Hello !!!!! Welcome to MySpace You can also tune in to some great music from myfriends section. Well worth the browse.........There is no point having all that great music and information hidden away in the back pages of the friends space so I try to change my top friends as regular as possible, with a few obvious exceptions. So please , please stay awhile and listen to some great music.........................All my gigs will be listed here on myspace.......Ronnie Drew is doing mighty fine. We had a gig on Paddy’s Day and he is talking about a tour later this year. He has recorded a new album with Hugh Buckley ( check him on my front page) Its incredible.......great.....................Spent many years fighting for songwriters and composers rights and the fight was finally taken out of me..... Still .... If you have a few minutes check out the blog on digital rights. Shame on some of our so called concerned major writers who have sold us down the river to protect their own patch..................Human Nature ?????? I dont think so..........................................

I’m launching my new single, “It’s Coming Down”, with a full band show at The Button Factory (formerly Temple Bar Music Centre) on Sunday, June 29th. The band will showcase new songs from my forthcoming album and favourites from my recent album ‘A Whisper in a Riot’.
Very special guests on the night are The Last Tycoons.
The song is available for download on iTunes from Monday, July 7th.
Doors 7.30. 10e.
The song is being featured as the PICK OF THE WEEK on the Strawberry Alarm Clock on FM104 at 8.30 am every morning this week.

You can check it out if you go to our blog entitled 'noel and mary on youtube'. It's a little bluegrass reel. hope we bump into you along the way this summer. all the very best, mary
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
I hope you don't mind me letting you know that Pauls debut album 'LET THE ENEMY IN' is available NOW from iTUNES and on CD from all good record stores. Check out Paul’s profile to hear his new single & for venues, dates of other live appearances and for all the latest news.
'catchy pop fare and grungy guitar blues...tunes to suit anyone's ever-changing mood' **** The Irish Times
'Indestructible...as SUPERB a debut as we've had in a while' ****Hotpress
'a classic songwriter...immensely impressive!' ****Metro
'a stonkingly good debut album...buy it!' ***The Star
Thanks for your time and hope to see you at a gig soon!
