Scratch My Music Performance at Oh Yeah

tom — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 08:10:33 +0000

Hi all! I’ll be performing at the latest Scratch My Music event in the Oh Yeah music centre on Gordon St tonight (Tuesday 12th April). The idea behind Scratch My Music is that songwriters/bands perform a selection of songs with an interview between each song to explore their song writing process. The guest interviewer on Tuesday will be one of my oldest and dearest friend, Rigsy O’Reilly (ATL). Questions will come also from the audience.

To say I’m nervous about this is an understatement but as with most things in life that terrify me, I think it’s best to embrace the challenge. With that in mind, if there are any of my songs you would like explored at the event, please email me and I’ll try to add them to the set list.

The event will be preceded by a Demo Doctor session, where young artists will have a chance to have their demos critiqued by a panel of industry professionals.

The event will take place in the Oh Yeah Cafe between 19.00 & 21.00. It’d be really nice to see some friendly faces.

I’m honoured to be a part of the latest episode of Matt Hazley’s wonderful Imprintthisonyourmind podcast. There’s an interview and I play acoustic previews of three songs that will feature in the recordings on July 3rd plus one oldie from Songs are Sad, dedicated to the musician who inspired it.

The three tracks from the forthcoming album are “The Ballad of Morton Candell”, “Flowers” and “A Personal Narrative of Life at Sea Part II”.

The session was engineers by the very talented Simon Mateer at My First Recorder Studio in Belfast.

I hope you enjoy!
