I am most influenced by the people I meet but in reality there is nothing that I do, see, feel touch or hear that doesn't influence me. But that's kind of a cop out, isn't it? The way I look at it all types of music have their place and if that's where you are that's what you want to hear. From legato classical to banging techno to beautiful songs. It's all good lads, it's all good. If you can recommend me any music to me please do!! I'll buy you a cup of tea in return.
One of my biggest ever influences is the music of Daniel Lanois, he really touches me. Neil Finn of Crowded House is one of my favourite songwriters with whom I am proud to share this round earth. Bill Whithers makes me dance the moment I step out of bed. I also love the songwriting of Paul D. Heaton, hooks galore baby, hooks galore. One of my favourite albums ever, ever, ever is Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue, it's a special experience. Other music in no particular order: David Bowie, Marvyn Gaye, U2, Low, James (album Laid), David Byrne, Nightmare Before Xmas soundtrack, Manic Street Preachers, The Beach Boys, CSNY, Midlake, Daft Punk and for Sebastian Tellier for making my Jaw hit the ground and a whole lot more that I can't think of right now. I really love Manu Chao too. And sure while we're at it I love a bit of snooker too, go on the Ronnie!

Sounds Like
Sounds like a bag of feathers in a snare drum still stuck onto a chicken. But it's a very musical chicken.
Hey Hamlet, I hope you're well. It would be great if you could check out our new video for the single 'Heads'. We shot it in a disused office building on a low budget, calling in all kinds of favours from all kinds of friends... We're really proud of what we came up with. See the results of the two day shoot here:
Havent been on your page for a while or on myspace for that matter. Haven't heard that song of yours ' I am a man' but I like it a lot. Hope all is good. I see yyou're playing in Dublin in March maybe I can come out to see you. :)
