About Mumblin Deaf Ro

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!

In February 2003 I released my debut album 'Senor, My Friend . . .'on fledgling Dublin indie label Villain Records. Following rigorous scientific testing the irish Times declared it to be 'a rare thing: a genuine cult classic' and Mongrel called it 'one of the lost classics of irish indie pop'. The album includes fingerpicking acoustic songs about lovelorn mental patients, failed boxers, and frustrated authors.

I have written a single for Tom Dunning and Your Boyfriends called 'Fed Up and Strange' which was launched in July - available to buy from www.roadrecs.com.

Both my albums 'Senor, My Friend . . .' and 'The Herring and the Brine' are available from www.roadrecs.com

Please see the Blog section of this page for reviews.

The Herring and the Brine was written over a three-and-a-half-year period. The album is a subtle and tender portrayal of various characters’ lives through the themes of self-doubt, failure, resilience and the search for meaning. The album’s narratives deal with the exhaustion of a novice priest; the regret of a failed Latin American President; the slow drift to despair of a drowning man; and the reflected shock on an isolated rural community following a brutal murder by two sisters. Other than that, it’s fairly cheerful.

The title comes from the album’s penultimate song (‘Restring the bow’) in which a dissolute young rake escapes a personal crisis by fleeing to work and to come to terms with his conscience in a canning factory in Northern Germany (“And so I spend my time/Among the herring and the brine”).

Here is me playing in Road Records for International Record Store Day
