About Me

Copyright - © 2007 ....... Hey there funky people, how's things? If yea don't know me, which yea probable don't.......my names Mark Hayes :) I'm a musician and tend to spend most of my time writing funky chord progressions, dirty riffs, taking the occasional solo and tinker'in away at the piano........ I'm from Limerick in the south west of Ireland, but am living in West London and studying the guitar and popular music Degree at Guitar-X / TVU, which is cool. Studied on The Guitar Institute's Diploma (now The Institute of Contempory Music Performance) which was a brilliant year! Learned alot and meet alot of cool people....... I'm into all types of music, but especially Funk, Deep Funk & Rare Groove, Acid Jazz type stuff, 60's & 70's Rock and Soul. I also maintain an Unofficial myspace page for ledgendary 90's acid jazz band 'Mother Earth'. Check it out below, and feel free to mail me........Peace Out........ Mark :)
