ENYA NEWS » videos

I guess that you have already heard about the 1987 documentary series that brought Enya’s first solo album. The story goes that the BBC producer Tony McAuley told Roma that they were looking for several “Celtic” composers to write music for their series in the working. Enya and Nicky quickly put together a demo for ‘March of the Celts’ and sent it out. The BBC people loved it so much they hired Enya on the spot to provide music for the entire series and the rest is history.

Today, I will talk about Enya video documentaries as promised. There are just a handful so it should be easy to get them all, right? Haha!

So you’d like to get Enya’s music videos as well? Obtaining all the videos of your favourite Irish lass is unfortunately not as easy as it might seem. For some mysterious reason (I’d say copyright issues but who knows), there is no single release that would regroup all of them. Uaaah!

The cheapest and easiest way to start your collection is to download the videos from iTunes or other online store. It is fast and you have no dvds to dust and scratch. But if you are like me, you want to hold those shiny little discs in your hands. And I will help you.

Our little gallery is slowly growing and now contains 1625 pictures. The newest photos are always first: Amarantine (thanks to Elizabeth), Shepherd Moons, Watermark, Tokyo.

Special mention for the pictures from The Very Best of Enya Collector’s edition booklet. The quality is unfortunately not amazing as they are not very large to begin with and I don’t have my scanner with me. I just took photos with my camera and cleared them up in Photoshop. My favourite is the sunset photo and I used it as my wallpaper.

In other news, yours truly is also enlarging her Enya collection and ordered the Grammy EPK because it contains an alternative version of A Life in Music documentary. Five minutes later, she found out that a part of the alternative version can be seen online on the Stylorouge website. It’s very close to the standard version available on Enya – The Video Collection & The Very Best of Enya DVD but the footage is a bit different and Enya talks about Fallen Embers and Tempus Vernum in the end.

Finally a first sight of a promotial activity! Eurochannel wil broadcast an exclusive interview and video clips of Enya on January 10th at 8pm. Soon, Eurochannel will also organize a contest with limited editions of The very best of Enya on their website.

Warner Music Norway upladed a promo video for the new release.

Enya is currently promoting the second single of the album My! My! Time Flies!. The track was released only digitally with no additional b-sides on February 2nd. Enya performed the song on several TV shows:

• Late Late Show (Dublin, February 6)
• Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel (Salzburg, January 31)
• The Alan Titchmarsch Show (London, February 3)

At the moment, I am in the process of completely revamping the gallery and adding more pictures, so please be patient. I also wrote a special And Winter Came page and completed the lyrics and tracks.

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season with your family and friends. I had quite an Enya Christmas as I got an autographed AWC album (she signed 200 copies for a Taiwanese charity project) and a signed TAWR single with a AWC promo book (Loxian Games prizes). Made me veeery happy :) During December, Enya promoted AWC in Japan and USA, here are links to the interviews and performances.

Great Britain:

• ITV This Morning – Oiche Chiuin with a children’s choir

Japan:

• NTV performance – Trains and Winter Rains
• NTV Christmas Show – Orinoco Flow and Trains and Winter Rains

• 
  CNN interview
• 
  ABC Good Morning America

Maybe you remember that the Berlin Staatsballet performed to the music from And Winter Came at the German launch party. Now, you can watch the performance online.

Talking about the launch parties, Czech music magazine Reflex published an article about the London launch. I didn’t translate but you might like to see the photos.

I’m sure you’ll all love this laid back interview with Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2. Listen to it online (fast-forward to 1:38). And don’t forget to watch Enya’s performance of Trains and Winter Rains on ‘Children in Need’ fundraiser in Belfast.

There’s more goodness to come, according to Enya’s official site, she’s just about to begin her promotional tour of Japan and also appear on the following shows:

• Elaine Paige interview – Sunday 23rd Nov (between 1 – 2:30pm)

  will be available online for one week

• Magic FM ‘Indulgence’ interview – Sunday 23rd Nov (7 – 8pm)

  will be available online for one week

• Ken Bruce – ‘tracks of my years’ – interview across every day – week commencing 8th December (between 9:30am – 12pm)

  will be available online for one week

Concerning the lack of new photos and screenshots: I am terribly lazy AND the site’s traffic is high because of the new album. Therefore, if I uploaded any more pictures the bandwidth limit would get exceeded and OOTB would be offline once again. But don’t worry, sweethearts! There’s still Simone’s extensive picture archive. She’s doing a wonderful job, don’t you think?

We all know that the new album is great but if you wanna read some reviews anyway, here you go: The Badger Herald & BlogCritics Magazine. Herald Sun published an article/interview Queen of the Castle. There’re some cute parts, definitely recommended reading :)

Photos from the album launch in Berlin: ShowBiz, AEDT …so cute, aren’t they?

Enya presented And Winter Came today in Hotel Palace de Madrid. Watch a short video and read an article (it’s in Spanish, but you can easily translate with Google or Babelfish and find out why there’s a horse on the album cover).
