I recently had the opportunity to play a fantastic pub/restaurant called St.James Gate. As I took their stage at 9:30pm, I realized that there was at least  3 parties going on, and each party had a different target age group. Target 1 – baby boomers wanting Beatles/Stones, Target 2 – Gen X’ers wanting U2 and Green Day, Target 3 – Milleniums wanting Lordes, Pink and Daft Punk (yes to be played on Acoustic Guitar). In between this another group wanting traditional irish songs. The show ended at 1:30am, and the targets were all still there, although I had to stop playing, they continued to sing on their own. I’m glad i could help in some way.

It’s not everyday I decide to do my own YouTube video, but after all the show’s done, I thought it would be good idea to show a little mash of a few songs (Wonderwall, Say it Ain’t So, Sweet Child o Mine, Blister in the Sun) from one my many live shows. YouTube is such a powerful tool that I may revisit this idea again with some of my original songs. Here’s the link check it out” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eek4ogW-65I

Ahh December, end of the year, end of a day, end of minute. This month was the grand finale to a year which saw almost 50 gigs. To celebrate I think I may hibernate for January/February and re-immerge in March 2014 a completely different singer-songwriter performer. December’s climax was 4 straight gigs in a row, and the toll on my voice was so apparent that by the last show of the year (Dec.23^rd) I had a healthy supply of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with honey, lemon, ginger and red hot sauce next to me for support. Happy xmas.
