The Bermudian style vessel "The Spirit of Bermuda", which was built as a training ship for the Bermudian youth will arrive at its destination Hamilton, Bermuda on September 30th, 2006. The ship's permanent home will be in Dockyard. Bermudians and residents are invited to inspect the ship during an open house at Dockyard on October 1 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

There will be a big celebration in the afternoon of the arrival and the highlight will be the performance by two of Bermuda's premiere entertainers, Heather Nova and Shine Hayward.

The launch of the Spirit Of Bermuda was delayed. Originally it was set at July 15, 2006, at 1:47pm EST (high tide), but now it will take place probably August 12th (not confirmed yet). The event will take place in Bangor, Maine, USA. Heather Nova was planned to be part of the ceremony. It is still unclear, how Heather Nova contributes to that event, and now it has gotten unclear if she has time on the new date set. We wait for more information.

Heather Nova's new CD "Together As One", released December 1st on Bermuda, consists of two new songs.

The first song Together As One; the 'Spirit of Bermuda' song, written and performed exclusively for the "Bermuda Sloop Foundation", is Heather Nova's moving tribute to the "Spirit of Bermuda", a ship which is a major part of the foundation's mission "bringing home Bermudian character, teamwork and learning". Find out more about the Bermuda Sloop Foundation here.

The second song is Sail On, a poem by Heather's father, sung by Heather.

Here is the content of the CD:

1. Together As One; The "Spirit Of Bermuda" Song (3.34)
2. Sail On (3.30)
3. I Wanna Be Your Light (live performance London 2003) (4.38)
4. Together As One (live performance DVD) recorded aboard Amistad, 14th May 2005 (3.25)

More information will follow soon.

Thanks to Alan and Malcolm for their cooperation!

Heather Nova's Bermuda Sloop CD Together As One EP was released and can locally be bought already on Bermuda. We will give information when we hopefully find out how to order it from other parts of the world. Stay tuned.

The CD has three songs.

1. "Together As One", a special song for the Bermuda Sloop Foundation to help them raise funds. This song was earlier titled "Bermuda Sloop Song".

2. "Sail On", a poem written by Ms Nova’s father, John Frith, that Heather Nova put to music.

3. "I Wanna Be Your Light" live from London, previously released on the Union Chapel DVD.

Kwame Harris of Paget Primary and Laurin Davis of Elliot Primary, both of whom are ten years old, were approached to sing part of the chorus. Marcus Smith, who is nine and attends Prospect Primary, also sang in the chorus. Mr. David Roache entered and won the Island wide competition for a local male to sing the harmony on "Together as One".

Some DVD footage with a live performance of Heather Nova (recorded aboard "Amistad" in May 2005) was added.

The CD costs $10 and all proceeds will go the Bermuda Sloop Foundation and ultimately the youth of Bermuda.

We'll keep you updated.
