About Me

hey thereim from killarney originally and reside in killcullen in kildare these days . i have worked in the music end of things most of my life working as a backline tech and touring mostly ireland and europe, now it is time to do the thing that i have always wanted and here it is . with a lot of help from simon good and tony flaherty the uppers and downers ep came to life in jan/feb . simon good plays lead guitar and tony plays hammond organ. this ep was put together for a gig just done in whelans of wexford st in dublin which was my first live gig i 12 yrs with my own original music and far too long in the waiting , its the start of things hopefully and we will see where we go from here but the plan is to finish off the album in the very near future and get it out to the people .stay tuned !

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/22/2006
Influences: gotta admit im a country fan and early on i was listening to the likes of johnny cash merle haggard willie nelson . rock became the staple for me and thin lizzy were the thing for me as a teenager live and dangerous was never far from my reach, my brothers and sister were always bringing new music home .i like a very wide range of music and my basic requirment for music is its gotta mean something . the waterboys were a band that are high on the list as well. in the ninities there was only one band for me and that was pearl jam and i think eddie vedder is a genius to be quite honest.
Type of Label: None
