The Peace Within is a finalist in this years Tipperary International Song of Peace Competition.
Susan Hewitt was born in Belfast and began her musical education with piano lessons when she was six years old. As soon as she could play reasonably well, she discovered she preferred making up her own tunes to the repetitive practise required in order to progress through the examination grades. Nevertheless, she stuck with it, encouraged by her father who played fiddle and loved to sing.
“He was my first musical influence and somewhat determined that at least one of his two daughters would master a musical instrument,” Susan says.
She went on to study music at Queen’s University, Belfast and subsequently became a secondary school music teacher. She left this after a few years in order to set up her own piano teaching practice and during this time she was also the music critic for a local newspaper.
It is only relatively recently ,however ,that Susan began writing poetry so, when she was asked to write a song for the Irish Eurosong 2008 competition (the contest which selects the song which will represent Ireland in the annual Eurovision Song Contest), she decided to have a go and her entry “Sometimes” made it through to the final six, ultimately losing out to a turkey puppet in what was I reland’s most controversial selection process ever!
Her next song Home Again was rather more successful, fortunately, winning the Sean McCarthy Irish Ballad Competition in Finuge, Co. Kerry in August 2008. Link: https://www.tradebit.com
