Reunion 1999
Kevin Firth (Kyra’s Uncle) who has been living in Ontario,
Canada for many years now, completed his debut album “Reunion”
in 1999. A very personal album for him, dedicated notably to his
two children and eccentric Mother Peggy Firth.
Two of Kyra’s Aunties from her Father’s
side were married Halloween 1998 and asked Kyra to sing at the reception
where Kevin saw for the first time in years the now very mature
and well established act of his Niece. Although his album was already
in the making he was looking for a female vocalist to round it off
and decided to fly Kyra out to Canada to do just that!
With only 3 days to learn the 10 tracks on the
album before hitting the “Power Plant Studios” (one
of the top 10 recoding studios in Canada) Kyra was determined to
give her best and helped complete this album which can only be described
as one of the most beautiful, delicate and distinctively original
albums you will ever hear.
“…I found myself working with some
of the most elite and well-known musicians in Canada. The owner/Producer
Greg Beacock was a mastermind and agreed with others that my music
and style would have a better chance of being recognized from those
origins. The fact that it was a family project made it very special
to me. I was a little worried that his style would be alien to me
but it all soon fell into place. Uncle Kevin has a very different
way of composing and writing songs – some would call it ‘Folk,’
I call it unique. It takes an open mind to appreciate truly talented
musicianship.” K.Bernice 1999
