The Wee Wee Man. Songs from the Moon Shed (2010)
Multitalented artist Randall Stephen Hall has released The Wee Wee Man – Songs from the Moon Shed, a large collection of songs, poems and monologues. Randall Stephen Hall hails from Ulster (Northern Ireland) and describes himself as an Ulster Scots Irish.
The music is a mesmerizing combination of blues, Gospel, folk, and northern Irish music, laced with quirky good humor. Stephen Hall produced the CD at home on a laptop with multitracking. His captivating stories are clearly inspired by his experiences in the North of Ireland.
“I have a strong interest in narrative, poetry, music and rhythmic sound,” says Hall. “Some of my work revolves around story-telling with different age groups, whether in schools, further education or community groups. Most of the tracks here were written and recorded since January 2010 after strong airplay of “The Wee Wee Man” on The Gerry Anderson Show on BBC Radio Foyle, BBC Radio Ulster which was great.”
Aside from his talent as a poet and songwriter, Stephen Hall is also a reputable illustrator. Together with the CD, he sent us copies of a activity books and a beautifully illustrated version of the classic children’s book of The Duck, retold by Stephen Hall. The text appears in English with an Irish translation.
