I'm now having a bit of craic doing a bit of co-presenting on No celtic Boundaries show, which goes out on both Highlander FM and CelticRadio.net
go listen to them for some of the best stuff around!BAD PEOPLE DRINKING IN A WILD BAR! WHEN GOOD MYSPACERS GO BAD! IN TECHNICOLOR!! THIS IS DAVEY'S ' DIRECTORS CUT OF 'SAVE THE ROTERDAM' JULY 6TH 2007.....* BIG HUGE GRIN WHILE HOLDING HEAD AND POPPING PARACETAMOLS*
THANK YOU AND CYBER HUGS TO ALL THE EEJITS IN THE BAR AND BEYOND IT!' WE FEW, WE HAPPY FEW, WE BAND OF BROTHERS...'( OH GAWD - SHE'S QUOTING SHAKESPEARE! SHE'S DRUNK lol)music, art, horses, dogs, all animals really, tring to be environmentally friendly and do right by this planet of ours, gaming, the chemistry behind skincare never ceases to fire me with passions untold - I learn all the time, even now! messing around with my kids, anything to do with Egypt, Celtic culture, Greek culture, anything very ancient and very beautiful, really.I'm very much into learning as much about the history of wicca as I can, when I've time. The swan is a big important thing for me, as its part of my totem beasties. You know the way they look serene? Dont believe a word of it! Their wee feet are thrashing away underneath keeping it all together!I also love getting out on boats and want to live near the sea one day, in a house that has a big, big garden.
I would hope it was a bit of a ruin, really - something like the house I imagine in The Ghost and Mrs Muir( the rex harrison one, of course!)...it'll be a bit of a shambles( like me) and have creaky floorboards and make any DIY fan throw their hands up in horror and say 'I'm not even going to try and fix that!'.. it'll have strange and eccentric plumbing( like my own beloved house here) and make the most haunted house noises at night, especially when the wind blows strong off the sea...but the plants will all taste of the sea, the wild marram grass will crawl up into my not very well laid-out garden, to live beside the rosemary and lavender... I'll find that house, one of these days, because I know its out there, just wait and see!warned you I'm a big sloppy romantic!Also, banjo as well as guitar.. something about it's call to arms, that clarion of fire when you belt out the bluegrass.. yeehaw! I reckons Gabriel Toad here( wonder did he play for the Old Toad Medicine Show? I know.. bad pun), from Bagpuss, is where it all began- my arch corrupter!

As many of the right sorts of people - nice, sensible, not pervy, straight talking, honest,kind and funny. Creeps and double talkers who want to play games, please dont come here. I only want to have ' good medicine' folks around, there's way too many really bad sorts in the world. I just dont want them round me.WHAT HAVE WE ALL BEEN RAVING ABOUT FROM SUNDAY NIGT, EH? ROBIN JAMES HURT AND HIS GUITAR PLAYING( NOT TO MENTION ' THAT' MARTIN' GUITAR!) - HERE'S ONE OF THE SONGS FROM THE SET PLAYED, COME AWAY HOME', A REWORK OF AN OLD SCOTTISH SONG. AND ITS GORGEOUS. ENJOY!
I PREFER PROMOTING LOCAL STUFF FROM FOLKS I KNOW. THEY'RE SUCH A DAMN TALENTED LOT ROUND THESES PARTS.I MEAN, JUST CHECK OUT THE LUDWIG PAGE( NEW EP AVAILABLE!!! * UNASHAMED PLUG!*)
PHILIP MCAREE IS BACK ON MYSPACE AS MACFINN AND IS AS TALENTED AS EVER. THEY'RE A CLEVER OLD LOT, UP IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.Okay, this is rocking my world at the moment! Love Michelle Branch's voiceanyway, but put it with Carlos Santana and I'm sorry- this is Nancy's version of catnip! Summer on a stick! with a dollop of sorbet- doesnt get cooler than this!
Carlos Santana feat. Michelle Branch - The Game Of Love(Zone)
Add to My Profile | More VideosAs long as it has passion - my favourite song is Van morrison's Into the Mystic.
I love Van Morrison, Prince, Aerosmith,Thin Lizzy, seriously good blues like Muddy Waters,Leonard Cohen, Early Supremes and a lot of Motown, the whole Phil Specter Wall of Sound era of the trashy made good girl bands, early Santana, although liked the collaboration with the wee guy who I cant recall recently!, Joy Division and early New Order, Tenpole Tudor, Bob Marley, The Flying Column, Hank Williams, Matvin Rainwater, Roy orbinson, Jimmy B Newman , way too much zydeco and cajun- bad habits caught in the Big Easy, ma chere, De Danaan when they had Enya singing in Elvish with them, Sarah McLachlan, Sophie B Hawkins, Jewel, early Donna Summers, Earl Okin, I adore taylor Hicks - best thing in ages! aww.. the list is as disparate as it is long... if its good and full of fire and longing and weeping hearts, I'll love it! If its trashy I love it too...
I probably do need to add my odd predilection( for wetsern tatstes anyway|)of Arabic music - give me a grinding bit of raq shar' qui, or a kif, or any good Middle Eastern pop tune and I'm happy! Check out names such as Mohammed Mounir, the unfairly beautiful and talented Yara and impish little Nancy Ajram. One of the best tings to do is sprawl on a bed in the sonesta st george in Luxor( unashamed plug for a great hotel) and lie with the windows open and Melody Hits blasting out.( Melody Hits being an Arabic version of MTV). Hit me with good flammenco, or anything latin as well.. the tango is my groove, baby- well, you'd expect it, wouldnt you? all that restrained passion and intensity going on? I love barry White, and all that growling goin' on... forgot until the other day just how delicious al Jarreau's voice was, and am becoming increasingly addicted to Steve Earle. Oh yeah.... Tenacious d as well.. ;)I think we were among the first in Belfast, peddling the first cd around friends, neighbors, guitar teachers...anyone who'd give us a shock factor of being embarrassed by touching melodies such as F*** her Gently.
Film noirs, comedy( naughty comedy is best, like Borat or Ali G, which cracks me up), disaster movies, and I hate to admit it, chick flicks like Love Actually and Notting Hill, because I am a soppy great romantic. Needless to say, things like Casablanca and Mr Skeffington rock my world as well.... I've been madly in love with Claude Raines from aons. My reckoning- I wouldnt ever stand a chance with a top totty like Humnphrey Bogart in Casablance, but Claudes wicked, dapper, clever little gendarme? ah, now there was someone who'd appreciate the plain but clever gal!can i add, Oh Brother where art thou( the frog bit cracks me up), Serenity, 300, Spiderman 3.. it was great!Ilike things that have that wonderful golden glow, like Gone With The Wind.. all those great old films they only show on TCM. Heaven is a rainy day, a bottle of shiraz and some great stuff on Classic movies channels!24 Hours In Sin City

yeah, yeah, this is the *real* Nancy.. as in Sin City! But I can do the dance routine, even if I dont have the chaps. Just fire me a lasso and I'll show you at a moments provocation LOL!
Buffy - best parable for adult life I have ever seen - cleverest scripts by series 6 and 7. Spike wasn't bad looking and all...I wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating crisps there, to be honest. Well, maybe I would, as obviously you dont know the *real* person, who could be a total goon, but the character is very appealing, and all that punky peroxide, and the cheekbones.. * sighs and swoons!* okay, admittedly, the Fonz of the 21st century, but then again, I fell utterly in love with Satan in Miltons' Paradise Lost when doing that for A level! Such a literary slut ,I am! Twin peaks, the new Dr Who series- David Tennant is an originalSix feet Under, quite liked series 5 Angel; loved the Walking with dinosaurs programme and the other one, Prehistoric Park. Life on Mars becuase it way outstripped in cleverness anything else.. roll on 'Ashes to ashes'... American idol is a guilty pleasure - so much more interesting than the dire X factor, dont you think? I'm not a great simon Cowell fan, and would probably lynch him for disservices to music if I could. Now, this is embarrassing! This was my first adored TV programme- the over 40's will remember it well, no doubt, so , enjoy the dulcet tones of the opening sequence of - ta dah! Marine Boy!! Now, that takes you nack, doesnt it! I learnt to swim pronto because my fly mother said if I did? I'd meet up with marine Boy and his dolphin.. oh how innocent our childhoods are! Still, it started a love affair with the oceam which I've never regretted!
Tolkien ( especially The Silmarillion) Charlaine Harris for fun Anne Rice Alice Walker Neil Gailman - he rocks! de Lorca, McNiece, Elliorr- loads of poets. I've just discovered Clive Barker - am gobbling up his stuff at the moment! a kids book , from Victorian times called The velveteen rabbit- made me sob as a kid, but oh how true it is...no easy way to become 3 dimensional- all too easy to be a stereotype. Black beauty- the original political opinion changer , which led to better treatment of animals- whata way to change the world! with compassion instead of spin! I still love the narnia books, which is a bit sad to admit.Although That Hideous streghth is a phenomenal book and I wish they'd make it into a film. Or maybe not when you consider Disney doing things to books you love. Lots of dull old books on theology and stuff, but lets not get into those because they are sort of private guilty pleasures! I'm the person who sits and has a row with theologians on tv! LOL CS Lewis adult books... if its good, I'll read it. Oh! and Andrew Marvell( to roll the universe into a ball... oooh, yes please!) and a few other obscure metaphysical poets. Ach, get me drunk and I sit quoting shakespeare.. everybody knows that! LOL Special adortaion for Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado and Midsummers Nights Dream.. in school, I recall I played Puck.I was a good Puck.Possibly still am ;)otherwise, I'm as happy with a copy of Q or Vogue. And the nice pictures amuse me for hours and hours !I remember St Expeditie from New orleans - he's not quite saint or sinner- therefore, he probably belngs here on me page! Best fuun thing I read was that he's now offiicially the patron saint of geeks -One common trait that computer Power Users and, for lack of a better word "geeks" have in common is a need for speed. That craving for instant gratification. Do you salivate at the thought of a 3 + GHz PC with all the bells and whistles and a cable internet connection? Then you my friend should get to know Saint Expedite. He is known for quick action. When you need help and you need it now, He is the saint you want in your corner. so here he is, for your daily devotions. amen!( he squashes a crow because in latin it says cras, cras!' which means ' tomorrow! tomorrow!' Expie( as his mates call 'im) does things NOW!
I still believe in heroes. you have to. Its like believing in God - maybe I'm wrong if I do, but i prefer to have a really strong code to live by, and believe that there are better things around us to help us when we're down or weak, than not to believe in anything at all. I believe in the basic goodness of people, so my heroes aren't big flashy politicians or that - they're people I know from everyday life, because you know what they have to over come to be the individuals you know and love so much. They're my heroes mostly.Friends and family, those who have proved to be true and loyal.but apart from the sincere stuff.. here's the rest!
Joan of arc- there was a girl who could handle a horse and keep the faith.
Dolly parton, she's one of the coolest people on earth
Elsa Schiaparelli, for all the obvious reasons!
Lenin!
Churchill, not for his anti irish thing, but he knew how to rise to an utterly impossible challenge and see it through.
Claude Raines, Errol Flynn, Frank Miller, Joss Whedon,Rita hayworth, Louis McNeice, CS Llewis, Tolkien, TS Ellliott, John Garfield( I do like my film noires!).. I'd be a gibbering idiot if I ever met any of them, but considering at least 50% are dead.... whew!!* draws hand over brow*!
Prince - Acoustic
