Hey there, thanks for finding your way on to my myspace, I hope you like what you’re hearing. I do a mixture of all sorts, mainly a mixture of self penned, traditional and a few well known and not to well known songs. It just makes life more interesting...one minute you can be singing a trad Irish song the next the Rolling Stones!
However its not all me, a lot of credit goes to Mr Rob Kentell (to give him a proper introduction) I've stolen quite a few of his songs although I don't think he is as bothered as he may pretend to be. We've been writing together for quite a while now, he really is great laugh eventhought I try not to encourage him! (I can even just about put up with his relentless Alan Partridge quotations.) This is what he has to say about the situation...
"The chance meeting took place in the summer of 2006 at a music session when the voice of an angel drifted through to the bar where I was conversing with Chris Laye of the Icicle Works (name drop!). Without sounding at all cliched this moment changed my life! After a rather obscure introduction Susie and I began jamming together which eventually led the composing of several songs which as a duo decided to unleash upon the public." (Written by Rob Kentell)
Anyway thanks for listening and if you like what you hear it'd be great to hear from you! I'll always try my best to get back to you! =)
Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I'm going on holiday on the 2nd so won't be able to make it. The Martin Carthy gig sounds good though so I'll definitely get onto that. Cheers Dan
Thanks a lot. It was nice to meet you both. Unfortunately I haven't been able to listen to your stuff cause I haven't got Flash Player. I'm doing some recording with Gary though so I'm sure our paths will cross soon. Also, let me know if that singers night is happening and I'll come down. Cheers
