About Me

Little Disappointments and this rough mix of Civil Service recorded by Lawrence at the Rough Cut Lounge in Cork. Much doffing of hats... However, he’s not had a lot to do with Men in Skirts. YET! When he’s done with it, I expect it will be a jaw-droppingly serious sociological comment. Men in Skirts is a very personal and intimate forage through my wonky brain inspired by Fire on McGinnis and Needfire. Not their music, though that’s marvellous enough.I edited my profile by annoying ROGUE and he did it with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Vagrant

I heard once when I still lived in South Africa, that musicians were still classed as vagrants. This would not have been surprising. But anyway, after much anguishing (and a fair bit of languishing), ...
