Dave/BME Music - Who?

About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I like to think I know a lot about music but in reality I know very little! One thing is for sure is that you have to possess a great sense of humour in this game!! I have been lucky to meet a number of talented and dedicated people in the business over the years who have helped me reach some of my goals but I'm always looking to try and reach more!A few years ago I founded BME Music (Broadcast Management & Events) which is an Event Management/Artist Management Company based in Dublin.We are responsible for The Choice Music Prize (Irish Album of the year), The National Student Music Awards (Ireland) projects and co-founded the music resource IrishUnsigned .I also work closely with Religion Music the Dublin Independent label that is about to launch the career of Lesley Roy (licensed to Jive Records US),Marz Roche, Lotus Lullaby,and Shelley.The company also provides A&R advisory services, acts as Irish A&R for Atlantic Records US , and has helped a number of Irish artists secure International recording contracts.

My Interests

Music, though I can't play a single note! Athletics, even though I can barely run anymore!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that wants to say Hi or any new bands or artists that can hold a tune.

Music:

Editors, Kerbdog, The Smiths, Madina Lake, The Verve, 30 Sconds to Mars, Foals, Kate Nash, Depeche Mode,Interpol, Enter Shakiri, Prefab Sprout,Michael Roche, Air Traffic, The Dykeenies, Early Oasis, Wilt, Vesta Varro, Lotus Lullaby, Borndays, Delorentos, Republic of Loose, My Vitriol, Massive Attack, Julie Feeney, The Futureheads & Jacqui Carroll doing Karaoke. Some 80's: Tears for Fears, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Pat Benetar.

Movies:

Could try and be cool and list some Cult film like The Wicker Man or something which is a great film but American Beauty stands out in recent years, God only knows!

Heroes:

Kenny Dalglish, Eamonn Coghlan, Moose Herlihy, Steve Cram.
