St.Patricks Day Chaos

14 Apr
The Irish know how to celebrate St.Patricks Day, so does the Fox and Fiddle
FoxFiddleat City Centre Spadina/Bremner Street in Toronto. Last month, foxfiddleI was given a fun opportunity to enter the legions of Condo owners in the area to traditional Irish Classics (Black Velvet Band…remember that one),
fox3recent Irish Classics (Mysterious Ways U2), and true pub classics (Blister in the Sun). But interestingly enough, I got dancing from playing Lorde’s “Royals”. It got so rammed in the pub that people were rejected to
st.patty2enter, leaving their faces pressed against the glass (including mine sometimes).

The Gig That Never Really Ended

1 Mar

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. jgTarget 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. jg2The 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.

YouTube You

15 Feb

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
