St.Paddys Day Madness

20 Mar

It’s not enough to have 1 gig on St.Patricks Day. No, it’s better to have  2 back to back, within the same neighbourhood. That way you can reach more people and breath in the buzz. With my buzz intact, I performed a stellar set “Irish Standards” at Paupers (a venue that always invites me back for their biggest events – New Years, St.Paddys etc.) 4:30pm – 8:30pm and after headed to my other home – The Madison for a show 10:00pm – 1:30am. Upon arriving at the Madison, I saw a lineup that extended for at least a city block –  all to see me perform. When I approached and bypassed the lineup, people actually started recognizing me, screaming and yelling song requests –  how weird is that? When performing, I managed to film a majority of the night, and in so doing, edited a 3.5hr show into 10 minutes. It was like running a 10K. 8hrs straight of singing is possible!

screen-shot-2017-01-29-at-3-49-25-pmWay back in 2000 I lived in London England, and performed at a great place called the 12barClub. Friends and family watched from home in Canada as I performed. The sound and resolution wasn’t the best but still..tech-neology was promising. Fast forward to 2017 where social media tools like Perescope and Facebook live are the current norm for live Video. So on Friday Jan.17th I did just that, live broadcasted shows. So much unexpected fun.

Thank You 2016!

8 Jan

I would like to take this opportunity to thank myself for all my hard work in performing across the GTA (and Muskoka) to at least over 5000 people in 2016. It wouldn’t have been as successful if I didn’t try as hard as I did. In particular I would like to thank those people who hired me and rehired me, and re-rehired me for their events. Thanks and all the best to everyone (including myself) in 2017. Cheers to all these wonderful establishments.
