   About Derek Byrne
New solo show, check out the new site Derek Byrne sings in Irish, English and drum speak, while playing rhythm and lead on five string banjo. He plays a vast array of acoustic percussion, looped live to create a unique texture for each song. Original material makes up the bulk of his set list. He chants in gaelic, plays jigs and reels and covers ancient Irish favorites with a unique twist. Most shows feature Irish dancing with special guest Sean Beglan - Former lead in Riverdance the show. Derek toured for 6 years with Riverdance, as a singer and percussionist. While travelling around the world he passed through Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Carrie, his wife to be was working backstage in the Auditorium. They fell in love and after a three year long distance relationship Derek left the show to marry the love of his life. They now have two kids, Cael and Keira. Derek writes about love ... of his wife, his family and Ireland. He was the singer songwriter of all the original material for the award winning irish band "Eidir".*****GET Derek's first CD "Erin Calling" and the new CD "Seize the Moment" at www.derekbyrnemusic.com

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
