Every song & artist i've ever heard since i could use my little ears to enjoy the infectious sound that is "music".... No matter how shit or amazing a song or melody has been it has influenced my current musical stlye in some way or another, brother!
Ruairi Coogan's Profile
I work a job to pay the bills like the rest of us.. From a plumber to a student to an office Boy! & now a miner. No.1 in my life are my 2 sons. I Keep fit by giggin' & swimmin', keep the brain healthy by smokin' & smilin', enjoy an occasional bit of craìc & last but not least love my music.
I've played gigs the length & bredth of the country & will continue to do so till the day i stop breathing.
I spent an eye-opening year in Rock School.. Played residency in Whelans way back when. Been & still sometimes involved in 3 original bands (Hip-Hop_Acoustic-Folk_Funk-Rock) & also sing with a tribute Band. But my heart & soul lie in makin' original material.
So, this page is set up to promote my newest musical expedition giggin' round the country, playing my own acoustic material.
I'm sure the Bio will write itself over the coming years...
a lot done, a whole lot more to do!..
Hope to see ye round...
Inspired by many: Bob Marley, Damien Dempsey, Tom Waits, Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone, Zach De Larocha, Joe Strummer, Bill Withers, Otis Redding, 2Pac, B.I.G, Bob Dylan, Foy Vance & countless more...
I now have 2 great musicians playing Rythm with me. Alan (the stallion) Nevin on bass & (dirty derek) a.k.a Deggs on Drums. The boys have contributed to & complimented my music more than i could have imagined, so i'm proper excited about the year ahead. We're gonna be expandin' the band as we see fit as we gig along, so the adventure continues!! If we're playin anywhere near ye, come along coz we don't disappoint.. !
"Ruairi Coogan was a Ruby Tuesday artist last month and the more I hear from him the more convinced I am that he will make a massive impact on the Irish Music Scene. He played about seven tunes today which showcased his talents as a great singer, accomplished musician and decent songwriter."-:
