23.01.2022 Here comes your last chance to get in on my Music and Friendship Pozible campaign and pre-order a copy of my book - theres just a little over a day to go before it ends at 7pm Melbourne time on Thursday - thats TOMORROW NIGHT! Jump on it here: https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2

23.01.2022 Like everything else, the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. To mark the weekend it should have been held on, here is a collection of never-before-published photos from previous festivals.

23.01.2022 There are many reasons for moving across the world. Sometimes its highly planned and organised. And other times, it just kinda happens in its own way - like it did for Eileen OConnor, one of the people featured in my Music and Friendship project. Theres a little over two weeks left to support the project - its going well, but were not there yet. Have you pledged yet? https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2 #melbourneceilicamera #immigration Comhaltas Melbourne Comhaltas

21.01.2022 Project Puzzle Piece #2, featuring some more familiar faces... Whos going to appear on the next Puzzle Piece? What even is it that theyre appearing on, anyway? More will be unveiled on Friday! #melbourneceilicamera #projectpuzzlepieces #excitementplus

19.01.2022 Launch day is here! The crowdfunding campaign for my Music and Friendship book project has just gone live at Pozible - you can help me make this project a reality by visiting https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2 and making a pledge! There are some great stories here, and Id really appreciate your help so I can share them as far as I can. It is a very strange time to be running a crowdfunding project, in the middle of a global pandemic, and I feel a bit weird aski...ng people for money. I realise not everyone will have the means to make a financial contribution, and thats OK. You can still support the project by sharing this post, telling your friends, spreading the word. The more people who know about the project, the better the chances of bringing it to life! Comhaltas Melbourne Comhaltas #melbourneceilicamera #MusicAndFriendship See more

Thanks to everyone whos supported the project so far - but especially Marie-Therese, Judy, Peggy and Paddy, who have all pledged in the last few days. Meanwhile, work continues on designing the layout of the book, with thanks to the awesome skills of Erin Sanders. Heres the Melbourne Ceili Cat helping me to check out a sample...

18.01.2022 SO MANY CELLOS!!!

18.01.2022 John Dodds grew up in Belfast in the 1930s. It wasnt an easy place to live in, as he recounts in this audio clip. Youll be able to read Johns full story among 30 others in my Music and Friendship book when its published in November - a Pozible crowdfuding campaign for the project is on now. Click this link for details: https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2 #melbourneceilicamera #MusicandFriendship Comhaltas Melbourne

15.01.2022 Arthur Shirreff sure can tell a story... Youll be able to read what, exactly, he might have fallen off if you support the Pozible campaign (which is on now, did you know?!) for my Music and Friendship book. Hit this link: https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2 Thanks heaps to Samus Scotaidh, Johanna, Eamon and Eileen who have all pledged in the last few days. Less than $1000 to the goal!...

14.01.2022 "Adams reached his crowdfunding goal, I dont need to hit this link https://www.pozible.com/profile/adam-purcell-2 to contribute to his Pozible campaign - Ill just buy a copy of his book later!" If youre thinking this, sadly, youre wrong! Yes, the stretch target has been reached, but that only covers the cost of printing 100 copies of the book... and Ive already sold most of them. There wont be many spare copies at the end of the crowdfunding campaign. Youll probably m...iss out! "Oh no, what can I do?" Luckily for you, theres an easy way to avoid disappointment. All you have to do is jump onto Pozible now, and pre-order your very own copy. Isnt that great? But be quick - the campaign MUST END ON THURSDAY! "Phew! OK, Ill go make a pledge now!" #crowdfunding #stretchgoal #MelbourneCeiliCamera #MusicAndFriendship Comhaltas Melbourne Comhaltas

01.01.2022 So I know we reached the initial target yesterday, but theres still ONE WEEK TO GO on the Music and Friendship Pozible campaign! That came round quickly.... and theres now a STRETCH GOAL to aim for! What it means is that theres only one week left to get your hands on one of my limited edition fine-art prints. Only ten of each of these prints are available, and they are EXCLUSIVELY available through the campaign. There wont ever be another way to get one of these. Best... of all, buying one will help me reach the aforementioned stretch goal, which means I can print more copies of the book, which means more people can read the stories in it! I reckon thats a win-win-win, really.
