Are you a woman in rural business? If so you may be interested in a new women's network called WiRME - Women in Rural Music Enterprise. Immediately you think ‘my business does not directly relate to music', but, think again, this little nugget of information might have something for you. WiRME is a tiny off-shoot of WiRE - Women in Rural Enterprise. There are many small WiRE networks in and around rural England, and whilst this one focuses on music related business, there is plenty of opportunity for you to meet like-minded business women with a mission to exchange business enterprise opportunities. The next WiRME will meet on Monday, 15 December in Comberton, Cambridgeshire at 8pm. Women are invited to join in the music jam session - so bring along your voice, instrument and business card. Women who want to come and listen are most welcome. Throughout the evening there will be opportunities for all to mix and mingle and exchange business over a drink. For more information please contact Moving Tone.
Moving Tone
WiRME is led by composer and vocalist Anne L Ryan, director of www.movingtone.com Cambridgeshire's live music information service. Anne's musical interest lies in writing compositions and songs for voice and voice ensemble. The genre of music that best describes her taste is new music composition, world and meditation. An Irish vocalist she sings songs, both original and traditional, inspired by Celtic, Spanish, Yiddish and Georgian folk song traditions. Whether a cappella, or accompanied by soundscapes, quartz crystal bowl, voices, or instruments, her song performances celebrate the timbre, quality and range of an exceptionally captivating voice.
Anne also presents Blue Tone, a radio show dedicated to experimental, avant-garde, electro-acoustic and new music on www.209radio.co.uk 105FM, the community radio for Cambridge every fourth Thursday at 9pm. Anne's next solo public performance will be Friday, 16 January 2009 at 7.30pm, the Moving Tone Sessions at Michaelhouse, Trinity Street, Cambridge.
