that are created by such an event and also the great, positive feedback that comes in the follwing days. It never occurred to me that other people might enjoy the experience in their own homes. It wasn't until some of our House Concert hosts in the USA asked if they could host an Astrology day that we even considered it. So we tested the waters to see if the idea had energy and low and behold the bookings sold out very quickly. It seems like something people would like to do so if there's energy in it I'm going to give it a shot".

I asked Francis how he could offer this service given the travel times and distances and he told me " Obviously if I travelled to California or the UK I couldn't just go for one day, it would have to coincide with a few other things but I am very confident that we can find a way to visit everyone at some point. It's a very exciting adventure. Who knows what might happen or who we may meet along the way".

In return for hosting the event Francis would offer free Astrology readings for the hosts and their family. He continues " We will probably start out offering the service to our House Concert hosts because we know them and we love them and I feel very relaxed going to their homes. Kate is preparing an email to send out to our House Concert community across the world and we will see what sort of response we get".

Francis has been a practising Astrologer for over twenty years and is considered an expert in the field. He is currenty the resident Astrologer at the Ash center for Comprehensive medicine in New York City and has an online Astrology practice as well a busy schedule of 'in person' readings.

All persons interested in hosting their own Astrology day with Francis should contact Kate Stauffer at kate@francisdunnery.com

FEB 7th 2012: THE SUMMER BELONGS TO YOU
Dominic Beaumont
The word on the street is that Danish artist Lars Mosin is ready to release his debut cd. I spoke to Francis this morning and he told me that the CD is almost finished. Francis explains " yeah the CD is well on the way. I have a few more things to clean up and then it should be ready for production. It's a huge success".

I asked Francis what attracts him to certain artists and he said " Sometimes when I am travelling people give me cds and I always try to listen to at least two of the songs. Many of the CDs are excellent but not

everyone is appropriate for Aquarian Nation. But sometimes people come along who are perfect for Aquarian Nation and Lars was one of those people. He has an incredibly unique voice, you could never mistake him for anyone else and his songs are full of beautiful melodies. It wasn't such a difficult project because his voice is so unique. I knew right away that we could make a fantastic CD".

I asked Francis what he looks for when choosing an Artist and he explained " I am looking sincerity and originality. My job as a producer is to get rid of everything that the artist is 'not' and hopefully what we are left with is just them, their own unique essence. We don't want people pretending they are someone else, that may be the best way to have hit records but at Aquarian Nation we are true to our mission statement, we are looking to foster creativity and sincerity. Its just a different approach than what most artists are prepared to deal with, it's much easier to pretend you are someone else. Lars Mosin is a one off, very unique, very sincere and very palatable ".

I contacted Lars Mosin in Denmark this week and asked him what he thought about his new record, Lars explains " A life long dream of mine is about to be harvested. The past few years I've been working on it with Francis and Carsten Falkenlind and now that it's near the finishing line, I can honestly say I'm over the moon. Working with a Producer such as Francis has been an uplifting experience, just can't thank him enough. The songs are a result of me digging into the past and the present and by doing that the future are looking bright, I can't wait to share it with the world".

JAN 27th 2012: MARCH MADNESS IN EUROPE
Dominic Beaumont
Francis Dunnery and Dorie Jackson head across Europe for some House Concert madness during March. The pair will start out in Blackpool, England and visit Glasgow, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Holland. They will be performing a variety of House Concerts and will be singing in their usual 'duet' style. The pair will once again be performing their unique brand of 'ESP Vocals' and will be showcasing their unique talent across Europe.

I spoke with Dorie yesterday and she was in a jovial mood and told me " Yes, I'm extremely excited, I always love these trips around with Francis. Sitting in a car with him for three weeks is like free therapy. He is constantly talking about my Astrological chart, I love it! When the tour finishes and I step back into my old life I feel like a new person. The best part of these Euro tours is that I get to see so many old friends from the CKDCF weekends. Please tell everyone in Europe that I said 'Hi' and that I cannot wait to see them all again".

Francis was in the USA finishing up some recording work but he replied to my e-mail and said this " It's that time again. I love touring Europe. I love driving through Germany at 265 MPH with a German sandwich in one hand and then getting $8000 worth of speeding tickets from Switzerland because I didn't realize it was another country".

I asked Francis how things had changed since his new daughter Elsie was born and he said " Obviously the main difference is that I don't travel with Erica anymore. Erica and I were like Bonnie and Clyde, we travelled everywhere together for years. You must remember that Erica is a Gemini so I think she was getting bored with all the travelling so she doesn't miss it at all but when I'm out driving through the mid west by myself I feel like a big fat loser. The truth is that when I am away from home I cannot think about my family in a melancholy way otherwise I would be depressed the whole time. I like to stay happy and have fun. We are visiting Cumbria on this tour so I'm really looking forward to hanging out with my eldest daughter Franciene. I see everyone on Skype every night but its not really the same. You have to keep your energy up otherwise the Autobahn starts to take an effect and you start to think you are Michael Jackson. Europe better look out, Me and 'the Jackson' are on fire"

Francis will fly in from the USA at the end of February and the tour will kick off in Blackpool on March 1st. The tour will end around the 20th of March and Francis will return to the USA to continue his work there. For an updated schedule please see the concert page.

Dr Ash's philosophy on health is exactly in line with Dunnery's personal beliefs about health and happiness. Dunnery explains " Dr Ash is a breath of fresh air in the medical world, he's a qualified doctor just like the rest of them but he has spent the past twenty years developing his own alternative treatments that are based on common sense and natural prevention rather than the usual 'medication' based treatments that can be extremely damaging. Dr. Ash is not against western medicine but believes that many people are diagnosed inaccurately and given medication that can usually be treated in a more natural and less damaging way. Whatever it is he is doing he is getting great results and at the end of the day that is the benchmark. It is very exciting for me to be working alongside Dr. Ash because he's a bit a maverick and he's not afraid to challenge the norm".

Dr. Ash was introduced to Francis by Maureen Dodd who recommended him for the center. After having an in depth conversation with Francis, Dr. Ash realized that both shared similar views in regard to health and life. Dr. Ash explains " "Francis's work is a progressive approach to traditional therapy. Based on his life experiences he thinks outside the box and has a knack for creating meaningful conversation for revolutionary changes in peoples lives."

While retaining a common sense view to traditional medicine, the Ash center also welcomes many non traditional forms of medicine ranging from Acupuncture, Reiki, Energy Healing and Astrology. Dr. Ash's publications include What Your Doctor Has Not Told You About IBS and DHEA:Unlocking the Secrets to the Fountain of Youth.

Dr. Ash also has a radio show in new York City and on the web. You can listen to Dr. Ash during the Live Radio Show, on WOR 710AM Sundays 5-7 pm or through ashcenter.com--anywhere in the world, live and archived shows.

Francis is also working alongside other alternate medicine specialists and is excited about the potential of such teamwork. He explains "We have put together a close knit team of people who I will introduce to everyone on the website over the next few weeks. We have Maureen Dodd and Rachel Paletsky, two very talented individuals who are quite brilliant in their particular field of healing".
