When myself and the great wall of China were visible from space, when I was 8 months pregnant and about to drop I lay on the couch and got up occasionally to eat, puffing and heaving myself about the place.\u00a0 At the time I was working as a DJ and so my unborn babe was getting music beamed into his ears from the moment his lugs were formed. In addition I\u00a0 played music non stop in the\u00a0 car, the house and played the piano.\u00a0 Seldom quiet it drives the long suffering husband mad. My particular passion at that time, and in enduring passion if the truth be told was reggae, John Martyn and Lyle Lovett. Without any brain washing after he was born my boy now loves reggae\u00a0 and music of all kinds – yes he has a love of the loud non music music that all teenagers love but he also loves The Eels, The Killers, Led Zep and other classy rock which means one of two things, he has impeccable taste all of his own or could it be that the influence of music on the unborn child is as yet undiscovered. Well if you are a bump\u00a0 carrier and would like to find out then tonight in Edinburgh is your chance.\u00a0 (there’s a wee vid of Bob the gorgeous Marley doing No Woman No Cry at the bottom of this post – or as I like to call it No Epidural Big Wailer.)<\/p>\n

Here are the details…..
\nSCOTTISH BAND\u2019S PREGNANT LEAD SINGER CONCEIVES WORLD\u2019S FIRST CONCERT
\nFOR ROCKER MUMS TO BE AND THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN
\nWhen female lead singers in bands become pregnant they usually cut back on gig
\ncommitments or decide to step out of the limelight for a while. But not Gulzhan Ibraveya
\nfrom Scottish band Universal You who has decided to embrace being a rocker mum
\nafter hearing about of the benefits of exposing babies in the womb to music by holding a
\nunique one off concert for her unborn child and Edinburgh\u2019s expectant mothers later this<\/p>\n

year. Kazakhstan-born Gulzhan, who goes by the stage name Gi and is married to
\nguitarist and band mate Paul Finnie has booked the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh on 2nd
\nNovember. 2010 for a special free, early evening gig, for unborn babies and mothers to
\nbe, when she will be 8 months pregnant. \u201cPaul and I first had the idea for the gig after
\nfinding that our child kicked a lot during rehearsals and midwives now tell mothers that
\nmusic can really stimulate babies when they are developing,\u201d says Gi. \u201cWe\u2019re really
\nlooking forward to the gig which people have been calling \u2018Wombstock\u2019 and a room full of
\npregnant women rocking out should be an amazing sight.\u201d The band are inviting
\npregnant women from all over Scotland and beyond to attend the truly unique early
\nevening performance where they will be playing their new single Iskala and hope that the
\nconcert will show the world that pregnant women can rock as hard as anyone at a night
\nthat promises to be the mother of all gigs.
