Simon Emmerson
Simon is a Grammy nominated producer, guitarist and visionary extraordinaire. He also happens to be an avid bird watcher and one very cool guy. Simon hails from Hackney, East London. As a kid, he went to the Forest School Camps from the age of six. They were the prototype Green awareness camps that started in the ‘20s and ‘30s as an alternative to the boy scouts. During that time, he was brought up in the English folk tradition with the Martin Carthy and Christy Moore songbooks. He claims he can even do English folk dances. Simon is also a DJ and was a member of Scritti Politti and Working Week. The idea of combining Celtic music and African music stemmed from Simon’s work producing tracks for Baaba Maal under the pseudonym “Simon Booth” while he was “running from the law.” When Simon was in Africa working with Baaba Maal and other musicians, an elder wise man that he met in the desert told him that the ancestors were returning for music and for instruments because the power of words had become corrupted and had become the power of politics and control. It was left to the power of music to get the message across. Simon brought together Jo Bruce, Ron Aslan, Ronan Browne, Davy Spillane, Ayub Ogada, Masamba Diop, Kauwding Cissokho, Myrdhin, James McNally and Martin Russell to create Volume 1: Sound Magic. What a message! The rest is history. Check out Simon’s biography on the Working Week website for more information about Simon’s impressive musical background.
