Finally by Simon Thoumire

This is the finale of Simon Thoumire's Self Portrait 2009. It set of 2 jigs (Charles O'Connor, The Beesting (Simon Thoumire)) and a reel (Itchy Fingers by Neil Dickie) and is a reflection on how lucky I am. The tunes are music I have played at different stages of my life.

Self Portrait 2009 is a new unique piece of video work concentrating on Scottish music and new media. It takes the form of a YouTube playlist (www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1516B8EF804A4C92) and Simon is the first artist in the UK to release an album on YouTube (source: UK editor of YouTube). It is a free work open to all to view. As the album title says 'Self Portrait 2009' looks at Simon's life in 2009. Simon is a musician, event organiser and director of footstompin.com who works from home whilst looking after his 2 children with his partner Clare.
Whilst this album shows off Simon's first love of Scottish traditional music it also features his very eclective musical tastes. "I have tried to take my music and put it into situations that surround me. Everything you see and hear on this album is real life. From sitting on the living room couch practising to being inundated by the commercialism that is directed at our children from most TV channels. It also features frustration, sharing and happiness. There is a lot of humour on this album and I hope it makes you smile."
