This summer we recorded some sessions in Galway and Belfast. So far they have included philip morrow (Vocals, guitars, some percussion and melodica), Emily Mure (vocals), Ryan Langlois (on some guitars, melodica and xylophone), Miceal O'Connor (guitars, vocals and some mandolin) and Ulic Egan (playing a little slide guitar).
If you like ships the size of continents filled with eucalyptus trees and cocoa pods the size of some girl's eyes; Or if you're lost in the woods with neither spade nor earth to displace with it, it might make you smile a little, or a lot more, to listen to some of the songs that philip morrow has allegedly written. The truth of course being that he found them on the inside cover of a Steinbeck novel he stole from a second hand book shop in Tangier.

This is the new myspace account of philip morrow. Last year he released an album under the band name, The Red Rose Cafe. This year he is making another one using his own birth certificate certified name. Born some years ago in a north westerly corner of Ireland he likes to read books about civil wars when he is not writing songs about the characters in them. These days he lives in Galway in another western corner of Ireland. While there, he plays music with some of his friends who you can see in his top 8 friends list.

If you can't wait for the new album to come along, you can get Philip's first record on the iTunes Music Store. All you have to do is search for: 'the red rose cafe', or 'the new year tapes' (that being the name of the album).

You can also keep checking this site for news and new songs fresh from the studio and pictures of various happenings. Or if you could also sign up for the blog. That way you don't even have to come to the site, all the news will go to you.

We are starting a band called Ice Cream for Anka and we need you Mr. Morrow. Come and jump in the ice cream truck...Dom is driving and you can have shot gun. Miss ya man:)
Thanks Mr. Morrow. I have to say, I'm slightly addicted to your Joannes.... There's something I can take for this though oui? Could you, to me, the kerrygold?
Congratulaton! I think today is the first time you were heard in Chile! Yuppi! Man, I..ll be back on the litttle Island latest 2012, can we go north again, then? Please! Sitting on a restless chair, wondering when a miracle will hit me, ANKANKANKANKANKANKA
I really want to add Joanne part 3 to my profile! I love it! Dom, Emily, Anka and I are in the country up at Emily's mom's boyfriends house. Last night we went to hear this great band and listened to YOU on the ride home. We miss you man! Our lovely German friend leaves tomorrow and we're all very sad. How are you?

I had a crazy dream the other night about Donegal. I was talking to this guy who had traveled from the future to the present in order to right some wrong. The thing was though, he was from Donegal, and the Donegal of the future was pretty much the same as the Donegal of the present. So while he had no problems fitting in, his options pretty limited compared to your typical time traveler. Anyway, I found the idea amusing.
Hey, what’s up? things are alright here, I’m back in Austin busy with classes. I love the photos and songs you put up, they make me miss Galway more then I already do. How are things with you? So what ever happened to those recordings you did in Belfast? God Bless!
Sorry for leaving you out in the wings for so long. My internet is down....came back from hols a couple of weeks ago to find the antenna missing off the roof! I'm piggy backing on a guy's in the house but it's disconnecting all the time! Maybe I should have stayed in West Cork!
Roisin?! Oh, man. I saw him in Dec, booked through the RD but he ended up playing the Radisson. Consider me well and truly jealous.
Everything this side is fine and dandy. Booo school, yay summer and all that. I'd rather be your side of things, to be honest. Did you and Ryan ever get to busk around the continent for the summer? New album forthcoming, perhaps?
thanks for adding me to your new page, love your music. the weather is generally misty here too, but for some reason the sun is still shining, hopefully it reaches your side of the ocean soon. can't wait to hear new music! -melissa :)
The weather here is interesting. For the past few weeks it's been overcast until about 2 pm, and then it transitions into a magnificent summer day. Life in the valley, right? Every so often it rains just enough to bleach the cigarette butts and dissolve ash into the pavement. And then again, the leaves are turning crinkly and the apples and pears and black walnuts are starting to ferment. So soon it’s going to rain for days, and things are going to rot in less pleasantly. It smells nice right now though. Sometimes, usually around 3 am, the air is so still and quiet that nothing you feel to remind you of being outside and nothing you see reminds you of being inside.
that jesus profile is between us guys!! haha, what is new in the musicing world?? i miss you guys, i got give me may recorded on my applee ill send it to you guys so you can listen and maybe add anything if you want. phil-- i am honored but should i really be next to leonard cohen like that? i am still listening to your cds. you must come to new york soon, would you consider coming next summer to tour?? we should do.
