... but I must include Hetty Bryce-Lane from Brycelane, who has opened my eyes (and ears, of course!) to Acoustic Folk Rock.

Hi .. it's just me .. Paul McConkey ... Born and Bred in Belfast,Northern Ireland.
Jed was my nickname at school, funny story about the nickname though;
I was sitting in Clarkes Bar on the Fordham Road, in the Bronx, one Saturday afternoon getting smashed .. as you do when you are 18 (long time ago), .. & this fella starts talkin' to me, passin' the time of day and .. he says ..
"Anyway man! What's your name?"
.. "Jed", I said.
He replies, "Hey cool man! That must be short for Jedadiah, right?"
.. "No, its short for Paul!!", I replied!!

Enough ramblin' ... a little background!
