   Alex's Blurbs
About me:
So this is me...I'm about 30, got 3 choice kids and I work in corporate-land keeping them in clothes and food and stuff...

But really I'm a music addict who thinks that Paddy Punk is why humans were put on the earth. I love beer and whiskey, and playing mandolin and banjo. Celtic music is the best thing ever and when combined with punk (sound and attitude) makes for dam fine entertainment and gets me through the day plus most of the night.

I've recently joined an Irish band....things are going great so far and really excited about our first gigs next year. Check us out at http://www.myspace.com/filthyreel

I contribute a bit to the ShitenOnions community: http://www.shitenonions.com/ doing my bit to raise the profile of this truly outstanding genre of music. Or check 'em out on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/shitenonions/

I just love live music and will go see anything I reckon might be good at every opportunity. On average I get out to a live show a couple of times a month, which at this point in my life seems like a bloody fine effort, if I say so myself. I play in a semi-organised covers band (we had our first real paying gig the other night!) and I rock on up to the local Irish sessiun (free beer for those playing) as often as I can.

And thats it. Give me a fast reel, a pint of stout and some good company and I'm all yours...Slainte!

..

Who I'd like to meet:
Shane MacGowan and Dave King

Oh and anyone out there who's into punk, folk music or preferably both!..

OK, bag head, where to from here? I paid some kids outside the petrol station to be passing out wolf tickets on the filth, so we should have a couple of hours get-away time before the heat is on.

Sir !!

You will always be welcome in Sin City, but we are very keen to get to New Zealand, any ideas? The Bilge Rats seem pretty fierce, as do a couple of good ol' crews we're looking into ... if you are interested in getting onboard, we'd like to work on a New Zealand tour next year with good men and true, and play every main burgh at least once. You know, really make it worth it; Auckland, Hamilton, Dunedin, Christchurch, the whole bit.

Seeya soon mate.
