2018-10-11 Skylarks Music Club - Mcauley Place Naas

So the first ever Skylarks Music Club event was a sell out… Ross Breen, Farah Elle and Cathy Davey all played to a packed out McAuley Place in Naas. And what a night it was.

I’d never heard of Ross Breen, but really enjoyed his set. So much so that I came away with a couple of CDs and a 7” vinyl! If you get the chance, check him out, really really good set.

Next up on the night was the incredible Farah Elle. Her music is heavily influenced by her Libyan backround, her voice soars and sways in the air, it’s a thing of beauty. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Farah Elle, but again, just go see her play and make up your own mind!

Headliner on the night was the fantastic Cathy Davey. I was lucky enough to be at the live recording of her latest album 'Live At Dublin Unitarian Church' earlier this year, so when I heard she would be in Naas, sure I just had to go!

For the Skylark set, Cathy performed an exclusive set of Phil Spector songs. I'll be quite honest, I never thought I knew that many songs written by him, but I was so wrong! For the last couple of songs on the night, Cathy was joined on stage by Ross, Farah and, founder member of Skylarks Music Club, Sive, It was a great end to a magical night of music and I’m already looking forward to future Skylark gigs.

Bye Bye Spotify...

I ditched Spotify Premium this weekend. Why? Well, I read an interview with Daniel Ek , the CEO of Spotify, and I profoundly disagreed with what he said and his attitude towards musicians in the interview. So I said 'F*ck it', and closed my premium account. I still do have a free account as many bands choose Spotify to release their music, so I'll keep it for that reason. What now though? Well, I'd created a large library of music on my home server over the last 20 years or so. Every time I bought a CD, it got ripped to the server. Every time I bought digital music from Bandcamp , Google or 7 Digital , they too got stored on the server, and that was fine for home use, it worked well. But now I'd dumped Spotify, what could I do, how could I access my music outside the house? I'd played around with software called Plex a few years back, but had no use for it. I ended up doing nothing with Plex, but for this project, I decided to revisit it. I knew that if

A Love Letter to Music Venues

I was in Dublin city centre this morning for the first time in 12 months. The last time I was there was to see Jane Willow perform in the Cobblestone Pub on February 29th 2020. I never, not for a moment, thought things would turn out as they did. I was looking forward to a year full of gigs and excitement. I think we all know how that turned out. After doing what I had to workwise, I took a spin around Dublin before I headed home. I drove by the aforementioned Cobblestone Pub , the Voodoo Lounge , The Grand Social , The Workmans Club , The Sugar Club and ended up outside Whelans . I've had great nights out in each of those venues and in many more around the country! Dolans of Limerick, Crane Lane Theatre and Kino in Cork, Odd Mollies in Drogheda, the Moat Theatre in Naas, the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Visual in Carlow... The list goes on and on. 2017 and Helmet played Whelans. There I am partying with them after the s

Pete Kavanagh - Mercy Video Shoot

I've been asked a few times if I'd be interested in shooting a music video. Each time I said no because, well, I'd no idea what to do. I'm not technical behind a camera. I know the look I want, I take my photos and, that's it. I honestly don't know what I'm doing, it just works for me, sometimes (they're the photos you see!). I've known Pete Kavanagh a long time. We both grew up in the same Kildare town and know many of the same folk. Over the last few years we became friends through music. He played, I listened and or photographed. So, when he asked me if I'd shoot his video for 'Mercy', I said yes, albeit a hesitant yes, one filled with self doubt! Day one of shooting came around all too quickly for me. I'd looked in to shooting video, read up a bit on how to do it on my camera, what settings to change and so on, just so I wouldn't look clueless on set! I charged all the batteries and lights, packed all the gear away an
