Mick Duffy is a Songwriter and Musician from Ballymun on Dublin’s Northside.
In March 2007 Mick released his debut album entitled ‘Awakening’ on his independent label ‘mdm’ records. The Album was recorded at the Qube analogue and digital studios Dublin, with Musician and Producer Colm Quearney.
Mick spent a couple of months of 2008 at New Monkey Studios in Los Angeles where he began work on his second record. The album is being produced by Fritz Michaud. Fritz has toured as an engineer with many acts over the years including the Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Silver Sun Pickups and more recently Beck. He has also engineered and produced with many artists, most notably Elliott Smith and Autolux.
Also joining the fray are drummer Scott McPherson (Elliott Smith, Beck, Neil Finn, Bright Eyes), guitarist Joel Martin of the Big Believers and Solon Bixler of the band Great Northern.
Mick returned this summer to complete the record and also played some shows, including the International Pop Overthrow festival in Los Angeles.

Am outta hermit mode now thank the lord. Normality has resumed. Feel free to rob what u will off my bucket list. Need to update it - Have a fair bit to add and a couple to cross off i think! Enjoy the wkend and all that it brings. :)
I made it there aright - deadly day. They did themselves proud - despite the lack of strutting! I dont hang with spongebob anymore im afraid. I've become a hermit and can have no social interaction of any kind - a decision brought on by my current insufferable hangover. It's for the best..
Hey Mick, life under the sea is good, just hanging with spongebob and his crew - can't complain :) Yes, Slane is gonna be immense. Not sure how much strutting the boys will do, but i have no doubt that they will rock! Enjoy :)
