Myself and I, I'm always recording various bits of bleep and acoustic mashup kind of stuff - The Void Which Binds EP is a small collection of electronic stuff with a little acoustic guitar chucked in. My next project is definitely going to be an acoustic EP with songs like "Keeping Things Warm" (rough version on my MySpace player) and "Saturday", hungover version in the video below!
Once a week (or thereabouts) - I post an article about cool bands and songs that I've come across lately or that have influenced me in the past, or whatever takes my fancy. Lately I've been joined by Liam as a second writer, so we'll develop the blog into something a bit more detailed in the new year. You can subscribe to the blog by email through a form at that page - that's the way most people receive it (comes through Feedburner).

Thievery Corporation etc.
I'm from a little town called Greystones on the east coast of Ireland - a bit of a musical hot bed - growing up we were all in bands of various kinds and doing our own thing too - some have stuck with it and have pursued it for their living - others given it up and others like myself just enjoying the music as it comes along, playing with as many other people as I can and loving writing songs :)
