About Me

Upcoming Shows 2 Nov 2007 21:00 The Cherrytree Dublin 3 Nov 2007 19:30 Kennedys DublinI'm a lackies apprentice but I wanna be a Rock'n Roll star. I know this is my destiny as I'm particularly partial to the burgers. Elvis the king of Rock n' Roll was also a burger lover. Furthermore, I'd like to add that I'm also very fond of milk. I like cats and dogs.I sing and play Irish Bouzouki, guitar and piano in a band called 'THE EASE'. I'm one of the founding members of 'BARDOI', an experimental traditional music/dance collective featuring the exotic Czech/Spanish singer KATJA GARCIA. I play bass and bouzouki with ex-Mellow candle member AlISON O'DONNELL and her groovy friend ISABEL Ni CHUIREANN-I also MC FUTURE SHORTS, a short film night at 4 Dame Lane on the last Wednesday of every month so I do. swishy swoosh.
