We’re over the moon to announce that we have been awarded multi-year funding from @creativescots !!!
This will help us to plan for the future in ways we have never managed to before, to build on recent successes like our Adopt a Piano scheme and to help us one day find a permanent home for the Pianodrome Amphitheatre in Edinburgh.
Huge credit must go to Creative Scotland for recognising the potential of small cultural organisations to make huge positive impacts.
Creative Scotland have done great work advocating on behalf of artists and culture and we’re chuffed to bits to have this core funding secured for the next three years.
Over the last 7 years we have developed from project to project; articulating new ideas, saving over 600 pianos from landfill, working with hundreds of artists and welcoming tens of thousands of participants into to our community-focused interactive spaces.
Thank you to the local and international communities who have supported and believed in the Pianodrome thus far.
We’ll continue to strive towards our conviction that no piano is junk, and no person is unmusical!
Pianodrome, Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24-28th August 5pm.
Celtic sensation Jasmine Power from West Wales takes you on an ethereal musical journey at the piano with her own magnificent cinematic pop songs.
Since collaborating with legendary Amanda Palmer in New York, Jasmine’s been composing in Nashville with Broadway and Disney stars and hit writers like Melissa Manchester, Luke Dick, Nina Ossoff and Kyle Lehning.
Power is known for her emotive and uplifting melodies and lyrics drawn from life experiences. ‘Something beautifully British about her music, great songwriting, great voice and a unique sound’ (Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2). ‘Jasmine’s songs are very good and she sings them wonderfully’ (Sir Paul McCartney).
Jasmine Power is a Welsh singer, pianist and songwriter, and one of today’s most unique and engaging artists to emerge from the UK music scene.
Daughter of a Welsh sailor and an English musician, she grew up in rural West Wales, where she has been composing music and songs continuously since the age of 10.
Since then, life has taken her to train at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff followed by Trinity and Laban Conservatory of Music and Dance, London. After graduating, Power walked a Spanish pilgrimage alone.
She later went travelling for some musical South American adventures to complete her album, and late 2019 moved to Nashville Tennessee, where she has worked as a songwriter for other artists, TV and film during the pandemic. She takes the wild spirit of West Wales with her wherever she goes and still recalls those days of dreaming on her windowsill at home.
After several years of writing songs for herself and others in Nashville, New York and LA and collaborating with artists and songwriters including Melissa Manchester (Grammy-Award Winning Singer/Songwriter), Luke Dick (Kasey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Dirks Bentley), Robin Eaton, Chris Roberts (H.E.R), Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls) and Laura Osnes (Broadway star), Power has returned with an even greater voice and a uniquely striking set of songs, ready to share her music with the world.
‘Her songs are very good and she sings them wonderfully’ – Sir Paul McCartney
‘Something beautifully British about her music, great song writing, great voice and a unique sound.’ – Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio2)
‘Absolutely love it, my favorite track from the BBC Radio Wales A-list playlist, Jasmine Power – The Verge of the Unknown.’ (Jason Mohammad – BBC RadioWales)
‘Power’s voice has that kind of emotional urgency that sells records’ – (James Sanger – Grammy Award –Winning Songwriter/Producer – Dido, Madonna, Keane, Phil Collins)
‘One to watch.’ ‘Such a great voice and band!’ – Giles Peterson (BBC Radio 6)
‘The song I co-wrote with Jasmine is one of my best yet. Power is an extraordinary storyteller; her unique voice stands alone and reminisces the beauty of a cello’ – Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls)
Power’s singles ‘Stars & Stripes’ & ‘Leap’ have been recently aired and accompanied by interviews on BBC Radio London, BBC Radio Bristol, BBC Radio Wales and Lightning 100 (Nashville), to be followed in quick succession by the rest of her new album.
Power will be performing a 5-night solo show run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24-28th August (Pianodrome.)
