Day 23: Stained Glass Ceiling | #HITSBC17



Hey guys!

It's day 23 and I have no idea how we got here so quickly!
It's projects like this one, which make you realise how quickly time goes by, when you're 100% passionate about something.
Whenever you have fun, time seems to go by a lot quicker and I think that's super fascinating.

However, I'm slightly sad to see this countdown coming to an end.
We still have a few days to celebrate and showcase fantastic music though.

So let's get down to business!


What is #HITSBC17?
HITSBC17 stands for house in the sand's Birthday Countdown 2017.
Throughout the entire month of February, we are going to celebrate house in the sand's fifth birthday.
(Because why celebrate on one day, if you can celebrate for an entire month, right?)
With the support from some of the finest artists and bands around, each day in February will be filled with an exclusive performance just for us.

Who is performing today?
Stained Glass Ceiling.
They are an acoustic duo from Manchester, UK.
With influences such as Simon and Garfunkel and Amy Winehouse, it's no surprise the ladies combine Acoustic, Soul and Folk.

The duo consists of Morgan Haper-Jones and Amelia Mansfield, both of the ladies playing guitar and singing.
Creating beautiful harmonies paired with relatable lyrics and charming melodies, Stained Glass Ceiling are currently working on their debut EP.

What needs to be said about this performance?
Meet your new favourite female duo!
There is absolutely no way you won't enjoy this fantastic and soulful performance of the band's original track. We are extremely excited for you to have a listen.

Ladies and Gents - check out Stained Glass Ceiling's performance of their original song "Shot Me Down".

Ahhh! That's it for day 23! I honestly can't believe it.
We're getting closer to our actual birthday and I can't wait for you to see what we've got planned for that.

I'm having such a great time hosting and sharing this countdown with everyone, it's so wonderful!

Everyone involved really got the message and knows what this countdown/online birthday party is about - it's about having a good time, having fun and showcasing something we all love - music.

So let's all continue having a great time, shall we!


What is #HITSBC16?
HITSBC16 stands for house in the sand's Birthday Countdown 2016.
Throughout the entire month of February, we will be celebrating this website's fourth birthday.
One artist/band a day is going to wish us a happy birthday and then perform a song exclusively for this sweet occasion.

Who is performing today?
Morgan Harper Jones.
She is one part of the female duo Stained Glass Ceiling, based in Manchester, UK.
Together with Amelia Mansfield she performs and writes acoustic/folk songs.

What is special about this video?
It's incredibly entertaining! Morgan put a lot of thought into this and made it so much fun to watch this performance.
It's pretty obvious that she enjoys performing and you will realise how fantastic her voice is.
