Band Members: I'm the proud owner of a Schertler Unico. It's the best acoustic amp you can find, for more info go to: http://www.schertler.com/
Influences: In my younger days I used to listen to... W.A.Mozart (no kidding, still like him), John Denver, Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Joe Strummer (The Clash), The Chieftains, Dubliners,….Guess I forgot a few...
There are lot of folkbands I got to know the last few years: Comas, Grada, The Battlefieldband, The Furey's and Davey Arthur, Lunasa, Flook, Milladoiro, Carlos Nunez, Suzanna Seivane,.... There are so many musicians I met in my life who made it special for me and must have had influence one way or the other.
And special thanks to Daithi Rua, he made me learn about some great singer-songwriters.
I'll just name a few:
of course Daithi Rua himself (he inspired me to do what I do now, a great friend),
Albert Niland (just for who he is and what he does, he's amazing),
Luka Bloom (I know his music only for about a year now, shame on me, but he convinced me to perform on my own, I'd love to meet him one day.)
Sounds Like: Reactions from the crowd:
Sounds like: "a mix of Bob Dylan and The Waterboys...", "Tom Waits", (I never got that drunk on a gig); "a Richard thompson-vibe"; "a mix of Bruce Springsteen and Eric Clapton"...Please check out the newest Belgian Celtic Folkband: "Moragh", too, at:
