I had no idea she was so popular in Greece! Dave http://www.quinlanroad.com/news.html APR 8/2002 Media Information For Immediate Release Loreena McKennitt travels to Greece to present Hellenic Red Cross with charitable donation raised from gold-level sales of "Live In Paris And Toronto" Stratford-based Canadian recording artist Loreena McKennitt will present a donation to the Hellenic Red Cross in a ceremony in Athens on Tuesday, April 9th, at the Athanaida Arts Centre. The sum of $75,000 (Canadian) was raised from Greek sales to date of her most recent release, the double live CD "Live In Paris And Toronto". The money represents $10.00 per copy sold in Greece, and is earmarked for ongoing relief activities following the disastrous earthquakes in that country in 1999. Greece is the first country where "Live In Paris And Toronto" - which was released in 1999 on McKennitt's own label Quinlan Road and distributed by Greek independent label FM Records - has reached gold status. McKennitt has raised 3.5 million dollars (Canadian) to date from worldwide sales of "Live In Paris And Toronto" for The Cook-Rees Memorial Fund For Water Search And Safety, a Stratford-based charitable fund which supports initiatives to promote water safety. However, the singer was so touched by the 1999 earthquakes in Greece and Turkey that sales in both those territories were earmarked instead for disaster relief. Sofie Varvitsioti, Vice-President of the Hellenic Red Cross, said that the donation would contribute to the "dynamic continuation" of the organization's work in facing disaster situations. "We are deeply touched by the donation made possible from the proceeds of her album sales," she added. McKennitt has long been a popular figure in Greece. Her most recent studio album, 1997's "The Book Of Secrets", debuted at #1 on the Greek album charts, and, like "Live In Paris And Toronto" and the 1994 studio release "The Mask And Mirror", has been certified gold in that territory. Greek megastar Haris Alexiou has recorded two of her songs, adding her own lyrics to McKennitt's music. Loreena McKennitt is one of Canada's most successful international recording artists. With gold and multiplatinum awards to her credit in Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Australia and New Zealand, her total record sales around the world are now close to 12,000,000. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2002 22:35:16 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: Re: Loreena McKennitt news Dave Upham brought forth: >Hello, >Thought the following press release from Loreena's website would be of >interest to her many fans on this list.

Yup, it was definitely released today, but I'm not sure about distribution. I know you can get it online, though (as much as that sucks when you want an album right away!!): www.amazon.com, http://stores.musictoday.com... the album is getting rave reviews so far!

Very electropop, interesting sound and vocals, the lead singer sings in Breton. The only samples I could find were on amazon.fr, but they sounded pretty interesting to me. - --Neile ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V8 #100 **************************
