QI SONG (2013)

Click here to buy a copy (£5)

Qi (pronounced chee) is a Chinese word meaning life force energy.

Purely one voice, guitar, songs born of my Qi. A CD to gain strength, softness, and stillness from. I hope you will enjoy the songs, and you may even like to sing, play your instruments and move to them.

Each song recorded in one take with no technical enhancements.

Acoustic Guitars: Gibson J200, Fylde Alchemist, Mendietta Flamenco. Handcrafted in natural woods in US, England and Spain respectively.

Recorded by Gerry McNeice, Otley, Yorkshire, UK

All songs written & performed by Kath Reade

Dedicated to Paul and Shaun with all my love.
With gratitude to: Master Zhixing Wang for life changing Hua Gong practice
All my wonderful friends in music and Qi Gong and Dario Gerchi for inspiration and encouragement
