” It is the presence of an unlikely musical venue that makes Clonakilty truly special however, to cross the well worn threshold of the shy and rather retiring de Barras Folk Club, is to enter into a world full of possibilities. The possibility that anyone, literally anyone, might ramble in of the street and do a few tunes.”
Mark Mc Devitt, (Irish Examiner 2000)
“ There’s Carnegie Hall, The Royal Albert, Sydney Opera House and then there’s de Barra’s,"
Christy Moore, (August 2003)
“ All music is 'folk' music, I 'aint never heard a horse sing a song!,"

Hi guys, Ive just topped 100,000 plays on www.numberonemusic.com/jamessullivan after only being on the site for 5 months. Tnx for all of your support. I'm one step closer to reaching my goal of reaching the wider world with my music. James.
A small part of what im doing is giving everyone the story of my life through music, the ups and downs, my frustration and my happiness. I hope whoever takes the time to explore my legacy finds motivation to get through all obstacles that you may face in your life. www.myspace.com/chiefgutta Also check out youtube.com/user/chiefgutta

Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
hey Ray and all the staff. Thanks for a great night last month. Everything I heard about DeBarras is true. Will definitely make the trip back soon! Cheers...
