u2019s album of her own songs NIGHT TOUCHES DAY, described by Rory Macdonald of Runrig as \u201ca new Humanist anthem, a really groundbreaking, important song\u201d; by Folk Radio UK as \u201can ancient enchantment. Backed up by strings, drones and layered vocals, the song implores us to live for the moment and the real glories of nature, not the imagined glories of hereafter\u201d, and by The Scotsman as \u201cstrikingly beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerda was nominated for the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards 2014, as Scots Singer of the Year. Her album NIGHT TOUCHES DAY has been widely acclaimed. Like her poetry, drama and prose, some of Gerda\u2019s songs are autobiographical, some are other people\u2019s stories, some a combination of both. They cover a range of styles, from folk to swing. Theatre collaborations brought her together with the fine musicians on this album: Konrad Wiszniewski – saxes; Seylan Baxter – cello; James Ross – piano; Rob MacNeacail \u2013 bass guitar and harmonium; Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Kyrre Slind \u2013 guitars, mandolin, banjo and lute, and Inge Thomson on accordion. \u201cOne of the most refreshingly original albums I\u2019ve come across in a very long time\u2026defies definition \u2013 truly inspirational.\u201d COLUM SANDS, BBC RADIO ULSTER. \u201cStunning songwriting\u2026singing and arrangements are impeccable\u2026full of lovely wee quirks and surprises, it regularly caught me out by going to places totally unexpected but totally right. Braw, braw wark, aathegither.\u201d DICK GAUGHAN.<\/p>\n
