Hudson Taylor: Weapons Competition (competition closed now)

-
Just because I'm nice, I'm gonna share with you a way how you can win some Hudson Taylor goodies ;)

 To read a more detailed catch-up on Hudson Taylor news in Czech
PRO PONĚKUD PODROBNĚJŠÍ ČLÁNEK V ČEŠTINĚ O NOVINKÁCH OD HUDSON TAYLOR

The competition is related to their latest music video of the song "Weapons", which will be Hudson Taylor's first "proper" single. It will be released on 16th March. You can preorder it on iTunes.


Video was directed by Lucy Tcherniak and shot in a former prison (Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast), starring Liam McMahon. If you wish to read more about what the song means, or can mean... How it came to life, etc., I recommend clicking here and you will be taken to a transcript of what the lads said about the whole thing :) Now, here's that gem of a video. I myself like it very much (surprise, surprise). It is very powerful and gripping... in an Irish sort of way... and it definitely showed me a new perspective to the song that I didn't see before.




As for the competition, I'm just copying the instructions from the band's facebook page, in case you haven't seen it, or... You don't like Hudson Taylor on facebook ?! (How dare you and where have you been and all that... Here's a link for you.) and here are the instructions. You'll have to watch that video again and very closely.
1) List 3 items on the dressing table in Liam's cell?
2) What letter prison wing is Liam in?
3) What does the guard do to stop Liam when he's trying to bash down the door?

Send answers, name & age to htweaponsvideocomp@gmail.com

We're giving away a bunch of HT merch + goodies and the competition will run until single release day on 16th March - its open to anyone & there'll be more than one winner so get everyone you know to enter! 
Some of those questions are a bit tricky, but what have you got to lose? There's just about 2 weeks left to enter so go for it :) and tell 'em I sent ya!

And since I'm being all good and sharing stuff with you, here's the very very latest original song, uploaded to HT's YouTube channel only a couple of hours ago. The song is called "Try" and it is for people who need some encouragement and cheering up :)




I have a feeling this is not the last time I am playing you this song, but there is enough time for that.

Enough of shameless Hudson Taylor plugging. Although I promote what I believe in and I believe in these guys and their music, so... that's that. You'll just have to deal with me never shutting up about them.

Have yourself and awesome start into the new month, lovelies! I will see you shortly with some more music, hehe :) Funnily enough, music is not doing too well on my little poll of topics for DtD. It's over there in the bar on the right, if you want to cast your vote... Just sayin'...

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

Milé divadlo, chybíš mi!

Dnes je Noc divadel. Měla jsem být.. hádejte kde. Nikdy dřív jsem se Noci divadel neúčastnila, nebyla odvaha/s kým jít, ale moje posedlost láska k divadlu je čím dál silnější, a letos to mělo vyjít. Měla jsem to všechno naplánované. Měla jsem dnes být v divadle. A nejsem. Všichni víme proč. Také všichni víme, že se pravidla, respektive možnosti toho, jak divadelní představení (ne)smějí fungovat, mění téměř před očima a záhadně, občas trochu proti zdravému rozumu. Nejnovější perlička: “Divadla smějí hrát, ale bez diváků.”… Ne, nebudu to tady komentovat, nemá to smysl. Je rok 2020. Nic nedává smysl. Místo toho raději napíšu o tom, proč divadlo miluju, co mi na něm chybí a proč je živý zážitek z představení nenahraditelný. Takový malý milostný dopis pro divadlo.

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t
