About Me

Starting our musical journey jamming at impromptu parties, we soon started playing at the local open mic nights back in 2004. Going under the incredibly original name of 'Tom & AJ', we progressed onto the next level by getting our own gigs, supporting up and coming local acts and obtaining residency in local music venues. The joining of Cork violin player Ann Lehane soon facilitated the need for a new name, and so, the momentous name change to 'well red' came about in January 2005.After AJ entered and went on to win a singer/songwriter competition held in Cork city, we headed down to Blue Monkey studios in Bandon for 3 days to record our first demo EP, which was the prize for winning the competition. Since then we have been gigging around the city and beyond, establishing ourselves in a city that is thriving with fantastic musical talent. With a new violin player (Lyn O' Reilly) we now concentrate on honing our live act while constantly maturing from a musical and songwriting point of view. If our music is anything.........Its honest!Hope you enjoy the tunes, and remember . .......watch this space!
