About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

So, the bio bit......I'm a huge fan of almost all styles of music, as long as there's real talent involved I really couldn't give a shite what genre it comes from....be it the vocalist, the musician or even the programmer! Sorry, but death metal vocalists need not apply. I'm a Sound Engineer. I've studied in the Sound Training Centre in Temple Lane Studios in Dublin and in Pulse Recording in Pleasants Place, Dublin 8....a crackin' college. I'm on the look out for artistes/bands who want to do some recording. I'm half of the boy-band fighting duo of DeadGoodSounds, check us out at www.deadgoodsounds.com If you're interested, drop me a line. All the best, Dar
Some of my favourite YouTube vids, I replay these time and time again, so why not put them up on my own site where it's easy to find them!
The unmistakable Ray LaMontagne
Chris Thile and his band do an amazing cover of Radiohead's Morning Bell
Jimi Hendrix's cover of Johnny B. Goode
The big sound of Seasick Steve
I'm a huge Hendrix fan and one of my all time favourite songs of his is Little Wing, for me it's hard to top the original.....but here's 3 of the greatest instrumental covers of it I've come across. The last one, Monte Mongomery's, is just class. Enjoy.
The legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan
Carlos Vamos
Monte Montgomery
