We Recommend: Accomplished Musician Bruno Major Brings Tour to Dublin and Belfast
If you are a fan of soulful, high-quality music, we have some exciting news to share with you. Bruno Major – a classically trained guitarist who is beginning to gain much attention and recognition in the music world – will be supporting Sam Smith during his two concerts in the 3 Arena, Dublin, on March 30th and 31st. He is also undertaking his own headline tour in April and May. This tour will include gigs in Belfast and Dublin. Read on to learn more!
Bruno Major is based in Camden, London. He originally trained as a classical guitarist and released a live EP showcasing his skills (which bears the simple name Live EP) in 2014. 2016 was the year that Bruno began to receive widespread recognition, as he set out to release a new song every month for a full year. This ambitious project extended into 2017, and gained a great deal of praise. Bruno accompanied this steady stream of digital singles with regular live appearances across London. All of the songs he created as a result of that process are available together as the collection A Song for Every Moon.
Bruno’s captivating, soulful sound has been compared to the work of Jamie Woon and Rufus Wainwright. If you would like to experience Bruno’s sound for yourself, make sure you listen to A Song For Every Moon on Bruno’s SoundCloud page here, or watch the video for Cold Blood here. His website is brunomajor.com.

After walking the Camino in 2010 and 2011, John and Maria Jesus are offering to take a group on the last part of this historical pilgrimage. Walking on pilgrimage is a great way to nourish the soul and bring healing and resolution to one’s inner nature.
Whether it’s for yourself or others, our prayers and intentions are processed and offered up on this walk in the way thousands of Peregrinos have been doing for centuries.
This is an ideal opportunity to come on a walking retreat with heart-minded travelers, and to have the walk supported by John and Maria Jesus.

The power of soothing sound
The door knocks and in comes a lady with a 3 year old child who seems angry. She explains to me that her child is aggressive and has bitten another child, and she feels desperate about this constant issue. Indeed, while she is explaining things, the child starts screaming and shouting in a violent way.
I gently lift him off the ground and lay him on my table. I choose a heart bowl to play – within seconds he calms down and within minutes he falls asleep. The mother is surprised, and the power of sound always amazes me.
Everyone knows that our body is made mostly of water, thus the vibration of sound travels to every part like a rippling wave, soothing the nervous system and making each cell vibrate to release any blockages and be energised. Welcome to Connecting Within!
We set up our Sound Healing Academy around 3 years ago after having worked with sound since the year 2000. And what a journey it has been.
We started working discretely on a 1-to-1 basis, growing steadily by word of mouth, but the growing demand meant sharing the knowledge and helping it to spread.
At our Sound Healing Academy, we combine our knowledge of Tibetan Singing Bowls with the practice of Advanced Emotional, Physical and Spiritual work. As such, our system is unique, and has been successful in helping many people facing a wide range of challenges from soul searching, to Depression, and other health issues such as Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis amongst others.
