About Me

originally from maynooth in kildare, now settled in belfast, mark kirkpatrick is a songwriter / singer mainly doing solo stuff at the moment.

all material here was recorded using quartz and cubase software on a personal laptop. all guitars, bass, drum programming and vocals are by mark.

i hope you enjoy the songs as they are - that is hastily recorded in various bluerooms in the belfast area.

the main intention in getting these rough demos down is to show the kind of stuff i do in the hope of collaborating with other like-minded musicians down the line for gigs around belfast. i want to piece together a band and at least have a few sessions, at most sell millions of records...any interest would be welcome...you may contact me via email at [email protected] - likewise any comments regarding the music or anything welcome..

thats it for now, hopefully stuff shall happen that shall constitute 'news' worthy to be included in future postings here - hopefully...
